<\/a><\/p>\nThe course talked about different layouts, colours and by using set rules within design it boasted that any developer could produce a pleasing style and a look that\u00a0uses will enjoy and quoted \u2018a successful layout equalled attention!!\u2019.<\/p>\n
This was what I needed and wanted! I wanted my RLOs to look outstanding.\u00a0I only seem to have one way of laying out content, which is, writing on the left, images on the right.\u00a0However, I\u2019m not planning to change this, as this in reflection seems to be a rule that works for e-learning and this style helps the learner not to be\u00a0distracted through complicated over designed projects.<\/p>\n
The course looked at a range of rules, one of which encountered the balance of squares; and balancing of everything on the page through the use of the different sizes and positions of squares. Another rule was to use a grid style of 3 parts, where you divide the page in to 3, that can be vertically, horizontally or both. I quite like these rules I seem to understand the logic a little better compared to other rules that were\u00a0shown.<\/p>\n
Following the course,\u00a0I decided to implement the square design rule that I had learnt, to do this I planned to use an RLO that I had started but not got too deep into.\u00a0At first glance I still liked the way I had laid out the content within the RLO, so an issued I had caused for myself, was to keep the layout, but implement the rule I had learnt.<\/p>\n
After course So I began by adding the internal margins around the content, ensuring that there was equal space on all four sides. I then divided the page in half, both horizontal and vertical.\u00a0Having set the margins, I moved on to lining up content,\u00a0the buttons were lined down the middle, so I treated the different sides of the page separately.\u00a0I have learnt content does play a large part in the design and not all rules can be implemented but if the basic ones are followed then the overall look and feel is still pleasing to the user.<\/p>\n
