webOaSe should be aesthetically attractive, which means it
;fu
S-'B.should be pleasing to the eye. To achieve a pleasant
appearance, Web designers use images that can attract users, such
as good-looking models, funny cartoons, and other eye-catching
graphics. Animation has also become a popular design element.
Moving or flashing text and icons, scrolling images, and video clips
are used to enhance a website and attract attention. However, color
remains one of the most effective Web design tools. A webpage is
considered most attractive when the color scheme is well balanced
and consistent. The colors on the webpage need to complement
each other well. They also need to match the webpage theme. For
example, the webpage of a cancer support group may use pastel or
muted colors because of the serious subject matter whereas the
color scheme of a party supply store will rely on bright colors to
create a feeling of excitement. Ultimately, all the visual elements
used in Web design should combine to create a webpage that is
visually appealing. [176 words]
