What is the design?

Question

Design

Actually, I would like to take apart my work in parts, work through each part and make an improved version out of it. But into what "parts" should it be divided? What is the design? Composition, lettering, etc.

Answer 1

line
scale
color
repeatability
negative space
symmetry
transparency
texture
balance
hierarchical
contrast
frame
mesh
chaos
direction
rules
movement
depth
typography
composition
Parts are determined only by you. With the level of detail that you personally have now mastered.
And most likely you meant typography, not lettering.

Answer 2

Dmitry Kirsanov, "Web design".
The book will soon turn 20 years old, so in all technical sections it is hopelessly outdated.
But the theory sections are timeless and very well presented.

Answer 3

Is it a question of web design?

Answer 4

Don't complicate. There are just a few fundamental things that you constantly need to think about while working:
1. Typography.
Header-text font pairs, text column widths and line spacing, kerning (not just uppercase - web fonts need to be kerned in plain text as well).
2. Color palette.
Background color, couple of colors for text, main accent for buttons/illustrations, secondary accent, link colors.
3. Layout.
You can include a grid here, although after 10 years of work I abandoned it, but in general it is an important thing on large projects, and here the relationship of elements to each other - what is more important, then more / higher / more contrast.
4. Design of specific elements.
There is a lot of everything, it is important, but understanding comes only with experience. For example, labels are best placed above the inputs, and not on the left, and the inputs themselves, if there are many of them, should be placed in one column - this will allow you not to get lost in a large form when filling out. Or you need to understand that a person first notices the image and only then the text. Or that the title should be visually closer to its block, and not to the previous one. There are so many little things that it is impossible to describe them all here. Read blogs, Gorbunov's advice, Tilda. But it is impossible to learn without practice.
