Bowman’s article A Design Process Revealed illustrates the design process in which one must go through to achieve a well planned layout for any design. Designers do not suddenly develop spectacular websites; it takes planning and careful considering about basic design principles, such as contrast, eye flow, color, and imagery.
One must first understand what the problem is then research other websites and competitive sites to gain ideas about the problem. This is done so to overcome the weaknesses and to try to better the strengths of what others have done. Then the designer must make several rough sketches called thumbnails to get an idea what the site will look like. After that, the designer must make careful thought as the typeface and images that will be used in the design to effectively tie the design together so that it will not confuse the user about the site. Finally, the designer will start making the site and strengthen the design using Cascading Style Sheets to make an effective layout.
In short good design does not happen overnight it takes time and consideration on the part of the designer to come up with the best answer to the design problem.
