Welcome to my full Divi mini series Effective Divi Web Design Principles where we’re exploring effective design practices to help empower new web designers and those who identify as someone without an “eye for design.”
I must say that while I understand some people are more gifted in creativity than others, I strongly contend that YOU CAN learn good basic design principles. You may not become the Michelangelo of Divi, but by golly you can still learn some good design practices to apply to your web design endeavors.
I’ll spare the embarrassment of posting some of my first web designs but I’ll just say that my “eye for design” is ever-evolving and is maturing more everyday. By no means did I start out where I am today. And frankly, design is important in more than just web design. It plays a big part in organizing content, writing emails, taking good pictures with your phone and more. So it’s very important to know a few basic principles to apply to other aspects of your life too.
So, if you’ve ever caught yourself saying any of the following;
- “I just don’t have an eye for design.”
- “I don’t have a creative bone in my body.”
- “I can code but I can’t design.”
Then this series is for you!
