Aesthetics

My definition of aesthetics is pleasing to the senses mostly visual. its short and to the point. Now i'm going to talk about two websites, one that is aesthetically pleasing and on that isnt. In my opinion, most websites on the net are aesthectically pleasing because they employ web designers to make sure that they are aesthetically pleasing.

A website that i find aesthetically pleasing is wikipedia . Wikipedia is a very useful website and to me it is aesthetically pleasing. It set set out properly with picture placed down the left and right. Also, if it is a long page there are links at the top of the page to take you to other places on the page so you dont have to scroll down looking for a certin part. It has a nice white background with black writing and also blue writing which means links to other pages on wikipedia about the certin word or phrase in blue. At the bottom of the page there is also links to other pages, in blue as well, concerning the topic and sometimes a table with links to other pages in wikipedia. Boxes are used around some text to draw attention to it as well.

Now to talk about a website that is ot aesthetically pleasing. I couldnt think of a webite off the top of my head that isnt aesthetically pleasing so i looked up bad website in google and came up with the Worlds Worst Website . This website isnt aethetically pleasing but on purpose. The website shows mistakes that some web designers make when designing a website. The website is full of animations,a flashing background, many different coloured boxes and fonts and many other things that arent aesthetically pleasing. this website is a good example of a website that looks bad but has good information.
