Costa, Pedro (2008): Evaluating web site design. In: DOC08 2008. pp. 265-266. Available online

“The webpage aesthetics is one of the factors that affect the way people are attracted to a site. But two questions emerge: how can we improve a webpage's aesthetics and how can we evaluate this item? In order to solve this problem, we identified some of the theory that is underlying graphic design, gestalt theory and multimedia design. Based in the literature review, we proposed principles for web site design. We also propose a tool to evaluate web design.”

The artistic environment of contemporary art is achieved as a fundamental background for Internet Art. It is in this context that we proposed the Webstorm project that has as main objective support the digital art creation using an electronic brainstorming, voting and a graphical retrieval component.”

In this paper we start by introducing the wider context of New Media Art and explore the features of this area, illustrating with some examples. The artistic environment of contemporary art is achieved as a fundamental background for Internet Art. It is in this context that we proposed the Webstorm project.”

“ Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience. ”

-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996 ”
