Internet Connection Struggles & a Few Things to Keep in Mind

In English class today, although we had trouble connecting to the internet that resulted in us spending most of our class time getting our computers to function properly, Mr. Paterson spent the time we had left to talk about UX. UX stands for user experience. First off, when he looked through our book review plan-out, he noticed that some design techniques were not very effective. I learned that either 1.5 or double spacing is recommended to make sure anybody can read through smoothly. In terms of user experience, I thought that this is really important as you wouldn't want viewers to feel irritated by how hard it is to read the text. Also, Mr.Paterson showed us some examples of fonts and colors of texts that make it hard for certain people (I forgot the word, but it takes up about 10% of people). Of course, lights like neon yellow and off-whites were not easy to see at all, and some fonts we were shown were not legible at all. I definitely see why using colors like navy and using simple fonts is commonly found on company sites. In my presentation that we'll start working on, I will make good font and color decisions for the text. Lastly, he mentioned not to copy and paste the entire link since Google allows us to hyperlink it to shorter, simplified phrases.
