Procedure:
A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson
1. Have you ever visited any website? Were you attracted to these websites? Why?
2. Will you keep visiting these websites? Please explain briefly your answer on your
sheet of paper.
3. List 5 different websites that you have or kept on visiting.
33
C. Presenting examples/instances of the lesson
Users can access websites on a range of devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets,
and smartphones. The software application used on these devices is called a web
browser.
Web design refers to the design of websites that are displayed on the internet. It
usually refers to the user experience aspects and it used to be focused on designing
websites for desktop browsers; however, since the mid-2010s, design for mobile and
tablet browsers has become ever-increasingly important.
A web designer works on the appearance, layout, and, in some cases, content of a
website. Appearance, for instance, relates to the colors, font, and images used. Layout
refers to how information is structured and categorized. A good web design is easy to use,
aesthetically pleasing, and suits the user group and brand of the website.
The main design principles that apply to any piece of graphic design
The principles of design suggest how a designer can best arrange the various elements of
a page layout in connection to the overall graphic design and to each other. How these
principles are applied determines how effective the design is in conveying the desired
message and how attractive it appears.
Balance
Visual balance comes from arranging the elements so that no section is heavier than
another. Sometimes elements are thrown out of balance to give emphasis or create a
certain mood. Typography, colors, images, shapes, patterns, etc.—carries a visual weight.
Some elements are heavy and draw the eye, while other elements are lighter. The way
that these elements are laid out on a page should create a feeling of balance
34
Contrast refers to how different elements are in a design, making them more easily
discernible from one another. Contrast is very important in creating accessible designs.
Insufficient contrast can make text content in particular very difficult to read, especially for
people with visual impairments
Proximity/Unity
The relationship between people or elements in a design is affected by proximity. How
close or far apart elements are suggests a relationship or lack of. Unity can be created by
using a third element to connect distant parts. Are all the title elements together? Is
contact information all together? Are all related elements together? In design proximity or
closeness creates a bond or a link.
Alignment
Alignment brings order to the design. How type and graphics are aligned on a page and in
relation to each other makes the layout easier or more difficult to read. Has a grid been
used? Is there a common alignment?
Repetition/Consistency
Repeating design elements and consistency of style shows a reader where to go and
helps them navigate the design. Do the page numbers appear in the same place from
page to page? Are headlines consistent in size style, placement? Is the style consistent
throughout?
White space
Designs that cram too much into a small space are uncomfortable and maybe confusing
and difficult to read. White space gives the design breathing space. Is there enough space
between columns of text? Does text sit clear of the graphics? But beware too much white
space and the elements will seem to float on the page.

Check list
Infographics allow us to TELL a more complete STORY of the data and are more
ENGAGING than most traditional ways of communicating data and information. The focus
of good infographics is always on communicating INSIGHTS.
35
Types of Infographics
1. Statistical
2. Process Flow
3. Geographic
A file format is a standard way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file.
It specifies how bits are used to encode information in a digital storage medium. File
formats may be either proprietary or free and may be either unpublished or open.
36
GIF - Graphics Interchange Format
GIFs are most common in their animated form, which are all the rage on Tumblr pages
and in banner ads. It seems like every other day we have a new Grumpy Cat or Honey
Boo Boo animated GIF. In their more basic form, GIFs are formed from up to 256 colors
in the RGB colorspace. Due to the limited number of colors, the file size is drastically
reduced.
F. Developing Mastery
1. Enumerate 5 file format that you think are most appropriate in designing an ICT
content.
2. Give the 5 elements of infographics. In your own words, explain briefly each
element.
3. Create your own step by step procedures in accomplishing an infographic.
37
G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living
1. Based on your own honest opinion and experience, what is the difference between
PDS and PDF file format? Which one has advantages over the other? Why? Write
your composition on your activity sheet.
Knowing the basic design principles in web development is a key to producing, publishing,
and evaluating web resources.

Based from your answers on the activity “Look at me! Am I combined or not?” answer
the following questions in a 1 whole sheet of paper.
2. What are the possible tools used in combining different images forming one(1)
picture? Give at least 3 tools that you thought were used. In your own words, how were
these images combined using the tools you’ve mentioned in question number 2?
Photo manipulation techniques help you be a magician as you can change your
photograph in your way that apparently seems real and fantastic though it’s manipulated.
This method also allows you to make your beautiful images more professional and
enticing.
42
Examples of image manipulation software are Adobe Photoshop, Mobile Image Editor,
remove.bg, GIMP.
Most of the time, we just capture an image and upload it on our Facebook account. From
there, Facebook does the rest by formatting our image to best fit the standards set by
Facebook. But once you run your own website, you will have to edit your images. It seems
a simple task but you have to strike the balance between the right image quality and the
time for the page to load these images.
Personal websites do not necessarily have to downsize the file size of the images. But if
you have a wider target audience, you need to make the necessary changes. Here are
some tips to help you edit images from your website:
Choose the right file format. Try to make a real-life photograph into GIF to see the
difference between PNG, GIF and JPEG. Knowing the purpose is the key to finding out the
best file formats.
You might review the previous lesson to check on other file formats
Choose the right image size. A camera with 12 megapixels constitutes to a bigger image
size. Monitors have a resolution limit, so even if you have a million megapixels, it will not
display everything. Thus, it is not always wise to make our image big, most especially in a
website. Know how much space you want the image to consume. Or have a “preview”
image where the audience has the option to “see full size”.
Caption it. Remember to put a caption on images whenever possible. If it’s not
related to the web page, then remove it.
43
Photo Editing
Photo editing encompasses the processes of altering images, whether they are digital
photographs, traditional photo chemical photographs, or illustrations. Traditional
analog image editing is known as photo retouching, using tools such as an airbrush to
modify photographs, or editing illustrations with any traditional art medium.
Raster Images are stored in a computer in the form of a grid of picture elements or
pixels.
Vector Images such as Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape and etc. are used to create and
modify vector images, which are stored as descriptions of lines, Bezier curves and text
instead of pixels.
Difference Between Raster And Vector Images
Graphics software/apps can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors, raster
graphics editors, and 3D modelers are the primary tools with which a user may
manipulate, enhance, and transform images. Many image editing programs are also
used to render or create computer art from scratch.

software. The software allows users to manipulate, crop, resize, and correct color
on digital photos. (not free)
6. GIMP ( /ɡɪmp/ GHIMP) (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free and open-
source raster graphics editor used for image retouching and editing, free- form
drawing, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks.

In this part of the subject, you will be expected to simulate or demonstrate your ability to
use digital tools to produce materials for printing, posting, and at some later point in the
course, uploading images to online.

Photo Manipulation
Photo manipulation involves transforming or altering a photograph using various methods
and techniques to achieve desired results. Some photo manipulations are considered
skillful artwork while others are frowned upon as unethical practices, especially when used
to deceive the public, such as hat used for political propaganda , or to make a product or
person look better.
Photo Editing – signifies the regular process used to enhance photos and to create
them ‘’Actual editing simple process’’. Also includes some of the regular programs used
for editing and expose how to use them.
Photo Manipulation – includes all simple editing techniques and have some
manipulation techniques like erasing, adding objects , adding some graphical effects,
background correction, creating incredible effect, change elements in an image, adding

styles , eliminating blemishes from a person’s face and changing the features of a
person’s body.
