Today we will spend some time analyzing DESIGN.

Although many popular and well-designed sites use Flash or advanced scripting, there is a lot we can still learn from the VISUAL aspects of the design itself: the color scheme, font, the sense of space and the aesthetics are important above any movement. Think about the structure and concept for your sites. Imagine them without movement, focusing only on the visual elements. Make a list of how they fit the parameters listed in this article from Digital Web Magazine: Principles and Elements of Design
With your group, compile a list to verify how the site addresses these parameters:
-balance
-rhythm
-proportion
-dominance
-point
-line
-form
-color
