It’s all C.R.A.P.: Four Principles of Design | THINKblog What a bunch of C.R.A.P.! There are four principles of design that we want you to get under your belt. If you’re a designer, you’ll know this stuff already. If you’re a programmer, you might not. What’s important to understand is that if you can get these 4 principles under your belt, then over time you’ll develop a feel for why designs don’t work, and you’ll identify that really, really fast. It’s like you’ll have some secret superpower. Watch the video, read the stuff below, and suggestion: if you haven’t ever seen this stuff before, print it out, put it on the wall, and absorb! The 4 Principles of Design Follow these four rules for better design! C. is for Contrast. Creating contrast for elements means that discrete elements stand out. R. is for Repetition. Repetition, for instance making a header and footer the same color, makes scanning a website easier. A. is for Alignment. Columns within a page makes it easier to scan horizontally. P. is for Proximity. – Gregory and Mark

'Not Worth It': Why NC College Students Are Turning Away From Teaching UNC-Chapel Hill senior Jailen Wallis has always been tempted to become a high school English teacher. She's cutting across campus on her way to her work-study at the library. A literature junkie, she loves the idea of teaching young people to enjoy reading and writing as much as she does. But Wallis will graduate in May with degrees in sociology and English—not education. "Teaching in North Carolina right now is not worth it, unless you can’t imagine doing anything other than teaching," Wallis explained. Jess Clark reports on North Carolina's diminishing number of graduates pursuing teaching. Wallis’ mother is a teacher, and Wallis knows what challenges of the job are, and what the pay is. "It’s not a job that you leave at the end of the day at 4 or 4:30 or 5 or 5:30, or whenever you finish with all your staff meetings," she said. Wallis is not the only student who feels that way about the profession. "There’s absolutely no incentive right now to go into it with your masters," Wallis said.
