I’ve been wondering these last few days if there is a definite correlation between whether you are a day time website browser and a night time website browser as to what sort of website colour schemes appeal to you, Dark on Light, or Light on Dark?

This pondering occurred when I started noticing that if I am browsing the web during the day, I don’t tend to mind pages with a light background and dark text as much as I normally do at night. At night I tend to prefer dark backgrounds with lighter text colours, and I also seem to have a tendency to like these colour schemes in general. I also noticed that I tend to do most of my web browsing at night, which seems to indicate to me that the light has a major effect on my preference for darker colour schemes.

I’m interested in your opinions on this… What is your preference, and what do you believe drives it?

I’m really excited as tonight I have started my IT Cert4 course in Website design. I’ve been looking forward to this course and was very disappointed last Thursday when I was sick. This course is hopefully going to start my career in web content.

This evening we were looking at actual design concepts, which is where I probably need a lot of help. It’s good to have some theory to understand why certain designs are really interesting whilst others don’t really.

Syridian.com has existed for quite some time and will continue to do so, but in celebration of Australia and the fact that Syridian.com is actually an Aussie site, syridian.com will now redirect to syridian.id.au.  Whilst I’m going to try and remember to start giving people the .id.au address from now on, I know I’ll forget to unless I redirect the website to always remind me.
