Theme – Examples, PDF

Step 1: Determine The Use of the Theme

Before you begin planning for a theme you are going to use, you must determine the main purpose of the theme. If you are creating a Shopify webpage, then your Shopify theme should be leaning more towards a more professional direction, whilst a personal theme like an iPhone theme can be more catered to your taste.

Step 2: Research Your Target Audience

If the thing you are building will have a target audience, then you must research the various preferences, tastes, and aesthetics of your target audience. This will help you obtain the attention, interest, and positive impression of your target audience.

Step 3: Select The Direction of Your Theme

Each theme should have its creative direction, as the said direction will dictate the context of all the visual elements you will incorporate into your theme. The theme you choose should be either catered to your preferences or your target audience’s preference.

Step 4: Create an Outline with All the Visual Elements and Colors You Are Going To Use

To finish your planning for the theme of a specific thing, you must create an outline that will contain all the visual elements and colors you want to use in the theme. This will provide you with the necessary structure you can use to easily make your theme.

FAQs

What is the difference between dark and light themes regarding web pages or apps?

Most current online web pages allow users to swap and switch between light and dark themes. Light themes use colors on the lighter side of the spectrum allowing the user to see everything. This is juxtaposed with dark themes that use colors on the darker side of the spectrum often opting for greys and blacks in the UI. Most web pages are created in light mode, allowing the visitor to see all the visible aspects of the UI, but some people find the bright colors of light mode to be very distracting and painful for their eyes.
