There are a lot of different schools of thought on Feng Shui. While I agree that there is just too much misinformation out there, there is also a lot of good sources. But as with all sciences/practices without any form of governing body to align their practices and to decide what is right or wrong, Feng Shui has split into a multitude of schools and varying beliefs.

You can however get quite a lot of information at some websites: www.fengshuitimes.com, www.masteryjournal.com and www.dragon-gate.com/resources/

I personally have not started studying formally.. but I am considering. In the mean time, I just do a lot of research online.

Thank you Carol for your comments. My source is obviously misinformed. I would welcome a post from you on this topic as it applies to website design and navigation. I will happily post it with due credit to you and a link to your website. Can feng shui be applied to website design and architecture?

As a traditional practioner of Feng Shui, as well as 20 years experience in graphic design and communications fields for a sizable corporation, what you have described is good graphic design principles as applied to web sites and publications …not Feng Shui.

Too much misinformation about Feng Shui already exists. Let’s not confuse graphic design, interior decorating, color psychology with the practice of Feng Shui which uses mathmatical calculations based on time and space to harmonize humans with buildings and the environment.

While I agree the importance of any good design to be clean, and conistent with the “brand” image of your product or service, it must also be appropriate for the target audience. None of which is Feng Shui, just good business practices if you want to deliver key messages to the audience simply, and consistently.
