Digital 02 Workbook

The Design: Ideas

Notes from last lesson:

Rather than writing everything, I'll just note the important stuff!

First page: index.html or .htm. All file names must be in lowercase. Less than 8 characters, no spacing, symbols, etc.

Image files: - JPEG / JPG, GIF & PNG (not often used)

Movies: .mov - quicktime, .avi, .mpeg & .swf (flash). most of these require software/browser plugins.

CSS: Cascading Style Sheets. Determines how your webpage looks.

Screen Resolution: 72 DPI is the internet standard, also 96 DPI available. Screen resolutions vary - most commonly used ones include 800 x 600 & 720 x 1024.

Recommended maximum size for each webpage: 150 kilobytes. x_x

Design Ideas:

I'd like to base my overall website design on paper - because that's what words are primarily written on.

- So backgrounds like refill paper, post it notes, etc.

- I would like to arrange the navigation links and main body content/text in a noticeboard style layout. However noticeboards tend to look cluttered as notices are placed in an unorganised fashion. Website layouts should be organised & look neat so that visitors can browse/navigate the site easily. So, if I were do do a noticeboard, it would have to be a very tidy one.

* Will add sketches later.
