- From this topic, list at least 5 design issues that you
should begin to consider as you add color and graphics to
your pages.
- Make sure that your background is not so "busy"
that your text is hard to read.
- If tiling an image make sure to choose something
that does not have an obvious boundary.
- Remember that the average home computer user is connecting
via a dial up modem and do all possible to make your pages
load faster (ie always code the dimensions of images, use
interlaced GIF's etc).
- Use web safe colors to ensure that your website is viewed
more consistently on different browsers
- Don't break the law - you can't just copy any image from the
internet and use it. Look for sites that specifically state
that you may use their images or ask permission otherwise.
