I need help with some review questions for my web page design class?

admin — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:07:16 +0000

I’m majoring in web page design and I have some review questions and I can’t seem to find the answers so hopefully someone can help me.

1. Which of the following page-related terms refer to the same thing?
A. Type page/text area
B. Trim size/text page
C. Type page/trim size
D. Open line/leading

2. A long document, such as a book, can usually be divided into which of the following three main sections?
A. Copyright section, main text, appendix
B. Preliminary pages, main text, front matter
C. Preliminary pages, main text, index
D. Preliminary pages, main text, back matter

3. Which of the following must a designer be aware of when planning the design of a document?
A. The person who wrote the document
B. The retail and wholesale prices of a document
C. The intended audience
D. The professional printer to be used

1: I’ve been in Web design since 1998 and never heard of "type page," "text page," "trim size" or "open line" used in a Web context (I have 12 years of newspaper experience, and have heard those terms used in print). I’d go with D but I think your instructor made up these terms.

2. Again, these terms are used in printing, not Web work. Books are actually divided most commonly into "front matter" (copyright / ISBN, foreward, preface, perhaps reviews, etc.), chapters and "back matter" (afterward, acknowledgments, author bio, appendices, index, etc.) I’d go with D but again, your instructor made this up.

3. C: The intended audience. You must make technical concessions to the printer, and the author is often going to want to have some say in presentation, but as a rule, you design for the target audience. Collateral you make for teens generally will not look like similar information you make for seniors.

WEB PAGE DESIGN AND GRAPHICS NEEDED?

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:08:06 +0000

Please, can i have a way to teach myself how to build a web page for a company that deals with construction materials, i don’t have previous knowledge with web design but i am a computer tech.

i agree get a pro web designer to do this for you it will probably cost you less in the end. we get loads of people with terrible self made sites that they have used for a year or so approaching us to try to fix them. it just doesnt work if you have no clue where to begin even.

Is and Associates degree in web page design enough to make decent money?

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 11:47:01 +0000

how much more is a bachelors degree demanded?, will an associates be enough? and what kind of salary can i expect?

An associates degree is all you need in this industry. Many companies are cheap and will start you as low as they can and keep you low.

I topped out at $40k. Truthful advice…

Slave at one of those companies for a few years, and steal all their clients you can. That’s how they all started…

How to prevent my web page design getting ripped off?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:48:02 +0000

There is currently no technological way to prevent anyone from copying the design of a web page. Web browsers must be able to read your design in order to display your web page correctly for the user, and any design elements that a browser can read, a person can also read.

Incidentally, if there were a way to prevent copying of a web page’s design then phishing sites would have a much more difficult time of tricking people into giving up private information.

In web page design, what do you call the little window that pops up when you put your cursor over something?

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:33:31 +0000

I am only asking the name of this concept….I know it’s complicated to actually create. I’m trying to design a web page and I want to add the little windows that pop up to give you more info about something on the page…like on netflix.com, where you put your browser over a movie title and it’s full summary pops up in a little window, but it’s not flash and it doesn’t actually open a pop-up or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated….I only need to know the name of this concept so that I can learn more. Thanks so much!!!!

It’s often called a "tooltip." While there are more complex implementations using CSS, there’s actually a very simple way to accomplish it that works in most browsers. Just add a "title" property to your tag. You can do this for a link, a button, or an image, among others. Here’s an example for a link:

Some text

This will render as "Some text" with a link to somwebpage.com. When the user hovers over the link, a tooltip will pop up that says "Here’s where the tooltip text goes."

I hope this helps.

Web Page Design/Upgrade!!?

admin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:30:11 +0000

Hi.
I have a website for a business I recently opened. I am looking for someone who knows web design and do an upgrade for me, or at least make it a bit attractive, to the outdoor market! It is kind of boring and the guy who did it for me, did it and then skipped, so I have a rather boring website for what I paid! Or can anyone please tell me if I bought a decent template, how do I put it in or what exactly is involved to change the home page to a bought template! My current site is pertinent to importing and selling Landrover/Freelander etc…spares and accessories !!!Thanks!

Hi Anita

please email me with the details and address of your site so i can take alook and tell you what can be done

I’ve been thinking about a new web page design that would include a giant standing in boxers(US flag boxers of

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:21:34 +0000

course) pissing on the head of the pope while holding his hands up above him trying to deflect it away( who is dressed in an SS outfit with swaztika armband and all, but wearing the red beanie) standing upon a Mexican flag (with the white part of it yellowing from the piss. And Several miniature banks(you can add their names, but to include the federal reserve) crushed and destroyed by large bags of gold coin dropped from the giant’s hands. Too mean or sound about right? Suggestions? I think it would be a good way to let them know if they want Rome, go elsewhere.
Overall though good or bad GBC?
Enn: Treason eh? LOL!!!! Well se there is a little bitty problem with that scenario. Just so happens that protestants came here to escape Roman catholicism, as did the Freemasons originally, Jews, and of course we cannot forget the Huguenots from France. Nah i’d say i’m ok. If anybody should be worried about treason it should be the ones behind illegal immigration, but ah wait a minute!!! Was it not a Roman Catholic church that harbored that lady from Mexico in Chicago for months on end? Hmm. And let’s not even begin to get started about Bank of America. Hey….. they picked the fight.

I said it once, i will say it again. You are a creative genius lol.

Overall good design layout drives the point home i feel. Now, see for laughs if you can get a federal grant and do it! That’s where the real message will be heard.

is it possible to design your own web page?

admin — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:33:32 +0000

I have opened my own marketing business and would like to design my web page. Is there any wayof doing it for free?

In the last month I have tried more than a dozen web building programs.
There is only one that works well for a beginner.
Search for WYSIWYG web builder.. That is for What you see is what you get.
It is published by Pablo, and it is the best.
Download the free 1 month trial version and go for it. It is "drag and drop" you don;t have to write one word of code.
Insert text, pictures, files, just about anything and I haven’t seen one glitch yet. If you can’t get a web site up and running with this program in less than a week, then you need a programmer.
After you have finished your web site, you will have to contact a company for a name registration and for hosting. Good luck.

What is the best web-page-design software on the market?

Adobe Dreamweaver.
