Chapters 9, 10 & 12

Chapter's 9 & 10 as well as several articles I read on line, explain how to prepare a picture for a web page. You need to know web safe colors and remembering that monitor resolution is different for all computers. Knowing this will help in chosing your image, text and colors for you web page. Knowing the different file formats, GIF, JPEG or PNG and when to use them. The file size of images is important, the larger the file size the longer it takes for the image to appear on the browser page. Image maps I thought were rather interesting, it is used often on web pages .

Chapter 12 discusses choosing the appropriate stye font. Fonts can be proportional or monospaced. Readability and legibility must always be considered.
