Midterm Part 3 - Megan McFadden

A: I chose to do a table that summarizes the different coloring characteristics seen in the four different coats found in Aussies. It helps the user to visualize the different characteristics easier.

B: I worked with the border so it is kind of like a vertical chart. I removed the border above and below the row, but kept the left and right borders to create a distinct column.

C: I chose a video that summarizes Australian Shepherds and shows them in action. I wanted to use Animal Planets "Dogs 101" on Australian Shepherds, but YouTube disabled imbedding on that video. I believe viewing the video requires a Flash Plug-in.

D: View my site here

a) The data is well-ordered in centered columns under bold headings. Sans-serif type allows easier recognition of the smaller data contained in the table.

b) I chose a light background for the main data shown, using alternating row colors. The info is centered in each cell, with plenty of padding added to make it easy on the eyes. The table headings stand out using larger white type against a maroon background. I also increased the size of the table caption in CSS to give the user a headline of what the table contained. The summary tag provided the description of the table's purpose.

c) The embedded video is current, showing different Apple® devices playing the game. The mp3 is an original audio I recorded of a voice mail I received from someone's confused grandmother. It only supplies comic relief prior to visiting the table page, which contains nicely displayed but dry statistical data.

a. In what way did your table display data easier for your users to view?

It causes a person not having to look in several places of several screens but all in one location.

b. What style choices did you make to improve the readability of your table?

making sure the grid or box is a readable size to prevent staring or glaring and utilize the scrolling option.

c. How did the media you created contribute to the purpose of your website? What plugins does the end user need to display-play?

back to the truck stop theme , and it makes the web site feel a little more alive not only w/the video but having the

flashing and moving images on the you tube link. The end user needs to have a shockwave plug in.

d. Add a link to your web site within your blog posting

Sicilia - mt part 3

1. I placed my table on page two ("fun"). I found it was easiest to use simplified copy when creating a table. Long sentences seemed cumbersome and not visually appealing. on that same thought, I used shortend dates (9/26 vs. September 26)

2. I left aligned the copy. I also used colors that were already used in the website. I also center justified the video as most of the copy on the site was also centered.

3. The website is as much about the city of Waxahachie as it is about Sicilia. That said, I chose a video about the maint street of the town (I also mention the main street in the copy).

Midterm part 3 - Amy Petit

A) In order to make my table display data easier for the user I have included a summary in the table tag and used table headers.

B) In order to improve the readability of my table I made sure there was good contrast between the background and the font colors. I also included a lot of padding on all sides of the content and styled the headers to display bolder than the table information.

C) I’ve included a video about making paella which is one of the wonderful dishes that we discovered while traveling. There is also a sound loop of a Spanish guitar. Both are embedded in the page and link to the source material. I believe the user wouldn’t need a plug-in (but probably a decent internet connection) to view the video however might need Quicktime in order to listen to the music loop.

1.)My table displayed my data a lot easier by using it to highlight important information that others who wish to view so that they may find out how much the prices for each events will cost and also who to communicate with to achieve in reaching them.

2.)the style choices I chose was to make the border color of the table the same light style blue as the background color border to give an overall flow and scheme. However to give a nice contrast I made the top half of the table a darker blue that way it would show more to my viewers making easier to see.

3.)The media I created helped to give the drive of the competition between the consoles that are out today those making it seem more on edge and a more heated debate.
