Task 1

http://www.grenoble.iufm.fr/T3/Java/Didafin4/html/guide.html

If it is a new product they emphasize on the fact that it is new and less on the actual product.
If the product is well known then they just show it.
Sometimes they emphasize on the type/quality of the product rather than the actual product.
Sometimes the character is put in the middlle, stareing right at you.(Singleing you out)
Other times you can't see the character's face because the main focus is on the product.

Primary colors shouldnt be used as much as secondary colors.

A long shot is used so that the characters don't look cramped. You can see their whole bodies.
A medium shot is used when you can see from their waist and up.
A close up shows the shoulders and up on a character.
An extreme close up is used to zoom in on a part of a persons face to create suspense.

Top half of the page is the dominant zone.
Bottom half of the page is the foundation zone.
Left side is the zone of arrival.
Right side is the zone of departure.
Center of the page is the balance zone.

When scanning an ad a persons face scans in a z shape. (top right corner to top left corner to the bottom right corner to the bottom left corner. )

I think its a donkey and cowboy on an airplane. I'm guessing it has to deal with donkeys and cowboys in columbia and then its an ad for columbian coffee on airplanes. I didn't really get it at first and the ad is kinda a long shot, but i guess if you interpert it right it will be fine.

Web Publishing

http://www.webstyleguide.com/type/index.html

Typography is a balance of letters on a page. They don't use HTML(h1, h2) because they make it too big and less subtle. They are narrow for psycological reasons. Times New Roman is most legible. Verdana was created for the computer screen. We take words in by the shape so having all caps is bad because its jst a big rectangle. Use italics for convention on lists and titles. Use bold for subheadings. Underline is used in typewriters where bold and italics arent available. They are used to optimize the font and text. It smooths the text.

Online Safety

http://www.techcorps.org/resources/internetsafety/getnet.htm

1. I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents' work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parents' permission.

i.e. Giving out your information makes it easy for people to stalk you and cause harm to your family.

2. I will tell my parents or my teacher right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.

i.e. Some people should be arrested for the things they say and telling a parent can help you stop preditors

3.I will never agree to get together with someone I "meet" online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along.

i.e. Meeting somone online can be dangerous because people can lie about things.

4. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.

i.e. sending people you don't know pics of you makes it easier for them to recognize you if they want to stalk.

5. I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the service provider.

i.e. information that makes me feel uncomfortable is probably wrong.

6. I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online, and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.

i.e. Following parents' rules makes it so u can get more opportunities and maybe someday get those restrictions removed

7. I will not give out my Internet password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents.

i.e. Giving your passwords out makes it so people can hack you and get your information. Even your bff's because your bff's might not be your bff's tomarrow

8. I will be a good online citizen and not do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.

i.e. Being good online makes it so you can still use the internet.

Online Communication

http://www.inc.com/articles/2004/02/webwriting.html

People don't read every word. We scan. The 3 s's are scannable, short, and segmented. Hard to read italics, mixing too many fonts, and using underlines for things other than links. Having a goal, writing clearly, concisely, and consistently, with details and examples, and no errors. i think details and examples are most important and no errors.

http://www.useit.com/alertbox/teenagers.html

Teenagers apparently need more images and easier words to be able to understand what they are reading. Teen's are good at mp3 downloads, chats, IM, e-mail, etc. People think teens are technowizards but apparently thats not the truth. Teenagers don't like to read especially not on the web. That is true we scan. There are many activities that teens can do where they don't have to read a lot.

Design

I think that the navigability is good. They have all the links on the left side of the screen and you can go from site to site easily.

You can leave comments and contact the editor. So, yes I do think that it is good interactivity.

Some of the pages are kind of long. Over all the pages are a reasonable amount of information.

The links are good so that you can figure out what you need. You can go to the different pages to get what you need.

The page is color coordinated. The school colors are I think black, red, and white so they coordinate with the school colors too.

The backgrounds and font colors don't clash. The font is red, blue, or black and the background is white.

Content

The title is proper. It is the right size and color and says exactly what you are looking at.

There are additional links to things such as the sports teams and the school pages. There are also links to things such as the weather and more.

The information is useful. You can find out dates they have off and more.

A lot fo the information that can be found on the homepage would make you want to go back. Things like the calander are thinks that make you want to go back.

I think that the haslett page is better than the Bedford one. Haslett's page has more links.

Technical Elements

All the links work. Some of the links are better than the others

Graphics are on the pages. They upload quickly and are cool to look at.

I am not exactly sure. All the graphics and text came up.

I am not exactly sure. All the graphics and text came up.

The links open up quickly. Yes you can see useful information within 30 seconds.

Credibility

No names are listed. Telephone numbers and fax numbers are posted.

The pages have been updated recently. They have the updated date at the top of the pages.

Resource links are included. They help you find what you need quickly.

I don't think they say the host schools. I know they have them though.

Total Possible Points = 100 Total= I would give them a 90
