Next to (or beneath) each thumbnail image, please indicate the filename and file size of the full-size JPEG image that will be displayed. 

It is okay if visitors have to scroll horizontally and/or vertically when viewing the full-size JPEG images of your slides.

• Please display a table of links to all five pages (including a link to the Home page) as we did in our in-class tutorial.  You may display these links as HTML text, or as both HTML text and images, but NOT simply as images without text.  Please make the link(s) to the page currently being viewed inactive and grayed out.   

Use Photoshop to optimize all graphic images in order to minimize page download time.

Always resize large images down to your desired display dimensions before inserting them into your web pages.  Never resize images after inserting them into web pages (except for thumbnails created via the Auto Thumbnail feature).

Avoid pixelated images.  

If your web pages are in a background color other than white, then make the background of all images match that color or be transparent.  See example.

Assign appropriate ALT tags to all images as we discussed in class.  Make sure all ALT tags communicate the function or purpose of the graphic as explained in the online readings. 

If you use the Auto Thumbnail feature, bevels and borders are optional.  However, if you decide to apply a bevel or a border for your thumbnail, you must choose one or the other, NOT BOTH.  In other words, do not apply a bevel and a border to the same thumbnail.  In addition, if you apply a bevel or a border to ANY thumbnail on a page, you must apply the same bevel or border to ALL thumbnails on that page.

When saving your web pages, make each filename a descriptive name that indicates that page's topic.  For example: photoshop.html or digital_imaging.html

Omit spaces from all filenames.  (You may use an underscore instead of a space if you wish.)  

Please post your files to a web server, then send me an e-mail message with a link to (the URL of) your project home page.  Deadline for sending me this message is 5:00 p.m. on the date this assignment is due.

In addition, please submit your files on disk.  If you have other files stored on that disk, then please place your Web Design (FrontPage) Project files into a folder named either Web Design Project or FrontPage Project.  Organize your images, sounds, and videos into sub-folders beneath the directory where your HTML pages are stored.  For example, all images should be stored in a sub-folder named images, all videos should be in a folder called videos, etc.  

HINT:  Organize your resources into sub-folders before you create your web pages.  

I must be able to view your pages -- on disk as well as via the web -- without any error messages or missing files.
