dc.description.abstract | Different platforms and browsers render text and images differently.
Therefore, web designers should know how to deal with these types of
media. Many web designers use the Macintosh, and the majority of the
users are on the PC.
This thesis project examines the visual elements of web design consisting
of fonts, colors, and graphics and how they change between the PC and
Mac. The two major browsers used by people to surf the web are Internet
Explorer and Netscape Navigator and they also cause problems with
consistency.
Resolution differences cause font problems. Knowing the default system
resolution to specify with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can be a solution.
Gamma and system palette differences between platforms cause color
problems. Changing gamma settings is helpful to simulate other platforms
for image correction. Using Web safe color, a standard for the web, is a
solution for system palette differences. GIF and JPEG file formats are the
most commonly used web graphic formats. If browsers support PNG
format in the near future, designers can take advantage of it.
Testing often in target platforms and browsers and allowing enough time
for any necessary change is the best solution. Test for as many variable as
possible. | en_US |
