Ok, I have to re-design my terrible Graphic Design website for my latest class project. Sounds fun right? Well, to a point. We apparently have to make it at or under 150k though. I want to make it look good but I'm kind of stuck for ideas on how to make a site effective and look good while being so small. Guess that streaming audio file isn't going to happen :p

Ideas? Anything is helpful.

Ok, now let me get something straight this is presumably for a graphic design class, which gives you a diploma, and yet you can't come up with anything on your own? You're hired! This is like walking into a clients completely unprepared and telling THEM to design the site for you. I understand you want ideas and all, but lets face it this is for school, school gives you your diploma. School doesn't give NEOWIN the diploma, they give YOU the diploma. They want to see YOUR ideas.

I understand that you're just looking for help, but I'm tired of posts where people ask for help on pay sites, or sites other than their personal one.

Now on that note, try CSS. Thats all I'll say.

:rolleyes:

I plan on using CSS. I was asking for tips on creating a site that still had good ideas that kept the size down. I wasn't asking for you or anyone else to re-create the site for me, just tips. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my first explanation. I was expecting something along the lines of "...try doing 'this' it looks really cool for 'such and such' and keeps sizing down"

If that is too much to ask, I appologize, but I'll photocopy my diploma when I get it and e-mail it to you if you feel better that way.

Well, look at usability guidelines.

For graphics, but compare the compression ration. gifs are better for greyscale, jpegs for collar, and pngs are all around good choice.

Keep your images 'small'. Make sure the pixel ratio is much less then 640x480.

Use CSS.

Write your HTML by hand. Or use an editor and modify it. Most HTML editors add a lot of wasted garbage. But if you do use word just open up notepad and remove the garbage it has.

    • Elon Musk once again claims Tesla robotaxis are coming soon

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Totally different vehicles. Uber has partnered with Waymo for level 5 autonomous vehicles. Waymo has completed 10 million trips and to date, there have been 696 accidents in 4 years and of those 16 of them appear to have been due to an error by the car. In total airbags have only been deployed 38 times. The technology should always be under review and continued to be improved on, but this is a totally different animal to Tesla FSD PS. no I don't work for them etc. I am an analyst for a market intelligence firm and we have a lot of interest from clients looking at the connected car space for advertising etc. so I have studied them

      But it's not full self driving it's level 2 autonomy. Audi, BMW and Mercedes all have level 3 and make far less noise about it
    • Edge for Business gets secure password deployment for organizations

      By zikalify · Posted

      Edge for Business gets secure password deployment for organizations by Paul Hill Microsoft Edge for Business now offers organizations secure password deployments as a generally available feature, the Redmond giant said. Instead of users sharing passwords on sticky notes or via email to access certain websites or tools, admins can deploy encrypted shared passwords to specific users within their organization. When a user receives a password, it is stored in their Edge password manager and can be used to log into websites seamlessly using autofill. Microsoft has made this enterprise-grade solution available to customers at no additional cost. How it works and the user experience Administrators have to manage the feature via the Microsoft Edge management service within the Microsoft 365 admin center. From there, they can add, update, and revoke credentials for specific user groups through configuration policies. Once an admin has set it up and shared passwords with users, the users will see the passwords in their Edge password manager and can be used with autofill on corresponding websites. The passwords are tied to work profiles in Edge on managed Windows devices to limit their misuse. Further boosting security, the shared passwords cannot actually be viewed, edited, or deleted (unless the website allows), or exported from the password manager. This is a good addition for security because if an unauthorized user gains physical access to the computer, they cannot learn what the password is. Administrators reading this do need to be aware of an important caveat related to developer tools. A motivated user who wants to reveal the passwords can do so by digging into the developer tools, for this reason, you should consider restricting access to the developer tools by configuring the DeveloperToolsAvailability policy. The underlying security and encryption Microsoft’s new secure passwords feature has been built using the Information Protection SDK. The passwords are encrypted and the encryption is tied to Entra identities which lets organizations enforce them without manual key management. The decryption of the passwords takes place at runtime using the same SDK, validating the user’s identity. Availability and getting started Secure password deployment is available through the Edge management service in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Once in the admin center, you should choose an existing configuration policy or create a new one. Inside the policy, go to the Customization Settings tab and then to the Secure password deployment page. To use this feature you must have a Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, or E5 subscription. The feature also requires the Edge admin or Global admin role. Source: Microsoft
    • Am I asking too much? (Gaming PC for sale) no takers?

      Is it though?  I built a new rig a few months ago and it was literally impossible to get one without RGB, but within 10 minutes of setting it up, I turned all that crap off.  It was REALLY distracting, and who needs additional heat INSIDE a PC? It's popular on YouTube for sure, it's neat looking and whatnot, but it's about as practical as a coffee cup with a hole in it. As for the price, a non-enthusiast would just see something priced way above what they can get from a retailer brand new...
