Designing website to show on projector - help please!


Question

Hey guys,

I posted a topic a few weeks ago about me having to design a website for a presentation and I need it to fit on the screen in the right way and use the projector the right way. I've never done something like this before.

So I found the specs of the projector

Panasonic LB60 XGA

Max Res : 1024 x 768 / 4:3

With that information can someone tell me for best performance/visual how big in Photoshop I should design the site to be used on that projector?

Thank you!

It should work to wrap all of your content in a main div and set a min-width of 780 or so and a max-width of about 1010 or so in the CSS. I hope that helps.

The projector resolution is 1024 x 768. That means the width of the projected image is 1024 pixels and the height of the projected image is 768 pixels. So if you don't want to have to scroll to the left or right you don't want your width to be above 1000px (scrollbars take up space). So in photoshop make your width about 1000px or less. Now if you don't want to scroll up and down don't make your height more than like 700px, but that may be tough to fit all the content in.

Hi Cupcakes,

I downloaded the plugin

It gives me documents at 1020x700

What exactly is the purpose of these plugins? I'm not following it

Is this only ever going to be viewed at a resolution of 1024x768? If not then you're going to have viewing inconsistencies with other monitors. But we already discussed this in the last thread.

Maybe a little off-topic, but learn from my mistakes. Design your website and test it on the projector -before- the presentation. One time I made a design which looked great on my calibrated screen, but (of course) the projector was anything but calibrated and it looked like nothing I intended. :)
