final notes

to change your type characters, highlight it in the image... the info bar will pop up.
"a href" is how to make the hand icon...
align to the grid would be more appealing.
ANTI-ALIAS!!
bigger type in the essays and bios.
rollovers for the works, bios, and essays...
pop_ups should be on the grid as well.
help the viewer see relationships between the articles and bios.. :) force the interaction.
jquery--helps with javascript.

type in the Round

Today Amanda and I discussed how exactly we are going to "force interaction" between the graphic designers, sculptors, marketers, and all other guests. We decided that we will allow them to choose a color, depending on their careers. Then label tables and chairs with colors, so that people will have to sit with people they would never have chosen.

When it comes to guest speakers, we decided to have speakers that relate to at least two genres of people. Fred Eerdekins can relate to sculpture and graphic design. Other speakers can relate to marketing and graphic design.

We are going to encourage our guests to bring their portfolios so that people from all different genres will be able to get feedback that they may never have experienced.

We are both working on ways to bring multiple dimensions to items that are normally flat.

We have to think of other types of typography to include in our conference.

HOW TO CREATE VISIBLE DISPLAYS

1
Highlight the div that you want to cause the action.

2
Click the + under the behaviors tab.

3
Choose the Change Property option, this will allow you to choose an action for your div.

4
Under the Element ID tab you will select the div that you want the action to effect.

5
Change the Property to "Display."

6
If you are trying to show your div, then type the word "block" into the new value bar.


and if you're trying to hide your div, then type the word "none" in the new value bar.

7
My computer sets the code for me, but it says onfocus, which is not what i need.

8
if you want your button to be a clickable button, change onfocus to onmousedown, if you want it to be a rollover, change it to onmouseover. Then preview it and it should work.. <3

package progress




i wanted to reference the food pyramid, because a pyramid is very powerful and sugar is on TOP. I did not want the pyramid to be the main focus,
