Chapter 13 gave me a few web designing tips that I'm working on. I've never sliced a JEPG or GIF into separate pieces. It makes sense that it would cut down the downloading time. Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to put these pieces back together to fit perfectly in Dreamweaver.

As for the article on how 12 year-olds see webpages in comparison to 16 year-olds, they both view and navigate webpages in different ways. When making a webpage or having students view one, you must think of who the target audience would be and gear it towards their needs. I like the flashy and cool graphics pages and what caught my attention from this article is that flashy and cool does not mean better. These pages can attract attention especially for children. But with all the attention it can lead to distraction for the children’s task.

  1. I agree with you that web sites with animation attract attention. Similar to you, slicing files into pieces in Photoshop as well as creating flash animation are new features I am also learning.
