Chapter 9-10, 12 (color, resolution..)

I learned about the difference between CMYK color and RGB color. How to change the resolution of an image and also how to change an image to be able to use it for the web. Also when to save a picture or an image as a GIF or a JPEG. I even learned about readability vs. legibility. What font and color is more legible to read than another. Learned about cross-platform fonts, monitor resolutions and font rendering on different platforms. Also learned about but not to sure if i'm understanding it correctly about proportional vs. monospaced type, logical vs. physical styles and cascading style sheets. I not sure really what to make of some of this. But i guess it's all about practice. So will see how it goes.


I don't think it's a good idea to take a digital picture and attach it to an e-mail, add it to a blog or even upload it to their personal web space without making any changes first. You don't know what that files even going to turn out to look like. It could be too big and have poor resolution. And you don't even know if someone else is even going to be able to open it up on their computer.


Some changes you should make to an image to make it web ready: Crop- removing any unwanted background. File size- what ever is appropriate, reduce by saving it as a JPEG or GIF. Resolution- setting it to either 72 or 96. Anti-aliasing- Smoothing out the edges. Resize- resizing the image to make it either smaller or bigger.
