Photographers Past & Present
This week we looked at preparing images for use on the interweb and as Nick said it you haven't picked one up make sure you get a copy of Web Standards Solutions and read Chapter 5.
It is important to fully understand how to prepare and save images for the web, if you get into the habit of doing it properly now you won't make an idiot of yourself further down the line.
Design Diary
As mentioned very few people have anything in their design diary and we are already into week two. This is a very important part of this and every other design modules requirements and as you know it is where we look to when marking your work. If there is nothing there we can't mark it.
The issue of plagiarism came up and the importance of proper referencing. In order to help you out we have created an html file with how we would like you to present any material you wish to cite. Feel free to adjust the CSS to fit within your own design but make sure it is perfectly clear which is the referenced material and which is your own.
