GRC 275 Learning and Discussion Forum

Ok for some reason my background images on my other 2 pages are not uploading. Can anyone figure this out? Here's the link...thanks

Hm. I'm not sure what's wrong with it. I have no problem viewing all the background images on my computer. Interesting. We'll have to take a look in class tomorrow.

Otherwise I really like the high contrast look of the site. It seems to be collapsing nicely as I change browser sizes. The images are crisp and clear, but don't interfere with the content. I also like how, on some higher resolution screens, the navigation is sitting outside the image to the right in a nice high contrast black bar. Might be something to create deliberately when you mess around with it for project two. Lastly, I like the use of color as a highlight to pick certain elements out. It really draws the eye to the logo and rollovers.

Just a couple of things to work on. When you do background images to full screen or near full screen, it's best to give them a percentage width and height so they will stretch with your design. As it is, it's a little disruptive to have your navigation clipping over the side of the image on occasion. Also, pick a uniform size for your background images. One other thing, watch how your "About Us" button is collapsing when you shrink the browser, on some it's stacking into two lines. Set a "min-width" in your CSS to stop that from happening.

BTW, nice use of @font-face live type. I like to see students pushing the envelope.

Overall, good work. It's neat to see how far you've grown with this stuff.

I think the black and white images works really well. If all of the images were to fade to black like the first one it would look rad. I like the high contrast of the site. Good work.
