1. Locate three sites for downloading or copying ready-made Web graphics. At least one of these sites should have animated graphics and at least one should have 3-D graphics (no glasses required). Write a brief, yet detailed, description of the graphics available at each site and the URL.
2. Anyone can publish on the World Wide Web and just about anything goes when it comes to page content and design. There are guidelines for writing good Web pages just as there are guidelines for writing newsletters, research papers, and books. Locate three sites that offer guidelines for HTML code, Web page design, tips and tricks, or other helpful hints. These sites should go beyond how to write HTML code and cover design techniques and considerations.
Write a brief summary of the information found at these sites including the URLs. It may even be a "Top Ten Web Design Tips" list. If you do a list please reference the specific page the tips were taken from.
3. It is easy to grab a graphic you like from a page, but are you sure it is free to take? Not all graphics on the Web are considered FREE. With more companies advertising products, artists displaying portfolios, and professional designers publishing pages copyright has become an issue.
Locate 2 or 3 sites that discuss and offer guidelines for copyright on the Web. These sites may be articles from on-line journals, policy from university or commercial Web sites, or from an HTML guide on line.
Write a statement of personal policy for dealing with copyright -especially dealing with graphics. Include the URLs as references for this statement.
