Hi,
I occasionally work with an other person on web pages,
She does the HTML, and I do the graphics. We are having trouble
in that what I see on my screen is not what she sees.=20
She mainly works with a lap top computer. Recently, she viewed
the work I had sent her on another PC (an aptiva) , and realized
that it look considerably better than on her laptop. =20
Here is my problem. My co-hort thinks we should design for the
majority of viewers (and I agree), but that most folks would have
similar viewing as her machine, and that my machine is fancier
than the average user (and I disagree, I think my PC is just a =
normal PC).=20
How do most html designers design for various users? The more
I re-do to look good on the lap top, the less wonderful the graphics =
look
to me <g> . All the subtle aspects have to be taken out.=20
I want my work to look good to everyone, but is that possible?
I have been working 800 x 600 with 16 bit color,on a Pentium PC,=20
as that is comfortable viewing for me.=20
if you want to look, the below URLs will take you to the work in =
progress.
Comments welcome, as long as they are not too cruel <g>
