Introduction to the web

The web gives us the ability to break the bounds of 'Space.'

It also helps us control 'Time.'

The ability to control Time & Space are two of the main aspects found in digital as an art medium.

The web is all about interaction and the "journey".

Have you ever read a "Choose Your Own Adventure" books?

Lets try it out.

* Choose your own Adventure

* Web Structures

* Love is Patient

* Sofake

* Send Me Something

* Spider

* One Bit Increment

* Freecycle

* Gapminder

Internet Lingo
the language of the Internet:

* Web2.0 the Social Web, Web 3.0 The Semantic Web, Social Networking, Tags, Links, Embedded Code, RSS Feeds, Servers, Web Applications

HTML

How does it work?

- Head & Body model

- Head contains meta data, the title, and other info

- Body contains the content

- Created through the use of tags.

(b) = open

(/b) = close

to make a word 'bold' embed it between the tag. ex...   Hello I'm Bold

Web page sizes
- the web is measured in Pixels

-- these 'pixels' are related to the actual amount of pixels there are across & down a screen
- the 'Resolution' of images on the web is 72dpi
- the Average MAX size of your web pages should be smaller then 960x620 pixels

Web File Types

JPG - RGB - Photorealistic, small file sizes

GIF - Index Color - limited to 256 color, can be animated, can have transparency

PNG - is the best of both worlds but currently PNG files can only be used in Flash

Work on Project - to be on schedule you should have a folder full of images of your animation by the end of todays class!
