Hours d'Oeuvres

Out of the Blue:


For this project, we experimented with color values to make specific combinations of red, green, and blue. They are arranged with a six number (or letter) pattern that looks like this: #RRGGBB. Certain combinations make certain colors, with the higher the value equalling darker colors, an vice versa. They used a unique system that placed values on a range from 0-15, much like how we normally use the 0-9 values. Values 10-15 are represented by a-f respectively. So, for example, #000000 would turn out black, and #FFFFFF would turn out white.



Fontastic

Our goal with this project was to figure out what fonts could be viewed by virtually all computers, as well as be able to name and utatlize all of them. This is necessary because even if someone were to build a website around a font that another computer may not process, it will not look the same. These, however, can be view by all, and therefore are 'web safe.' There are two categories: serif and sans-serif. The serifs tend to look more formal, and include Times New Roman, Georgia, and Courier New. The sans-serif fonts have a more casual look (including one that is arguably TOO casual), and include Arial, Verdana, Tacoma, Trebuchet MS, and the ever popular Comic Sans MS.
