CS3382 - Week Five

How to choose the page layout? The way is think about the environment

• Different computers have different screen resolutions, which may be caused by the monitor, by the display card
• Whole screen showing is usually not the choice. It is because there are always other applications and toolbars here. More large resolution of monitor, more chance to occur
  

Go to TheCounter.com will get the statistic. Currently, the most used one is 1024 X 768

After think about this, need to think about the layout

• Liquid Design: fitting the page by stretching
• Fixed Width Desgin: designer have more control to think how appear their page

Choose which one? Base on the designer and the user
