Introductory Questions
1. My name is Darcy Lee. I am a third-year student majoring in Communication Design, with a minor in Ancient Studies.

3. I have only used HTML in Typography 1, and only for adjusting the parameters of a provided HTML template.
4. I would like to learn how to code my own portfolio website and display images on a screen using code.
5. Designing for paper involves a single set of dimensions, whereas a screen-based design would have to account for several different aspect ratios.
6. The homepage of https://www.youtube.com/ displays its content in a simple but effective way.
Three elements---the thumbnail, title, and creator---are used to describe each video, helping a viewer quickly understand the video's general premise.
Placing many videos into a grid that can be scrolled through exposes viewers to many different videos at once, allowing them to choose what most interests them.
7. https://en.wikipedia.org/ has a very consistent color system (using primarily high-contrast black-and-white, with a third color to denote links to other articles and websites),
which helps readers easily read and understand the function of different pieces of text.
