Stimulus On-Line Prototype

A few thoughts ...

February, 1998

Welcome to the very first, on-line version prototype of the Stimulus, STC newsletter!

With this, as the first on-line version, an attempt has been made to replicate the format of the hard copy paper version. Some image files have been added to ensure this duplicate "look".

Navigational links; providing access to each page, are at the bottom of each screen. For this edition, there are ten pages.

It is important to remember that there are differences between the two formats ie: paper vrs. on-line, and I would suggest that a further look at a more enriched format for the on-line version be taken in to consideration. A few examples of coloured sidebars have been added, and although they may appear rather 'inconsistent', it is hoped that they might convey a variance in style to an all white page on a computer screen. If the colours are kept light, then printing will not be affected. Most, if not all inkjet printers will render light colours in a diffused fashion; lightly. If a B&W printer is used, then the light colour will simply be ignored when rendered.

Some areas to consider might include colour graphics, dedicated pages, HTML templates, and overall "on-line technique" applications.

Cheers!
