Antiweb Questionnaire Candidate - Ms. Martha Conway
What hardware do you use in HTML production?
1. Mac LC II
2. IBM 486 clone, Windows 3.0. A keyboard on which the 3 generally sticks.
What speed connection do you generally work via?
DS3 -- I have absolutely no idea what this means. 45 megabit, if that
makes any more sense. It doesn't to me.
What do you use to write HTML?
Simpletext or Pico, although vi is the greatest text editor in
the world. Sometimes I start with MS Word.
Why?
Handy. I have some search and replace macros set up in Word.
What graphics programs do you use?
Adobe Photoshop, Aldus Freehand, Enhance
Why?
I have them. Photoshop is the most comprehensive, but severely limited
by the fact you can only undo the last do. In Freehand, you can have up
to 20 (I think) undo's. But you can't do as many kinds of image
alterations.
What audio programs do you use?Why?What digital video programs to use use?
Is MM Director a video program? In any case, I've used that, but haven't
committed to it because it doesn't seem like the web is ready for that
yet.
Why?
What tools are you thinking of using?
Mapedit -- I think that's the name. For clickable maps.
What conversion tools do you rely on heavily?
GifConverter. Sometimes GraphicsConverter.
Why?
They make smaller gifs/ jpegs than Photoshop does. I also use Transparency.
What platforms do you design for?Why?
The standard all inclusive reason.
What screen width do you design for?
640 x 480 plus (trying not to make it too much plus)
What level of bandwidth do you usually aim to cater to?
50K or less. Sometimes I have to go over but I always regret it.
Why?
Myself I hate to wait while graphics load. I once had to read Buzznet
with the graphics turned off. Wow, talk about TeenBeat for Geeks.
What resources have been most useful to you in regards to:
Malcolm Humes. The net in general. Most creative stuff is the stuff
going out there. I also subscribe to Communications Arts, a way-high-end
design mag, far too good for the likes of me. I steal, I'm a thief.
