The Introduction page needs to have your photo, a brief bio of who you are (nothing incriminating of course and not so detailed that psychotic whackos will come after you), and a description of what the site is about (a showcase of the web multimedia elements that you have learned about).

The content of your pages will be filled with the following:

• Compressed graphics and details (gif, jpeg, png) - each might be saved as pdf files
• Animation: SWF/SVG and animated gif's
• Audio Recording: Real, QT, WMP formats
• JavaScript (taken from the sites that we reviewed in class or some other relevant source)
• Slices, image maps, and rollovers
• Flash text and buttons
• Video: Real, QT, WMP formats
• Media Player report pdf
• CSS (For consistent type throughout the site - a much better way to go than large sections of type saved as gifs)

Keep in mind the design aspects of Alignment, Proximity, Repetition, and Contrast. Navigation should be clear and easy to understand to all of your viewers (remember the usability testing results). Any other descriptive text (kept as brief as possible while still getting your point across) that you can think of should be included as well.

Also, don't forget about the validation services that are available. They are sure to be a big help if you wish to adhere to the strict guidelines in order to reach the largest possible audience.
