Cross-Browser
Cross-Browser is when the ability for a website, web application, HTML construct or client-side script to support all the web browsers. The term cross-browser is often confused with multi-browser. Multi-browser is a new paradigm in web development that allows a website or web application to provide more functionality over several web browsers, while ensuring that the website or web application is accessible to the largest possible audience without any loss in performance. Cross-browser capability allows a website or web application to be properly rendered by all browsers. The term cross-browser has existed since the web development began. Also Cross-Browser is to do with different sites such as Internet Explorer, Safari and Mozilla, these are sites used by different types of computer makes so they have their own web page to browse as much as people like.

Cross-Browser is used for different reasons because there three are different browsers used and they have different ways of connecting to other sites because they are set out to be easily used and they can be readable to just about everyone to know how this programme is used.



Here is an example of a box shadow and it works by copying the code from the design of the shadow and this will add it to the document that they want to add it to so the effect is working and has a point to it.
-moz-box-shadow; This is a code for the use of Mozilla
-webkit-box-shadow; This is a code for Chrome and Safari
box-shadow; This is a code for Internet Explorer and Opra.

1 page website-Scott Murray

My one page website blog

DVD Title
Have I met my target audience
My logo design for website
When i was designing my website i had in mind of a younger audience between 15-35 but after designing my website it come to my attention that it would stand out to a larger audience between the ages of 15-55 because of the style of the writing which was popular in the 1980 with such films such as BACK TO THE FUTURE and Terminator all used that style of font but it also had a modern twist to it with the films on shows they are more modern films with a retro style theme and also with the integration of social network links this stands out to the younger audience, I believe that I have achieved to meet my target audience but after designing my website it looks like it would achieve an older audience as well.

Have i made my work Cross browser friendly
I have met this target by using firefox and other user friendly websites, this has made the text understandable by using the same font as i always had been, the fonts used in my website is 'GAME CUBEN' this text stands out because it makes the border look better by fading the text and fading the borders. The links from the videos in my web design play a clip of a DVD that is a new release either of a horror or a comedy.

DVD covers and video links to You tube
The use of content
My use of content is used by having links to trailers because they play a part of a film which is a has been newly released film to give the reader some description of what the film will be and what type of film it is and if its the right one for them, but in the video clip I want to show the the viewers what the film is about and what happens in that precise film scenario. The text used was to give examples of what new DVDs there are and what type of DVD they are as well, this has been used because there are categories for different age groups because I want everybody to have a look at my site and pick from a range of DVD covers. There are a range of titles to choose from which are set in the different style of text that has been used. In the DVD pictures have been animated by placing a border to make it stand out and the picture will describe what is going on in the film so they will know what type of film they are looking at because if it is not what they wanted they could easily switch to a different film cover. The social networking what i used is for the computer and it could be used on a mobile phone which has the apps to access to the socialising applications.

How your website looked after photoshop
My website looked better and more effective because my old website had pictures that did not go well with everything else on the page, this makes it look acceptable than what I did, also the title was well constructed than what it looked like on my first try because the font was readable and it was faded so it made it look like the DVDs were selling fast because i wanted more people to visit my website by viewers sharing my website on such things as applications like Facebook and Twitter.

The links for apps and DVD rating
Software i used for my website
The browser software i had used for my website are photoshop, Dreamweaver. I used these because in photoshop the border was set out to the standard which is used by many other people. Dreamweaver is used because it can use HTML while adding info on the website, also there is a server address called URL and this is used for sites that are spread around the web for others to look at whilst making the site popular which will end up being successful overall. Hypertext is an element in a document which links to another place in the same document or to an entirely different documentyou can also click on the link to go to the Url that the document leads to. 

How i tested my browser
I tested my browser by using Dreamweaver because it gives you a preview of what the website will look like when a new web page has been opened. This gives the impression that you know how it will turn out to be and where everything that has been added will go on the page also how long the page will be.

How i transferred my design onto the web
I transferred my design by using a programme that has x10hosting and also used filezilla to transfer my web document onto the web by going onto filezilla and giving them my user name and password for x10hosting and also open port 21 for FTP.

What my final thoughts were
My final thoughts about my design are that i could improve on the video content and how they work, also i have improved from my last piece of work that i designed was yet a minor priority. Also i had to include a template border for my placing of each part of my website so i was in order but i chose to put different pictures, writing and videos separate from each other so it is understandable.




Design Crowd
I used this website to design projects to learn how to publish projects and design them so we can publish some whenever we like, here are some projects that i had created:
I used these logos in design crowd and published them but they did not win because they were not what the publishers were after.

Prezi project
I had used a website called: http://www.prezi.com/ this is a website that is used for designing presentations online and it works well because there are a lot of people using it at this moment in time.
This is the project i had done for prezi: http://prezi.com/your/, also to record our presentation to get it onto http://www.youtube.com/ we used a programme called: http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/BBFlashBack/Home.aspx

How I used Dreamweaver
I started off by creating the table so i know where to put every picture, video, header, footer and information.
