| Q. Why does this site have a red scheme? |
| A. The color scheme was chosing to help viewers be able to see the text without having a blinding effect. The blinding effect would be having a light color background, like white, and having a dark color text. The red and dark grey flowed smoothly and was pleasing to view. |

| Q. Why are icons used as a navigation element? |

| Q: Why was yellow used as a link color? |
| A. Yellow was color that stood out from the background and the text. We also underlined links to give an emphasis that they are clickable links as opposed to regular text. |
| |
| Q: Where were the icons made to match the topic of this website? |
| A. We hand drew each icon on the computer to match the topic. |

| Q: What is the purpose of the "Audio Version" icon? |
A. We believe that that people have different ways of learning. People learn by interaction, by reading, by images, and by audio. When a user clicks the "Audio Version" icon, an mp3 reads the analysis on the page. This accommodates users who learn better by listening.
The link will pop up a new window, depending on how the user's browser is integrated, the audio will either stream in the pop up window or download onto the user's PC. |
