Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the amount of information your connection to the
Internet can carry. On average, typical telephone lines can carry
1K of information per second.
Banner
A banner is a graphic image (static, animated,
or rich
media) that is placed on web sites as an advertisement. Banners
are commonly used for brand awareness and generating sales.
Bevel
Adding a beveled effect to a graphic image gives the image a raised
appearance by applying highlight colors and shadow colors to the
inside and outside edges.
Bitmap Image (bmp)
A graphic image stored as a specific arrangement of screen dots,
or pixels. Web graphics are bitmap images. A graphic which is defined
by specifying the colors of dots or pixels which make up the picture.
Also known as raster graphics. Common types of bitmap graphics
are GIF, JPEG,
Photoshop, PCX, TIFF, Macintosh Paint, Microsoft Paint, PNG,
FAX formats, and TGA.
Bleed or Bleeding Edge
When a page or a cover design extends to and off the edge of the
paper it is called a "bleed". In print design, the artwork
or block of color must extend off the edge off the page. The artwork
or block of color is then printed on larger-size paper. Then the
printed page is trimmed to the desired size. (add an illustration)
Bookmark
Just as a paper bookmark is used as a reminder of the page you
are on in a book, electronic bookmarks are used to bring you back
to a web site or other site you may want to return to. The Netscape
browser lets you bookmark any site and save the bookmarks in a
file you can recall at any time. Microsoft Internet Explorer uses
the term "favorite" instead of bookmark for the same concept.
Browser
The software used to view, manage, and access web pages by interpreting
hypertext and hyperlinks. The two most common browsers are Netscape
and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Web pages often appear differently
depending on the brand and version of the browser intended to view
them in.
