ACTIVITY #2 Look back at the document you created in Activity #1. Notice the font styles used on each web page. Create a textbox next to each screen snapshot. The textbox should show: 1) The number of different font styles on each page 2) The categories of different font styles on each page 20© UNT in Partnership with TEA

REPETITION This webpage shows repetition in the color theme. It has black, white and various shades of gray in the background as well as within the various objects – even in the clothes that the models are wearing. Repetition is also demonstrated by the use of the same font style for all text objects. The icons in front of the list of links all repeat the same size and shape. The software ads in the lower right repeat the same size, shape, colors, and arrangement of text/objects within each group. EXAMPLE Webpage screenshot of Number of font styles used: 1 All text is in a sans serif font. This part is the only thing added for this activity. 21© UNT in Partnership with TEA
