Questions on conventions:

1. What is a convention?
A convention is the norm where a majority of things comply. A convention is not the coming together of a group of people for a Star Wars convention.

2. Why are they useful?
Conventions are useful as they help to build up a picture of what a certain thing is meant to be.

3. Do we use them all the time?
No. Sometimes we break conventions as this makes them more appealing.

4. What conventions are found in web design?
Colums with text - Nav bar - easy to navigate
- information about a certain thing/object
Title to text - Bold titles are attractive.
Describing text - gives information on a certain area - used to describe a picture.
Header along with logo - title for a page and logo of school/company - lets viewers know they are still on that schools/companies website.
