Media

Within the tag "media" you can define which user agent the style sheet or embedded styles should be used for. There are currently 9 standard media types that are in use:
  1. media="all"
    This defines that the style sheet or style block can be used by all user agents
  2. media="aural"
    Allows webdevelopers to produce a style sheet for speech synthesizers
  3. media="braille"
    Specified in CSS2 for braille tactile feedback devices
  4. media="handheld"
    For handheld devices (typically small screen, monochrome, limited bandwidth)
  5. media="print"
    For paged, opaque material and for documents viewed on screen in print preview mode
  6. media="projection"
    Used for projected presentations, for example projectors or print to transparencies
  7. media="screen"
    Mainly for computer monitors
  8. media="tty"
    For media using a fixed-pitch character grid, such as teletypes, terminals, or portable devices with limited display capabilities
  9. media="tv"
    Used for television-type devices (low resolution, color, limited-scrollability screens, sound available)

HOWTO: Design an Infographic Really Worth a Thousand Words Read more about Template Monster Blog - Part 5 by blog.templatemonster.com

Creating a really interesting, communicating and useful informational graphic is a really complicated task, which requires skills and tons and tons of patience. I have been a witness to when unwise usage of this design technique had caused a splash of negative reactions on giant social media networks such as Digg.com or Reddit.com – which is obviously not what the authors have designed these infographics for. There was a period when anyone thought he could design an infographic, promote it and gain certain benefits. But in fact there’s a lot to think about before actually starting to work on it. First thing whether a web community actually needs the information you’re about to provide. The second problem is about the visual appeal of your graphic. The right correlation between the quantity of information and visual techniques used to present it is an extremely important thing. So if you don’t want to confuse – or even irritate – your visitors please be careful while creating next informational graphic, otherwise it may harm the reputation of your website.
