Tim Berners-Lee   In Web Design we learned about the guy who invented the World Wide Web. This guys’ name is Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Sir Tim Berners Lee is also known as TimBL.

For example, the color code for black is #000000.

Using words and images it can help you convey a message you want to get across people who are looking at your project. Graphics should be able to move you. If the gra
