Another pointer, if your message is communicating to/or about youth then you may want to switch to a sans-serif font. You definitely need to reduce to text if you are using those space dimensions, and reduce to the font-size too (unless its enlarged in the preview from its original scale). Compositions of postcards use quite minimal text and is normally used to bring attention to images to communicate rather than text, in my opinion. You might want to consider to research other printing scales that are more suitable for your content's structure.

I'm trying to create a homepage where a static image (first frame of the video) will take up the composition, and when the cursor is hovered over a button in the menu it will loop it's corresponding video sequence until the cursor is off the button. So if I had an image of a 3D room, and then I hovered over a button, the image is replaced/overlaid with a video of shapes will appear into the identical 3D room in the image. I've no idea which are the best methods to use but I would have some sort of idea using Flash. I'm aware of basic flash movie clips and using the timeline in the 'Over 'element of a button, but unsure if this is the best method when using larger and higher resolution videos (although will be around 5-10 seconds long each). We are meant to be using HTML, Java and Processing, so if I am able to incorporate these languages into my plan then that would be brilliant.
