Class 3 - Homework Assignment

Hello everyone,

This wasn't so easy, but I imagine it becomes so with time and practice. A few things I couldn't figure out were:

1. How to get a background image on a dropdown box (applies to the Home City dropdown form in the Blackbook design.
2. How to use a magnifying glass for the submit button (in the search form for music videos in the MTV design comp)...perhaps this is clipart that was put in...still not sure how to do this though.
3. I still can't get the colors exactly right...perhaps they are shades of colors, but I'm not quite sure how to play around with that to change them.
   

One thing I learned when looking for a style for the checkbox icon in the Blackbook design ("I'm going here") is that the screenshot must have been taken from Safari/a Mac, as these checkboxes display differently in different browsers - I don't think it's possible to make it look the same in Firefox/IE unless perhaps viewing on a Mac - still not sure. I checked this in Firefox as I was working on it, so it looks best in that, pretty similar in Safari and not so great in IE:(.
