Fonts
Descriptions and examples of the three main fonts use the Core Design graphics as well as description of the font used for text and text-based navigation menus.

Colors
Red, white, various shades of gray, and colors with texture fills, including the specifications for "BU Red" when used on web sites.

Dimensions
Overall page dimensions and spacing principles used for various elements in the Core Design components and pages.

Stylesheets
We finally retire the font tag, as the BU Core Design uses Cascading Style Sheets to specify all main HTML element formatting.

Graphical Headings
Description and examples of primary and secondary content headings, content navigation menu heading, and feature region headings.

Form Objects
The Core Design turns those boring old-style buttons and text input fields into styled elements that compliment the overall site design.
