Week 5 -- Creating a Cohesive Photoshop Document


This past week, I created three pages of Photoshop documents that all had the same Native American- inspired colored header (light brown and turquoise). Once the color selections had been made, I overlaid the color bands with the heading "midwest soarring powwow" in the Monaco font with a slight bit of shadowing. In the lower color band, I included a subheading containing the categories "the elder," "the warrior," and "the healer." A different powwow photo was selected for each page (200 width, 72 resolution) to reflect the subheading category. I also added a bit of text, again in Monaco, to address the individual photos.

Week 4 -- Dreamweaving and Hair Pulling

Week 4 had us creating an html index page. Per Nathan's instructions, we worked with a basic Dreamweaver template consisting of 2 columns and 3 rows. I inserted my images on the left-hand side and the text to the right. Because I'm unfamiliar with Dreamweaver, this was a basic learning exercise for me.

Week 3 -- Capture the Screen


www.agiftoffriendship.net

Created my new website today. Learned how to capture a screen and move it to my blog. The process is as follows: opened up my blog, then opened up www.agiftoffriendship.net/iweb1. Clicked on the image I wanted to transfer, then pressed shift, command, & 3 at the same time. That command published the image to my desktop. Pressed the image icon on my blog, then captured the image I wanted to transfer.
