In the future, the plan is to link my website to my blog!

Week 16...Another Semester Has Come and Gone

This past week we learned how to make our website live. We were also given lab time on Thursday and had the opportunity to ask any last minute questions. I am so excited to have my Flash project complete as well as my website up and running. Hopefully my countless hours spent in the Steel Plant have been worth it. I am happy with my final products, especially considering how new I am to all of the Adobe programs that we have worked with this semester. Creating my website gave me a bit of a headache, but in the end I was able to make everything simple, consistent, and orderly, which was my main objective. I am happy with my white, brown, and pink color scheme, and I enjoy the simplicity of the design that I created. It's awesome that I could call up my mom today, on Mother's Day ironically, to share with her all of the artwork that I've created these past two semesters that she's been begging to see for months now. Creating my very own portfolio website will allow me to showcase my artwork for years to come; I just hope that I can keep up with my website in the future.

Week 15...Creating a Website

Last week we looked at various samples of websites created by students in the past. I didn't like all of the websites that we were shown, particularly due to color choices, but some of them were very inspirational. I liked the idea of making a HOME link appear in place of the link to the current page that one is viewing. For my own website, I am incorporating that design decision.

During class time, we also learned how to place tables on our web pages and how to insert images. We learned how to save files for the web, how important it is to be conscious of the size of an image that one includes on their web page, and how to open images in Photoshop that were created in other Adobe programs.

I am excited to launch my website, and I hope that I am able to display my artwork in a coherent and professional manner.
