Lesson 28

Friday 3rd June. This was our last lesson to hand in everything, our evaluation, sketch book and final website on a CD disk.

Lesson 27

Friday 27th May after this lesson we have just one more to hand in everything that we needed. I looked through my sketch book again and started to do my HTML report and looking at all of the work sheets Colin had given us at the start of the year so I had all the information on HTML that I can include in my report and also print screened examples of what it looked like in text form when its first starting out.

Lesson 26

Friday 20th May meant that we only had this lesson and two more to complete our websites. So i started to write down all of the text that I wanted on each of my webpages and trying to make them not too long as I dont want too much text on each page so that it looks dull and boring and if its not filled with too much text I can put in the odd picture to lighten it up.

Lesson 25

Friday 13th May, in todays lesson I found all of the titles I had created in Photoshop and asked how I could add them onto my webpage. Once shown I added them onto every page and looked at how they looked with the page saw that because I got all the sizes down they fitted perfectly in the middle of the page.

Lesson 24

Friday 6th May our first lesson back since our Easter break. In todays lesson I got onto Photoshop and created all of the titles I needed for my webpages. As I want the scheme to be all the same I made sure that all the font was the same as my main front page and the colours were also the same. I made one for each page.

Lesson 23

Friday 8th April the last lesson before our Easter break. Today I worked mainly on my website, asking Colins help as to how to create the basic layout to each page so I can then add in everything I want to afterwards. I got his help on creating the divs to make a title header, naviagation panel and main text/picture block. Once I had gotten his help on doing one of these and made all the correct sizes I got started on creating this for every other page I needed.

Lesson 22

Friday 1st April this was our first lesson back since coming back from our college trip. Today I concentrated on my sketch book and writing a list down of what needed to be done for when. The list included; making sure all of my sketch book was complete with HTML included and that different parts of my website was completed each week and that my blogger was done or at least written down so I could then later type it up on a later date.

Lesson 21

Friday 18th March; this is our last lesson for two weeks as we have a college trip to Cheddar Gourge next week and the date for handing in has been put back because of this. I concentrated on looking at how far my website had gotten and what easy stages to do next such as creating all the pages and the names to go on top so the viewer can see what page they are looking at and how to have my navigation panel work.

Lesson 20

Friday 11th, in this lesson, I spoke to Colin about what I had done so far with my website, as it was student reviews and he needed a basic idea on how much progress I had done so far, I showed him designs from my sketch book, how far I had gotten on blogger and the process of my actual website so far. Looking through my sketch book, I thought about how much text to put on each page so it isn't just text and dull looking.

Lesson 19

4th March, our first lesson back after the half term, in this lesson I decided to create the sections of my webpage in Photoshop to see what it would look like, how I could split it up like the way I have designed it in my sketch book, I used lines and text to see how much room it would take up with the amount of texts I used, though I never used the correct width or heights.

Lesson 18

In todays lesson Friday 18th; the lesson was split in half, for the people that needed to get on with handing other assignment work in on time they was allowed to do that and select few other people could concentrate on the work for their website. I concentrated on up to dating my blogger and also concentrating on my other work making sure I had done the sketch book for it and printing off all the work that needed to be printed off.

Lesson 17

In todays lesson Friday 11th I completed my sketch book designs on what I want my final idea to look like. Each section of my website I have created in my sketch book and how I want it to look like, the sections I have created are;
About Gemma
About Media
Images; Myself and Interests
Images; Media Equipment
Different Job Roles
Why I picked Media
Opportunities after college
Each of this I have created and now I just need to create in Dreamweaver.

Lesson 16

In todays lesson 4th Febuary we split the lesson in half again, for the people that wasnt in lesson last week Colin recapped what we did and we also got the chance to do it again so that we knew more what to do on notebook. We created paragraphs, titles, and also created a link to the webiste Google, so that when it was saved and we opened it and it opened on the internet it was all set out how we had told it to using div tags. The link we had created also worked and took us to the Google home page.
The second half of the lesson we got to work on our webistes or working on our sketch book. In todays lesson I worked more on my sketch book, creating more ideas I could of had for my website and showing how I developed the one I have gone for.

Lesson 15

28th January, in todays lesson not many people were so Colin split the lesson in half, the first half of our lesson we got on with doing our own projects, I looked at creating arrows to fit onto my website so it looked even more like a spider diagram and how big I would need to put them so that they looked like they was in place and should be there.
In the second half of the lesson Colin showed us how to create an HTML using notepad so that when we saved it we could see the difference on the internet as it went straight there.

Lesson 14

In todays lesson 21st January Colin helped me start create the base of my website on Dreamweaver, as I want mine to look like a spider diagram I had to create different div tags so that it fitted around. My name is in the middle of the page with at the moment squares around it so that when it comes to filling in then it will look more like a diagram and you click on the links to see different parts of information.

Lesson 13

In todays lesson 14th January, I updated on the days I hadn't yet filled in so that I wasn't too far behind on the lessons I hadn't yet commented on. I also did some work on what I had started last lesson on Photoshop with designing my homepage, I created the final look on how I want the 'Gemma Taylor' text to look but haven't decided on the colour as of yet, though I think I will stick with the blue and black background as the blue I have at the moment looks good against the black background.

Lesson 12

In todays lesson 7th January, I asekd Colin for help on designing the website I wanted to create, as this was the first lesson back since Christmas I hadn't done much on the computer yet as I had done more in my sketch book, getting designs ready and research.
I made a wrapper on Dreamweaver to show what size my website will be and what size I have to work with when I create the actual design. In Photoshop I made a background and my name of which I am going to use in my website, I made the text and which colours for the back colour and the text of the colour and had a mess around with them to see what would work best.

Lesson 11

This lesson was the last lesson before Christmas break, I was finishing off my ideas in my sketch book as I had a bad headache I didn't want to look at a computer screen for too long. At the start of the lesson Colin showed us what we could do and refreshed our memories on making Div Tags and then we could get on with creating our websites or finishing off our sketches.
In my sketch book I made more ideas on what I wanted my website to look like, I had one idea that I partically liked and will create it when we come back from the Christmas Holidays. The start of the page is my name in the middle and links coming off the name like a spider diagram.

Lesson 9

In todays lesson, I created a Dreamweaver site and got used to making Div Tags and making sure that they all fit inside each other so the page looks right to get myself used to doing Dreamweaver on my own so when I go to make my own website I wont be asking for help too much. I also got on Photoshop and had a look at what was on there to help me create my website, and also to get used to using Photoshop again so that I could get used to some of the basics.
