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.

Lesson 8

In todays lesson we was told to create a proposal for what we want our website to look like and how we can make it by having a talk with Colin about what we can do. I also made sure that all my blogger was up to date and the research that I had started off doing finish off some of that.
I had to think up what I wanted my website to look like and and what I wanted my website to be about, what contents it would hold and how we could create the look I want for my site.

Lesson 7

In todays lesson we created what we had been doing in the past two lessons but this time we learnt how to create links on our show, so it would navigate to another part of the page.

The link above is what I created in todays lesson with all the different drop down links and the links that can also take you to different parts of my website. This was done by using Dreamweaver.

Lesson 6

Todays lesson we did the same as last weeks lesson getting to grips on creating a website that has all the different panels like headers, navigation, left, right and footer. We added in colour this time so it broke up the sections and you could see clearly what went where and how it would look on a real website. We was given a sheet and had to do it on our own to see if we could remember how to create the site using div tags and the CSS rule, we was given 3 layouts to create all with different sizes to see what it was like using different sizes.
