Personal Website

This week we worked on making a website. This website is not live, but it still has links to visit. 

Using DreamWeaver, we created two pages, our home page and project page. On the home page, we had to include our elevator pitch and personal bio. One trouble I had was trying to get the picture to float left and to get the text to follow it. I liked experimenting with the colors when you click on the link. The borders are not very even on both pages, so I'll have to fix that later. 

This is my projects page. I included my favorite photoshop project from Graphic Design and my favorite video that I made in the video rotation. Linking the video to the page was surprisingly easy and the hardest part was getting the butterfly photo and text to align the way I wanted. The borders on this page are very messed up and not centered, so I'll also have to fix that. 

Photoshop Projects

In the first project, I used blend modes and opacity to make everything transparent. 

The butterfly project was my favorite! I used the magic wand to change the color of the wings and the clone stamp to create the effect that the butterfly was fluttering its wings. 

I used the horizontal type mask tool to create the transparent text and the gradient tool (which was confusing at first) to change the color and direction of the gradient.  

In the collage, I used lots of blend modes and the brush tool to fit all of the images into the raven.
