First of all, it was difficult to figure out the color scheme for the college web site. I wanted something modern and hip; but, nothing that was too flashy for a college site. The color scheme I used was very simple, just gray, white, and black; but, that allowed the pictures and text to stand out more than the background colors.

I liked the pop-up banner animation for this site. Actually, both sites' main animations were created with Flash MX. There was no way for me to duplicate the same animation, with sound, as a GIF file. The GIF animations I created are on both sites' second level pages; but, I don't feel that the GIF animations were as powerful as the Flash animations.

The Cruise site was more enjoyable to create; because, I was able to use more of my imagination with the graphics, colors, and layout. Of course the target audience of the cruise site was between the ages of 18 - 30; so, I looked at many similiar real cruise sites that created the wild entertainment emotion that I wanted to create with my Sucka Free Cruises web site.

All of the graphics I used were created in Adobe Photoshop 7, the web pages were created in Dreamweaver MX, and the animations were created in ImageReady, and Flash MX. Designing both of these web sites was very educational; the most important thing I learned was how to create GIF animations, since I had never created them before. In conclusion, this class allowed me to create graphics that I would normally not create, and create web sites that require different thought processes that I normally use.

I created a site for a travel agency and a site for the museum of art in sydney. the site for the travel agency have to give the feeling of traveling and the wish to order a ticket even if the customer is not really sure of what he should do. I chose blue colors representing the ocean or the sea and light yellow and orange colors to represent the sun and the tropical fruits. The faded background pics have to give an idea of the possible destinations and the used slogans should inluence the surfer to get a ticket for a stress free vacation.

For the museum site I used the old fashion style of art. Brown, grey, black and a touch of mixed green-brown colors should give an idea of the old way of presenting newsletters, art and history. for the included images i used old drawings and idian related stuff, like in the time of the cowboys. I think that it was a good choice. The only thing i would like to change is the background of the text.I have to find a way to have an artistic styled background on which the text is clearly readable. It was hard to combine the different colors in a good way, otherwise nothing was really difficult to create. To be true I did let my self go and looked how things changed. That was the way I worked for these sites. I hope they are ok. They are not the big perfect websites. But due to the fact of having many different classes I had to create many websites and had less time as I needed to find the best instiration and precision than i needed.

http://www.geocities.com/anbarragan3/web_graphics/homework.html

I had fun creating these websites, but the one that I had the most fun making was the pets‚ site. I wanted to make it animated and fun, so I used cartoon-like images, made it colorful, and the rollovers of my second level page are my favorites. On the homepage, I decided to remove the logo that I had created because I didn‚t like the way it looked together with the title, so I preferred to just leave the title by itself.
My campus site is not as fun as my pets‚ site, but I like the curves that I used for the design. I think the colors I picked for this site were well chosen, and the design didn‚t break when I converted the mockup into a template in Dreamweaver. However, when I was finishing my final assignment, I realized that I should have had left more space on my second level pages for my third level navigation. It is a little hard to see the difference among the links
In addition, the remote rollover navigation that I wanted for both of my sites didn‚t work as I expected. I wanted to have one space on which all of the 3rd level links would rollover, but during the process of learning how to make remote rollovers, I realized that I could only use that space to rollover one of the 3rd level navigation set of links.
However, I think that by deleting the remote rollover navigation, my websites would work just fine, and they would still be attractive and user-friendly.

Being a novice to web pages when I began, my main focus was to create as many round designs for my sites. I wanted to create one site with a white background and one with a different color background. I thought at the time I was very bold with the color scheme for my pet site, the campus was more conservative.

I enjoyed working with all the different selections of fonts. I really liked the concept of doubling (copying) the layer to make smaller print easier to read. I also enjoyed creating arc text.

I learned that its good to have your designs end at the right column. My pet page has a semicircle at the top and it does not look natural (cut off) in html. I think an improvement would of been if I added another half a loop so the design ended at the corner.

I was very fortunate or (lucky) with my pet page as I did not make many changes to it from the start. The upper right hand corner design of the pet page is my favorite design. I liked how everything looks round there.

The campus page I was always playing with. I tried several different styles with the front page and settled with a large image over the page. I liked my navigations buttons on the site, but it is very time consuming to do each page (as I learned later).

I never used any sources other than image ready and photoshop (and clip arts) for my pages. I did download the trial version of dreamweaver but opted to write html by hand and some arachnophilia.

I am very pleased with both of my pages. I think structually they are very sound. If I could redo anything it would be to add more (different) colors to my pages (I need to enroll in art classes).

I was very pleased to be in such a wonderful web design class. My classmates' all did fantastic work and I learned a lot of web page designs by seeing their work progress.

Thanks Corrine for making this class available online.

http://home.mchsi.com/~sbianchi/Advanced_web_graphics/index.html

I‚m looking forward to designing a new site, like most of us, knowing now the different aspects of web design will make it much easier. This class has been fun but certainly on easy. I learned a lot from each and every lesson. It was a good experience watching and learning from my peers who I think all did a great job. The feedback from fellow classmates and Corrine was extremely valuable.

The colors in my campus page changed drastically. In the beginning, the „A‰ part of the class, the simple red was good but I got bored with it by the middle of the „B‰ class. The focal point also changed because after spending many hours trying to balance the photos, I just didn‚t like it. Inspired by the difference resources this class offered and former students, I gave it a makeover. I like it better now. I‚m happy with the rollovers on this page (Kathy and Kim the „Seal‰ was borrowed from Stanford University).

The second level pages I would do differently without all of the navigation on one side. If there are more than a couple of pages it would be extremely time consuming.

For the optional site, I decided to do a retirement site. I like the colors and feel they are appropriate for this site. The text is a little larger geared to the population served. Wanting to do something a little different I filled the focal point shapes with a photo of a waterfall. This site has a very simple design and it is my favorite.

My campus site was and still is a work in process. It's had many changes since the beginning class. I initially started with a full color site and using just 3 web colors (text, logo, etc.) I eventually realized that all the colors were distracting so I decided to go with duotone colors in the photo collages which matched the web colors of the rest of the page.

The layout changed a lot during the semester, mostly in the placement of the photo collage.

I like clean sites. Although fancy graphics can be really beautiful they can also be a distraction but the intention of the site and can be confusing to those visiting the site. I'm not a real graphic designer so I chose with a simple, clean look.

I focused on keeping things aligned and very logical and simple. The rollovers are very straightforward on the left margin on all pages with the second level information at the top of the page. I kept all the second level pages alike which keeps it simple and not confusing from page to page.

My retirement site was very plain and simpleÝvery straightforward. I had the elderly in mind with this one as not to busy up the pages or overwhelm the visitor. I actually used my grandparents pictures which meant a lot to me since my grandfather passed away mid semester. I tried to keep a lot of white space and soothing colors on the pages.

I did not change much of this site throughout the entire 2 classes. I think the logo was the only thing that I wasn't and still am not real happy with. Especially the placement of it.

Like the campus site, I kept the second level pages all in uniform. However, unlike the campus site, I did change the placement of the rollovers. I took a big step and put the rollovers on the righthand side of the opening page and reversed them but kept the same look on all second level pages. All in all, it's a clean, uncluttered site.

I have taken the first Dreamweaver class -- thank God before this class. I think it would have been much more difficult if I was working directly with HTMLÝit's been a while since I took that class! Dreamweaver was very helpful. I always loaded my pages into Dreamweaver and checked out the links, rollover, etc. It was especially helpful on the last assignment although still a bit tough doing tables and nested tables.

This was a great class, I really come away from it feeling like I've learned a lot.

My two themes were a university and a retirement home. I stole Linda Hemenway's concept almost completely for the university site, because that was easiest for a novice such as I. I used a simple design for the retirement home: logo and title on top; navigation down the left side; photo and text to fill out the rest of the page.

Choosing Linda's design was easy, but the complexity of the page made me learn a lot about the basics behind page design and manipulation, which helped when I began to build my retirement home page. I used the colors from one of the templates that were presented. I stuck pretty much to sans serif fonts throughout. Creating a university logo was fun and my lazy "E" was simple.

The retirement home design was very basic. I enjoyed creating the remote rollovers there. I think I may have made the navigation buttuns too large. Again, I chose the colors from one of the templates presented. I was looking for something cool and peaceful. The logo was chosen with those same thoughts in mind. My choice of the photo for the home was meant to be a bit eerie and comical as was my rollover text. The second pages utilized the same colors, fonts and logos. I did not have the energy to create a unique look for each second page!

It was fun! Good luck to you all. Happy holidays!

Building these web sites was definitely a worthwhile learning process experience for me. I feel I learned more with taking this class then any others I have so far. My sites have definitely changed a lot along the way. I feel I still have so much to learn about design and simplicity, but fell I have made a tremendous improvements.

In my campus site I tried to keep the colors neutral. It has a comforting feel to it. I enjoyed making the collage on my opening page and am happy with the overall outcome of the site. I kept color in my images because I felt they accented the sites better then the duotones in my sites. My main problems I ran into with both sites, is knowing well enough to prepare for each step from the beginning. I felt I wasted a lot of time having to redo layers for navigation. I kept the fonts on the campus site a readable sans, adjusting the tracking and vertical scale, especially when it came to trying to fit in the third page navigation.

My Pet site started off an obnoxious mess! With a lot of toning down and adjusting sizing, I was able to make it a nice looking site. This site was fun for me, I just love the bright cheerful colors. Again keeping full color in my photos to match my site. This one was clean and simple and easier for me to do. I really enjoyed finding and adding photos and watching it really come alive. The pages make me want to go the next page and see what else there is to offer, and see the adorable pictures. And that is the feel I was looking for.

All the work on both sites was done with Photoshop and ImageReady. I controlled my site files with Dreamweaver. And again used Dreamweaver to nest my tables and make my template.

I loved watching my pages along with my classmates transform. All of you have done wonderful jobs. Your sites have been very inspiring to me. This is only the beginning! Next step is classes in design and typography. Look forward to seeing you in classes, and your sites hit the web! Good luck to all!

I'm still not sure what to put here after emailing Corrine, so I decided to put the home pages, second level pages, and templates for both mock-ups from recent homework. I still need to polish the template for the pet site.

For the campus site, I didn't altered much changes because I couldn't think of any more creative designs that I could used to brighten the site. As you can see from my first to last assignment, there's a big improvement of my campus pages. I changed the picture of each second level page so audience know they are in a different page. I added a gradient background around the logo so it stands out a little bit more. I left the background to be white in the template because matching colors in Dreamweaver was hard. Even though I used the same hexidecimal #, color was still different. My choice of colors was first wanting site to look solemn. Later, I realized I got myself stuck in some dull color schemes that I can't get out, so I added some brighter colors to make the site less boring. (I think it still is...( What a shame...)

For the pet site, I had more fun with this. I enjoyed creating the rollovers for the navigational and sub-nav bars in addition to the rollovers to the different pet pages. For the template page, I didn't set up like a working template cause, again, I had trouble with the color scheme. I did changed the picture so audience is more obvious about what page they are on. I think my choice of colors for this site is right on the money. It's attractive enough with bright colors, but not too flashy looking.

For both sites, I had to learn Image Ready to do the slicing and rollovers. Although slicing can be a pain, I'm glad I did because once I jumped over to Dreamweaver to plob the html page in, everything was already in place. With DW, I could easily insert the image I did in Image Ready and it comes out as a html page. That's pretty cool. In doing the template, the biggest headache I got from it was placing the images I created from Image Ready and plotting them in DW without them running down along with the text. I think I acheived it from doing so by creating layers. And times, I can't seem to get DW working if I created images from I.R. I guess I still need to play with DW and IR some more to get even more comfortable. Even my template for the campus looks right, I decided not to do one for the pet site because I'm still having trouble getting the nav bars to stay without sliding down whenever I add more text. I think one can really learn web designing well is through prac!
tice, practice. Whew! I'd definitely will play around with my softwares during the X-mas break.

Hello everyone from South Lake Tahoe! A beautiful day awaits me with up to 2 feet of new snow here on the Tahoe valley floor with more on the way tonight. After I finish this last upload of homework, I will 'don' my snowshoes and slip away into the meadows on the fresh new powder.

Okay, I am procrastinating. The advanced course was a super learning experience in web design. I had never worked in Image Ready before so this was process was fun and I enjoyed learning it. I will be taking Image Ready next semester. However, the most difficult part in the course was the slicing and getting them to work and fit properly. On the campus second page, I also had to work with a background image and then get it to fit properly in the final page in Dreamweaver MX.

The campus site was the biggest headache. I started with the geometric circles and design and later abandoned the idea for a cleaner site and image. I liked the orange, black and gray colors and worked hard to keep the consistency of these on both pages. The logo with SRA was a blend of these colors and I did it in Illustrator 10 using the Pathfinder palette. I wanted to do some innovative designs so used the logo as a flag and then the line tool to tie it to the home button below it. To keep a geometric look, the A in Admissions was separated and a circle put behind it with the colors. After Ray Bernard suggested that I change my main nav rollovers on the second page to match the same color design instead of green, I made the changes. But this is where the greatest challenge came. I kept having problems with the slices but finally got them to work correctly and I agree that the change was needed. Thanks again to Ray for the comment.

Thanks also to Richard Rebischke regarding the URL address for the Home button which I changed. Once I got to Dreamweaver, I made a print screen copy of my campus second page site and used this page on paper to do my table. Then I moved my images in matching the sizes of cells; did the rollovers in DMX; changed out the background for the slice with the body text and in DMX made this the background image and it worked fine. I used the Geneva font Size 2 for the main body text. Other fonts included Verdana and Trebuchet.

The optional site was the easiest to work with. I changed the rounded rectangle to a square rectangle on both pages, which made the slicing easier. The rollovers worked well and were not a problem. The banner was fun to do for this site. Ilso made sure that I picked colors that blended well for the overall site. Overall, I don‚t have much more to say about this one, as it was the easiest to do.

Lastly, I know that when I did the copy of the campus page with border=1, there were some white spaces. But without the borders, it is fine. Not sure why, and am sure Corrinne will let me know. But for now, the snow awaits me and off I go! Happy Holidays to all and best wishes for a New Year!

For the campus client site I have selected a consistent color scheme that I believe works well with the overall design of the site. The I have designed the collage on the opening page using full color images, which work well with the bright color scheme of the site. I achieved the collage effect by working with layer masks created from selections made on the photos in the collage. I adjusted some of the layer masks using feathered selections and the airbrush tool. I designed the navigation to be easily accessible and used alt tags, even on the image maps (I found that this is helpful when viewing with a text-only browser). On the second level pages I used a single page layout style. The second level page example should work very well as a template for the other second level pages. I chose fonts that are readable and fit in well with the over-all design. The fonts I selected include: Garamond, Verdana (sans serif), Times New Roman, and sans serif fonts.

For both campus and pet supply clients I carefully selected layer styles that resulted in good visibility of important navigation and maximized readability of the page text. For the CSS, table adjustments/nesting, and other HTML level adjustments I used Adobe GoLive.

For the optional client site I selected a color scheme that uses natural colors (sky-blue, green, golden, red, violet, white) which complements the sites images well. I chose to divide the navigation into three categories to provide an intuitive user interface. I chose readable fonts and used alt tags. I have further optimized the images for faster downloads, while still maintaining high image quality, by using transparent GIFs where possible to avoid duplicating the cloud background, which is better compressed as JPEG. The navigation on the second level pages is similar, and in general the second level example can be used as a template for additional second level pages.

I learned a lot in this glass and very much enjoyed seeing our class sites progress to a more complete and professional design as we learned new concepts and techniques. I found the CSS review very helpful and I appreciate the idea of using a template for second level pages. This will help me to produce web sites with a more consistent appearance. I feel that this class was very instructive for me and that I have improved my web-design skills.

http://student.santarosa.edu/~preyes/index.html

All in all i feel the overall appearance of the pages is pretty sharp, there is always room for improvments but i feel i am off to a good start. The thing that became the most apparant was the fact that you will need to know wheer the page is going from the beggining so as to save time and effort when building the page so you do not have to go back and rework the page.

Get the expectations and necessary features from the client at the very beggining. Meet with them face to face and ask questions, make every thing very clear.
My travel page should have had a splash page with with images on the home page on it and probably designed to appear like a postcard, that would be the enrty point for the site and the rest of the site wuld have less cumbersome photos on the home page. That would make more room for text and content. I really want to learn dreamweaver to simplify the nested tables. Or by creating larger slices and creating smaller slices inside those slices in imageready and naming appropriatly so the re-rendering of code would be a more fluid process.

I enjoy the difference in the color schemes of my sites and with some reworking will be able to use them on my online portfolio.
anyway, i feel more knowledgable and much wiser as a result of doing these projects.

THanks for your time.

The B class was great experience with learning Rollovers , remote rollovers, some Animated Gif.s plus more.

Doing the class online, is an experience too! I really enjoy the slicing, it neat the way it turns the pages into html. Each week the home work assignment changed some.

Starting with the campus site. I went with ideas‚ from Clear Lake campus as it was close to home, and with the Lake view. I made it simple as possible with a picture that I took of the Lake with the mountain in the background. Clear Lake Campus Web site has a picture of the lake and mountain. It is a different view. But I done it different than that one. My picture has a filter on it. I ended out using soft blue colors with the design of the web site. I used type - Signature for the Logo / with a Drop shadow and Bevel EmboÝ and I used on Antiqua SSi, plus Dauphin for the header, Type for the Links and the information areas are Verdana. The navigation on all pages are easy to spot.
Plus I added rollovers to main links that changes to an white color when rolled over

On the Travel web site, I used the Golden Gate and the colors from the bridge on my Web site. The got the idea from a picture of the bridge in PAINTER‚S Class. The number of passengers using cruise ships are increasing from the port of the San Francisco, traveling under the Golden Gate bridge. My Logo font is Times new Roman, header type is Antiqua Ssi, and Verdana is use on the Links, and the information area‚s. I used white backgrounds for both Web sites.I learn more each time, when working Photo shop and Image Ready. It was a great experience. Have good Day Rickbythelake (:>)

Wow, what an experience this class has been! Lots of ups and downs and an excellent learning experience! Most of my work was done in Photoshop although I used Flash for a part of the Optional Site Animation (I wanted the ball to roll smoothly across the screen and ImageReady didn‚t allow me to adjust the number of rotations in a tween). I also used a little bit of Dreamweaver for the template assignment but only to insert images (I barely know how to use the program!). The rest of the template assignment I pretty much did by hand.

For the campus site I wanted a simple look with a graphic image running down the left side. I also wanted the navigation buttons to show over it. I'd admired the look on another site when I was surfing for inspiration. I wanted the text to be simple, which is why I chose Arial. It's also easy to read. The color scheme I pulled from the image itself. Matching it to web safe colors was quite a task! After trying a few solid-colored backgrounds and a dithered color (and not liking any of them), I decided on trying a gradient background. Much nicer. :) Unfortunately, this complicated the design when it was time to put html text into the cells. I was worried that the gradient pattern inside the cell wouldn‚t line up with the pattern outside the cell. Therefore, I went with a solid color for both.

In the beginning I had some trouble with the site name getting lost in the background on both levels, so I chose a calligraphy font in black, added a drop shadow and an outer glow and ended up with something that looked good and held it's own. The TRC logo needed a makeover. I'd over used layer styles the first time around. This time I matched it to the site name and had a better result. I made yet another logo but haven‚t decided whether or not to use it. It is different.

As for my optional site, it was alot of fun in the beginning but later became a nightmare! My initial inspiration came from an image map found in the Non-Designers book (the sites I found surfing didn't inspire me very much). This site is more "image driven" and so I used fewer layer styles. Again I wanted the fonts to be simple and easy to read so I chose Arial. The animals themselves are the navigation buttons to the other sections but I added some text to help clue in the visitor.

Since there are many straight lines in the building shape, I chose to warp the text of the site name. As far as the color scheme goes, I wasn't sure if it would work or not. I started out thinking about the colors of real roofs and worked my way down from there, choosing a lighter color for the lower building. I had a rough time coloring the shape layers until I finally figured out the right way to do it! :) I didn't like the flat colors for the building or roof so I used 2 different filters: noise for the roof and texture canvas for the lower building. These textures complicated things when it was time to put html into the cells! I would need to save a „slice‰ of the different textures as a background image and then code it into the text cell. Yes, it can be done, but will the pattern inside the cell line up with the one outside the cell. This was the same issue I had with the Campus site. I put a solid color in for now, but I really don‚t like it. Nor do I like my logo. He!
ck, many times I just wanted to start all over and design the entire site differently!

I originally had the animals smaller on the first page so that they'd be in proportion to the building, but then the visitors eye didn't move around the page very well. Enlarging the animals improved this. I also ended up replacing many of my images because they were blurry. On the second level page I added a little cat by the subnavigation to help the visitor identify this page as the Cat Department. I did the same on the Shopping Cart page by using a shopper that I put a black overlay on and made it 50% transparent. I didn‚t want a more colorful shopper image because the page is very colorful already and when I tested a few my senses were assaulted!

I think my background, non-rectangle shaped navigation buttons, and building/roof layers really complicated my slicing and ability to add text in html. I felt „boxed in‰, limited in what I could do with the page. The building ate up too much valuable space

My final words are this, I think my campus site is pretty good and I think my pet site opening page would be good as an image map, but the second and additional levels must be free of the building! I loved ImageReady for slicing and rollovers but the code it puts out (and some resulting image names) is atrocious! Cleaning up the code on the page with the remote rollovers is more complicated because more than 1 image changes. Some of the pages I cleaned up and others I haven‚t gotten to. I think I‚ve shown that I can do it though.

This has been a great course! Happy Holidays! :)

I tried to keep the design of both sites simple and straightforward. The campus site color scheme was designed using shades of blue to make the site both cool and engaging to the visitor. I decided to use a photo collage on the homepage and a single photo located in the header on the second level pages. The header is optimized as jpg medium because of the photo. Next time I do a similar design I will slice the header into gif and jpg areas of optimization. I realized the error too late into the process to go back and slice it again. I did re-do the optimization of the slices I had created for the campus site to reduce the file sizes. They are now down to 16 color gifs.
The retirement site was designed in shades of relaxing green with a little color thrown in on the rollovers. The header is made from a photo of shady lake. The home-page version is slightly larger than the second level pages, but the same image is used to achieve consistency on the pages. There is an additional photo on the opening and second level pages. The retirement site was also re-optimized for the final presentation.
I found working with the ImageReady code a little daunting. Everything is pretty easy until its time to add HTML content to the template. That‚s when the fun begins, as I found out in lesson 7. I learned a lot about web graphics in this class, and, I must say it is a great relief to turn these sites over to the clients.

http://amwnorthbay.com

The main and overriding problem that I have had is that I took the html classes (A & B) 3 years ago, and the Web Graphics A more than a year ago. Also, I lost a lot of the early sites' materials due to a hard-drive failure. But the main problem is that I could not keep the concepts and tools for site building in my mind; in other words---a person (such as me, anyway) must keep-up with these classes in a steadily sequenced train of events or have a terrile struggle to get back up to speed. (no one's fault but my own) I'm not trying for sympathy!---I'm just mentioning this as a warning of what can happen when there are gaps in the process. I mainly have wanted to know how to build sites so that I can do my own for a business I'm planning. I will probably not be pursuing on to get the certificate.

I like GoLive 5 and had used it alot. I still think it will work well for me. But when I tried to build nested tables in it as we were to do---the cells and tables were 'bordered', throwing everything off---even though the code clearly had all table's and cell's specified as "0" border and same for cell spacing. Yes I was 'refreshing' the page in the browser. So I just gave up on that and have presented my final work without the nested tables. On my iMac, in both browsers, the nav bar is not breaking up. The page I choose to have as my second level "template" page is the cruise site's reservations page. GoLive makes rollovers quickly and well, but the remote rollover is very complex and strange; I could not make that work. GL is a lot like Dreamweaver.

I choose a warm corral, deep blue, medium blue, and a tan, on a white background as I thought these were the colors of elegant ships, the sea, and a sunset sky. I had some photos to use that were similar in color and I intensified this repetition of the color in photoshop. So those photos are almost duotoned: very subdued and dreamy in effect. The site's clean lines, sans serif fonts, and simplicity suggest a formality, security, and respossibility a middle-aged or more mature person would find comforting in a cruise line. (not a "party" boat) I used blue and white again as the main colors for my campus site---again marine oriented---a college of marine sciences.
