So the time has come to put all the elements i have learned over the past weeks into big website.
I began with the flash element as i found this the easiest part to do (being a little experienced) I didn’t struggle with this part much, i just had to remember how to command the buttons to do what i wanted them to do which wasn’t too hard when it came down to it. I was even able to add fades to my pictures to make the transitions between each one a little smoother.
I then began the website side of the project. I found remembering how to do DIV tags the hardest thing to remember well in fact it was remembering the correct size of the left and right containers… even though i could make them whatever size i wanted, i liked the size that was made in the workshop whilst following Mez’s instructions. After remembering this it was back to the easier side of Dreamweaver .. choosing a colour scheme, linking numerous pages, adding my statistic pictures and general titivating.
Then came the hardest part … Photoshop! I decided that the photoshop elements within my website will be the picture of myself edited in Photoshop and also the titles of each picture edited in Photoshop too. Despite my earlier disagreements with Photoshop, it was rather easy. I turned the picture of myself black and white and added “112mc” in the corner with added text effects. I found this part the most challenging and the most rewarding part of the final artefact as it was something i’d never been able to do before.
After adding my Photoshop elements to the website, my titles that i created on photoshop had a border round them when i incorporated into my website as i had a border round each of the pictures. This annoyed me as i just couldn’t stop it from happening and i couldn’t make it so the picture had a border but the titles didnt. But after a lot of tinkering with the script, i managed to get rid of the border around the title and still keep the border around the picture.
All in all i think i was quite lucky with the amount of things that could have gone wrong but didn’t and the website looks exactly as i had imagined when i began this artefact so im rather happy with the end result.
