What are three things you learned about color theory and web design  yesterday? Go in to detail.

I learned that the three basic colors that a computer emits are red, blue, and green. I also learned that it's best to create a site that is easier for color blind people to see. Another useful thing is that you can contrast colors to make them fit to your liking.

What effect can a color scheme have on a website? How can it make a website better? How can it make a website worse? Explain why color is important.

Color scheme has a lot to do with the way your site looks. If your color scheme is boring, then you likely won't have a lot of visitors. If you have a good color scheme, then it will will keep your audience interested and most likely lead to visitors staying on your page longer.

What did you learn about file types as you created and designed your travel website? What are some other kinds of file types you know of? What do these different files do? Explain.


The only file types I know about are psd and png files. We learned about them when we created our travel sites. I learned that psd files allow you to edit them, while png files do not let you edit them. If I had tog uess, I would guess that html files lead to a website or online source.

What do you know about Photoshop? Have you used it before? What can it do? Are you an expert? A newbie? Tell me about your background and what you already know.

I don't know much about Photoshop, but I am aware that it is used to edit and configure photos/images to the editor's liking. I've never used it before so I am not an expert by any means. I would say I am a newbie to Photoshop.

Think about how a user (me or anyone else using your site) might function and interact with your site. What are some important functional features to make your website easy to work with? How can you make it easier for the user and not frustrating? Explain why this is so important.


My site is very easy to navigate because you can find all the information you may be looking for or need right in front of you. It's simply a click away. The navigation bar is very easy to get through, and the content of the pages gives all the information someone would need to know about me. It's so important to have a site that's easy to function because people get annoyed very easily. I speak fro experience that when I'm on websites and can't find what I'm looking for quickly, I will exit the site. It's important for the functions to be good to you don't lose visitors.

My Sweetheart Weekend

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!

This weekend I went to the Sweetheart Dance at Blue Valley West with my girlfriend Caroline. In the afternoon I had baseball practice from 12-3 and once that was over I had to rush home. When I was home I cleaned my car and ironed my clothes. I relaxed for about an hour and then took a shower and got dressed for pictures at 6:30. We had pictures at my girlfriends house and then we went to dinner at Hoolihans. Then we went to the dance for about 10 minutes. West's dances SUCK. Then after we went to an after-party and had fun.
