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

I learned tat there are six types of color stiles. mono one color, complement two colors, triad three colors, tetrad four colors, analogic three close colors, accented analogic three close colors and one off color. I also learned that the most common color blindness is just not able to see the difference between red and green. And it is also ok to have a white background.

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.

A color scheme can make a viewer more interested in your website then just a wight one. However if you use colors that don't work together or there are to many color the viewer will become confused and leave you website. If your website is popular that color scheme might become associated with your website. Color adds personality to a website and drawls attention to your sight rather then a plane website.

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.

PNG's are used to finalize pictures that were created in Photoshop for Dreamweaver. I also know that Jpeg's are  for pictures. I don't know much after that, I get files but I never looked at the different kinds too much. I know that only some file types will work in some programs and that you need to convert file types to use in programs.

What was your takeaway from this Travel Site? What did you learn that you didn't know before? How will the knowledge of how we built this site help you improve your future websites?

I did not know how to create a website that moved with out needing to click on anything. I also learned more about things that I can go do in other countries that I want to visit. Websites that I make later will be easier to navigate around and will grab more peoples attention with movement.

How can Photoshop be a valuable tool in web design? Explain.

Photoshop allows someone to create something that is there own. This could save time while tiring to find an image for a website. If an image does not fit correctly on its own Photoshop can help fix what ever problem there is. Though Photoshop is not necessary it is a handy tool to have when needed.

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 love the idea of Photoshop. Thought I did take a class on it, I don't remember how to do everything. I have worked wit it and I think that my favorite part is taking a photo and recoloring it. Though it takes time to make things perfect, I love what the out come is when you do something ridicules to two photos. I do have a background with Photoshop but I need to brush up on my skills.

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.

A website must be simple, creative and memorable. website only works when people understand what they are looking at and ways that they can get back to where they came from. An effective website will not have people question were things are or how to get to them. There needs to be a layout that makes scene and is easy to view. The functionality of a website is very important if people will stay or just give up and leave.
