What are three things you learned about color theory and web design yesterday? Go in to detail.
Three things that I learned about color theory and web design yesterday were the different color schemes, color blindness, and the importance of color harmony. Obviously, I knew about the primary and secondary colors and about complementary colors, but I was not aware of all the other types of scheme, such as, monochromatic and analogous. I has never before considered the world through the eyes of someone who was colorblind, so learning about it was a real interesting experience for me. Finally, color harmony fascinated be, just how the colors are perceived when put with another and how the human brain responds.

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 significant effect on a website. Color has the ability to convey and provoke emotion in a viewer. Color schemes that complement each other can really improve the quality of a website. While colors schemes that do not complement each other can hurt the quality of a website. If the color scheme doesn't align with the content of the website this could cause confusion for the viewer. For example, if the BVHS football website was silver and forest green instead of black and gold.

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.
I learned that saving files as the the correct type of file is crucial. In my travel website I would save my Photoshop images as PNG files. Then, I could use these PNG files to create a website in Dreamweaver. I do not know of many any other types of files nor what they could potentially do. I think PDF is a file type; however, I am not aware of its specific function, all of know is that teachers post worksheets to their websites that are PDFs.
Types of Files:
PNG, PDF, DOCX, .PPT, PSD, HTML, JPEG,

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 really enjoyed making the Travel Site. I had never really made or seen a website like that were no clicking is required. Well, I learned quite a bit; I had never used Photoshop, so that whole process was new. I had also never saved documents as PNG files. My favorite part was at the end when I got to put everything together in Dreamweaver to make a final product. This knowledge of how I built this site will help improve creativity and organization.

How can Photoshop be a valuable tool in web design? Explain.
Photoshop can be a very valuable tool in web design. Web Designer can use Photoshop to create and alter images and photos. For example on the travel site, we used Photoshop to make the title of our website. A web designer should have Photoshop in his or her arsenal in order to create a good website.

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 do not know much about Photoshop. I think it is a program used to edit photos, such as color effects and cropping. I might have used it in my eighth grade computer class at Blue Valley Middle School, but that was a long time ago. I am definitely not an expert; in fact, I am a newbie. Hopefully when we start using it I will recognize some things.

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 user might function and interact with my website by exploring the pages that I have created using DreamWeaver. An important feature are the links as they help a user navigate within the website. There is nothing more frustrating than a broken or non functioning link. Another important feature is that all of the pages have a similar format so the user does not confused

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!
I did not go to Sweetheart. Instead, I spent my Saturday night with my family. We ate Mexican food, played Wii party, and watched Melissa McCarthy on Saturday Night Live. As for the rest of the weekend, on Saturday morning I went to a spin class at 68's Inside Sports. Then, I went to the dentist, no cavities! I went to church on Sunday morning. Then, watched the Super Bowl at my Aunt and Uncle's house.
