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

Yesterday, I learned about how color theory and web design go together. If the color and color scheme don't match or look good together, the whole website can be thrown off. I learned about how color blind people see certain colors and how there can be difficulty with seeing certain colors, especially on the internet. Also, I learned about how different colors go together and can make certain layouts and make the website look good.

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 can change an entire website and make it more appealing to the viewer. A website can be improved by the color because it can make the site look more organized, interesting, and decorative. On the other hand, it can also make a site look disorganized and messy and can possibly distract viewers from the information on the website. Color is important because it can successfully or not successfully create an interesting and useful 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.

I learned that there are multiple different types of files and it is important to save your specific works as what you want it to be saved as. For example, a PNG saves it as a an image and you cannot edit it after you save it. There are also many other types of files that can be edited such as JPEG, PSD, HTML, and more.

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 liked the Travel Site! I learned a lot about how to use Photoshop and how to edit pictures with Photoshop. I think knowing how to operate that program can help in the future with building more sites and making improvements to them. I learned how to make the website fit all together and I think I learned lots about how to add features to make it interesting.

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, because the last time I used it was in middle school computers. I would consider myself a newbie. I know that you can edit pictures and apply many settings to them to improve or change the image. Otherwise, I don't know how to operate or work in 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.

A user would interact with my site by clicking on the links and navigating around. My website is pretty organized and I think that the subpages and links are important pieces that make a website easier to work with. It is frustrating when it is difficult to navigate back to the home page, so to make it less stressful, having a link back to home on every page is essential. As long as the website is neat and clear, the user should not be frustrated.

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 sweetheart with one of my good friends Steven Cargin. We went in a huge group with a bunch of my friends. We ate dinner at Gorozos and then went to the dance. I had a lot of fun and had a great time!
