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

1.Colors all coordinate with each other in order to look more appealing to the eye. For example, blue and orange because they are opposites on the color wheel.
2. You can have different types of ways to get colors that go well with each other on the color wheel. For example, you can have opposites or other ways to have up to 5 colors that all go well together.
3. You cannot make red, blue, or yellow from any other colors but you only need those colors to make all of the other ones.

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 makes your whole website. You need to have something that is appealing to the eye or else people won't want to look at it. It can make it better by attracting new people. It can make it worse if it's overdone and is overwhelming to the viewer. Color is important because it is the foundation of your website. If that's not going well together then no matter what you do, your website will still look unappealing.

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.

While creating the travel site website i learned about png which makes it a picture but if you save it as psd I think, then it's the photoshop file. Pretty much for every program you use there will be a file for it. I don't know specific examples but some programs would be photoshop, word, excel, etc. You can also have a jpeg which saves that file as a picture.
png
html
psd
ppt
jpeg
pdf
exe

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 learned a lot about creating a rollover image and there are so many more things that you can actually do on Dreamweaver that we haven't even talked about already. Having the knowledge about the Travel Site will help me to make my next websites more creative and be able to do more things with it.

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 really know anything about Photoshop. I used it a long time ago for a class in middle school but haven't since the. I think it can alternate pictures and you can do different things with them. I am definitely a newbie. That is pretty much all I know about 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.

Someone using my website would be clicking on different links to get to different pages and seeing a lot of charts with different colors. Some easy things to use on my website are  the navigation bar and the link at the bottom to see more pictures of what that page is over. I can make it easier by make the link at the bottom of the page more obvious. This is really important because the user needs to be able to use your website easily and not struggle trying to find things or trying to figure out how to use it.

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

On Friday, I went out with some friends and just hung out and then came back to my house. Saturday, I got my nails done and went shopping with a couple of friends and then went out to dinner because we didn't go to sweetheart. Sunday, I got my hair done and then went over to my friend Logan's house and watched a couple movies.
