Production Diary 3

Recently I have been using Adobe Photoshop CS5 to create components I will be using in my website. Initially i created my own header, footer and navbar using a strict colour scheme. I have created all of these parts using a width of 960 pixels, I have done this because that is the width used online for all websites, if my website was any wider than this i would have to use a side scroll bar along the bottom, this would make my side harder to read and much less organised. Over review week I have been working on my character profile page, which is now completed. On this page I have included thumbnails for 10 actors; I have put a stroke over these images to make them more fluent with my design. These thumbnails will be active links to other pages, which include further information on the actors.

Production Diary 2

Over the past week I have learned about what HTML, XHTML, CSS and other things used in web authoring and written a report on them. I have also learned about web 2.0 and the W3C and their roles in the World Wide Web today. I also have learned how to use the programme Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, and how to create different features which go into the production of a good website. I have learned how to create website using either the design view or in HTML view, however I have decided that I am going to use the design view as I find it to be a much more effective method of creating a website.

Production Diary

Over the past few weeks I have learned a lot about what goes into the creation of a good web site, I have analyzed a very popular website and I learned a lot from doing that. I believe that I have a good enough knowledge of the subject to begin to create my own website. So far I have thought of five different ideas for websites. I then cut that down to the idea that I found to be the best. MachoMen films is the name of my web idea, this website will be an actor profiling and film review website, I have thought deeply into the construction and creation of my website and I am now confident with my ideas. I have done a SWOT analysis of my idea; I also received good feedback and some useful tips and new ideas to include on my site.
