What are three things you learned about color theory and web design yesterday? Go in to detail.
In web design yesterday, we learned many things about color theory. There are primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Primary colors are colors that cannot be mixed or formed by any other colors to make this color. Secondary colors are formed by mixing the primary colors. Tertiary colors are colors that are formed by mixing a secondary and a primary color. There is also color harmony, which is where you are pleasing the arrangement of parts. Everything balances out and flows, nothing is too hard or too soft on each color. And lastly, there is color context, which is how a certain color behaves in relation to other colors and shapes. Like the effect a certain background has on a color, it can be good or bad. You don't want to distract away from the wrong color. Overall, we have learned all about the color theory, but these are just three parts of it that are important!

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.
The color scheme can affect the whole website! I personally know that if a website has a more appealing color scheme, then I would want to continue reading the page. If the websites color scheme is boring, then I would most likely get bored and not enjoy reading the website and would most likely stop. I think that color is important because it can tell what your website is about. There are more serious colors and then more exciting colors. Color personalizes the website into whatever category that it fits into!

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 a few different things about the different types of files while we were designing our travel websites. We learned about .psd files which is where you can edit and change images and also we learned about .png files, which is where you can't change the image and it is basically complete and cemented. I don't really know about many other types of files, but I know about .gif files and I know that they are basically moving images. All files have some type of code in them and they all have to be saved in different ways for them to be efficient!
Types of files:
-.psd
-.png
-.gif
-.jpg
-.html
-.pdf
-.hdr

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?
My takeaway from this travel site was just a bunch of stuff about places I've visited that I didn't know about. I learned some special facts about these places and even about some of their history. I think that how we built this website will definitely improve my website making ability. We learned many new functions and behaviors during this assignment, and I will definitely be using them on some of my future websites. Overall, I learned a lot from doing this website and I think that it was very useful in making me a better website designer!

How can Photoshop be a valuable tool in web design? Explain.
Photoshop can be a valuable tool in everyday of life, but it can also be a valuable tool in web design. Lets say that you need to put an image on to a website, but it isn't just right yet. Well, then you can edit the photo in a way that you can make it to your liking. Or you could also crop an image if you don't like every single part of the photo. Overall, Photoshop is a very valuable tool in web design and in everyday life. It makes that near perfect image to your liking!

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 too much about Photoshop, but I do know that It does wonders in the media. You can make some regular person and turn them into some gorgeous super model. I have used it briefly in journalism when I took that class and also a few times in this class. I haven't gotten fancy with it, but just enough as to crop some images. I know that Photoshop can make someone look completely different than what they naturally look like. I am by no means an expert at it, but I would love to learn how to use. Overall, I don't know much about Photoshop, but I'm definitely not an idiot when it comes to it. I would love to learn how to work it and use it!

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.
Everyone needs to make sure that there website is easy on the eyes. No one wants a website that is so bright that you just can't read it anymore. Also, make sure that your navigation bar is simple. Don't have it off to the side or anything. Make sure that it is in the center and it is really easy to read. These are very important because if you website is not easy to read, not as many people will want to look through it and you will not get as many views!

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!
This weekend I didn't go to sweetheart, but I did have an amazing weekend. Before everyone went to the dance, my friends and I went to my friends house and got all dressed up. We took a bunch of pictures of all of us and then we ate dinner at my friends house. After all of this, we drove up to Park Place at town center and we went shopping and ice skating. Later that night we went and saw the movie, "Ride Along" with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube and it was absolutely hilarious! After the movie, we then went to to another one of my friends after parties of sweetheart and then we stayed the night there. Overall, this was great weekend, even though we didn't actually go to the dance, we all had an amazing time!
