This week was tough…!
Learned a lot about trial and error as I worked on Banner for Global Market banner. Switching between Fireworks and Photoshop to accomplish the animation was especially challenging. Photoshop makes animation easy, but I was not able to get all of thw quality I wanted from my Fireworks design. In the end I had to compromise and I am definitely not happy with the results. I will be spending more time learning how to make the animation work in Fireworks!!!
AACC fall banner came out better than I expected, at least I finally got the tiling on the large banner to work seamlessly, even if it is a little repetitive. It really helped with the small banner not to have to produce a tiling background.
More work this week looking for ideas for the final project. I really like a couple of attributes from several websites, just trying to decide which ones I can practically incorporate in my design.
Navigation buttons turned out to be a multiple trial project. I kept losing my over slices, but I think that is because I was not saving them correctly. After 3 tries, all of sudden I was ablet to get it to work, so in the end the goal was accomplished. Learned a lot about what not to do along the way!!
The articles on domain and web design were really helpful, I have read them twice. Time to start making some decisions on a domain name and to finalize my ideas for the layout and content on the final project website.
