Week 8- Digital Publication

Today in class we learnt a lot about resolution and the appropriate size and type of photos and graphics on websites. We then began to work on our individual projects. I decided to work on my website. 

My aims to complete my website is to:

1. add content on each page

2. add links between the pages

3. add and resize pictures from photo shop

4. look at layout, font, colour and format

I may download the trial version  of Dream Weaver on my PC at home so I can start working on it. As I believe time may be an issue. 

Week 7- Digital Publications

Today we worked on creating a web page and we spoke up such elements including:

- font

- colour

- layout

- pictures

- links

I found this very useful. I just wish 

Dream Weaver wasn't so expensive so I could use this program at home 

more often. That way I could actually remember the skills I learnt in class easier. Below are my 3 pages I came up with about healthy eating and drinking. I chose these colours as I believe they represent bright and fresh colours which suits talking about healthy and fresh food. I also believe the font stands out from the background colour, which makes it easier to read. This will be something I will also consider when doing my actual website for my art work.

Holidays

I have decided to focus on creating one child's book for now. Although I would love to finish all three books before the due date I know I'd get stressed to the max, have to rush and it wouln't be up to the standard I would like it to be. Therefore, I am going to focus on one of the stories and completing it. If I have time I will try to do two, yet I wouldn't count on it. I have realised how much work is involved in completing just one book.

New steps I must take:
- I need to choose a story
- I need to proof read and edit the story
- I need to make pictures or take photos for each chapter of the story at least
- I need to choose the layout and design I wish to use in adobe indeisgn
- I need to print it all out and bind the book

Week 6- Digital Publications

Today I have decided my steps for completing my publication and have decided what my main publication will be.

I have decided to make 3 children books all in the same design using photos to help tell the story for my publication.

If I have time I wouldn't mind making a video clip and record some of my songs or creating other picture books and i-spy books. Yet, I doubt I will have time in the course, I believe I will continue to set these projects for myself to do in the future. 

The steps I will take to complete my 3 book series of children stories:

- Finish typing up stories and editing

- Put text in adobe design program and start to design booklets

- Take photos to suit story and design layout of the book

- Make final touches
