What idea do you have that is going to make you product website different, unique or unlike anyone else? If you're answer is you don't know - it's time to start THINKING. Explain your idea.

The main thing I am hoping that will make my website different is the display of all the items. I am visualizing to have the front side of the product, but then when you rollover the picture it will change to the back.I am aware that the topic isn't that original, but with the pictures I am also hoping to take my own pictures. Other than that I don't have a bunch of other great ideas, but I think what I have so far is good.

What product have you decided to feature/sell on your product website? Explain why you've chosen this product and remember, the sky is the limit on this project!

The product that I choose was barbies. The main reason is because I wanted something fun and from my childhood, and that is what I thought of. When I was little I would play with them almost everyday, so it just fit. I also thought it was creative and many ideas can spring off of the topic. I am hoping that the site will incorporate the ideas that I have into it really well.

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

The main thing that I learned about color theory is the type of the design, such as the mono, which would just be shades of one color. Another type that I recall is the analogic which is three colors that are right next to each other, but also go together. There are other ones like complement, which is the opposite color on the color wheel. Overall, I learned that different types of site will need the different color scheme and a good color scheme for the website.

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.

Overall color is important because it makes it more appealing to the eye. It can make a reader tune in or turn away. The color can make a website better by adding visual images and highlighting words or phases that are important or maybe linked up. The color of the website can also make the reader stay on the page. It can make it worse by going on color overload and having tons of color everywhere and it just makes the website sloppy and make the reader not want to read the website.

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.

The main thing that I learned was the difference of the PNG and PSD. The PNG is basically something that is saved and can no longer be edited and the PSD can be changed. Other files that I know is close to nothing. However, I think there is a jpeg file or something like that, and then the file that you save documents as, which I don't know the name of. I am not sure, but I think that jpeg could be something to do with images.

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?

When I built the site I learned a bunch of things that I didn't know, which is basically everything that we did. The biggest takeaway was how to use Photoshop and the big components in that. Things that I learned that I didn't know before is the whole Photoshop program and then how to rollover and create the site in Dreamweaver. I can use this in the future because it gives a more creative format to the whole site building process, and I need to be creative.

How can Photoshop be a valuable tool in web design? Explain.

Photoshop can be valuable because it allows you to be more creative with the sites that you make and add things that Dreamweaver could do. Photoshop gives users the option to add designs and different types of layouts that are cool to the eye. Mainly, Photoshop is a more creative thing and gives people different ways to present information.
