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.
Color scheme can make a website look better and more appealing to the eye. It makes it better by making it easier to look at and it is aesthetically pleasing. It can make a website worse by having colors that clash so you can't read the words or see the links. Color is important so that people can see what is on your website and not have to strain their eyes.

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 that once a file is a .png it can't be changed unless you have the document it originated from saved as an editable document. Other types of files I know of are .jpg which is a picture, you can put it in photo shop to edit if you want but the you won't be creating the image. Another file I know of is a .gif, I know that these are created from videos and are just a small fragment of that video and is typically only 6-10 seconds long, they also have no sound on them.

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?
I learned how to apply photoshopped pictures to a website. I also learned what and ap div was and how to make it. The last thing I learned was how to use the scrool over option that changes the picture which is like using a link to a new page, but not. This will allow my websites to be better because there won't be as many links for people to click on and there will be some scroll over options.

How can Photoshop be a valuable tool in web design? Explain.
It can help you manipulate photos to better fit your project. It can also allow you to make your own images that you can use to create a website, such as a header or footer to the website. Using it to make those images allows you to make your website really look the way you want it to all while keeping it original.

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 know a lot about Photoshop because I used it for all my projects in digital imaging. I know that you can very easily manipulate pictures to make someone or something to make it look completely different than what it normally looks like. It can cut, multiply, filter, color, and almost anything else you can think of to manipulate a photo. I wouldn't consider myself an expert at Photoshop but I can work it pretty well. As I said in the beginning I have taken digital imaging and used Photoshop for all those projects, I have used quite a bit of all the available tools while in that class to make my projects.

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.
Some important functional features to make a website easy to work with are visible links, I've been on some websites that have links that aren't very easily seen and the only way you know is by accidentally hovering over that link and it's frustrating. You can make it easier by making your links easy to see by making them a color that can be seen compared to your background and by underlining it to make sure they really know it's a link.

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!
On Saturday I hung out with my friends, we watched random videos from the internet and listened to music. On Sunday I went skating down my driveway in my shoes on the ice and watched the Superbowl with my cousins and grandpa. I didn't do much this weekend.
