Word of the day is what we started the day off by doing. After completing the word of the day, I began working and finishing my page layouts for my trainers website in photoshope. I have just about completed all my pages. I am excited to show my first client what I have created. :) I learned how to create multiple documents to sort out all my pictures and files needed to put into my website.

Class started off by typing up the word of the day. After word of the day we pretty much had the rest of the class period to work on our websites and or e-folios. Today I learned how to space everything evenly in photoshop by using the grid tool as a guide, I also remembered to bring my flash drive so I was able to look at my key ideas that I had created from home. :) I look forward to this class pretty much everyday, I love to create new things using the web and the computer software.

Today started off slow, I had forgotten my flash drive that contained all my photos I had for the website at home on my dresser. I completed the second page layout for the website though, and it is looking pretty cool. :) We did start class by typing word of the day with typing three words. Tomorrow will be even better when I bring in my flash drive in that has a lot of pictures I am able to incorporate into the website. Overall the class is going good, I'm enjoying the time I have to create my own ideas and learn new things whether that be in class or on a new software I will/am using.

Today was the day, today I started creating the page layouts of my website I'm going to be building for my trainer Mary Sharp. I started working in photoshop creating each page and how it will look when the full web page is up and running. The pages I'm creating will give Mary and idea on how the whole website will look when the final copy if finished and published. :) I learned how to create a group folder in photoshop to move or "copy" my already existing layers into another document so that I wouldn't have to keep creating the same stuff over and over. I am able to copy and paste my layers and start creating new items for the page.

Today's class period started off by me looking into each of my three books on each software I am going to use to create my E-folio for the end of the semester, creating a website and flier for my horse trainers lesson program. I first need to bring in my flash drive that I have all my ideas and past files on at home to class. By using my flash drive I will be able to bring my works that I have done with my home computer into class and put into my E-folio. I also use my flash drive to put any notes, ideas, and again my past works I have created. I plan on creating an animation piece for the website I plan to create just to give the website more pizazz. I want my website to not be boring when people enter it, I want people to interact with each item that is on my website. I also need to take video and pictures of the lesson program just so people have an idea on what goes on in a horse riding lesson that my trainer teaches. I am excited to get to work with creating, but first I need to take pictures and video and bring them in on my flash drive. I added pictures,video, and flash drive on my "to-do" list. :)

The class started off by typing up the word of the day and the definition to the word. After we completed the word of the day, some of us received our books that Mrs. McNaney had ordered for us. :) I have received the three books that I had ordered, the three were: Adobe Flash CS6, Adobe Dreamweaver CS6, and Adobe Photoshop CS6. I am pretty excited to learn more about each software I have chosen to work with,  I'm also excited to begin work on my E-folio. Working with all three software I hope to experience new ways to expand my creativity when working with websites. My plan after high school is to either major or minor in web/graphic designing since I enjoy designing my own creations. I also want to create web pages for people wanting to put there business out on the world wide web. So I'm pretty excited to get started with exploring the three different software. :)

Today I did research, located books needed, and decided on what software I would be using for my designing. I have chosen to use Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Dream weaver, and Adobe Flash as my designing tools for web design II. I'm pretty excited about reading the books I have chosen to read/work out of to learn new ways and tools to create web sites. Also in class we explored on how to use one-note 2010 for each time we have class, for of word of the day. I find that it is a much easier way of writing notes down, rather than using paper and pen to write notes. I look forward to creating web sites and exploring what I can really do when I design.

I never used or heard of blogger before today, I like how it is pretty easy to use. I learned more about how to used blogger by exploring the website for new ways to change the settings of my blogs backgrounds, color, adding people who are able to read my blogs etc. It's pretty neat. I would like to experiment in each designing software to see what interests me the most and what I will take interest in learning more about. I plan on doing some research on each software we use in Web Design II just to get an idea on what each one does and which one would maybe be the one for me to do my creating in. I see myself leaning more torwards Dreamweaver and Photohop for my creations, but we will see after I do some reasearch on each software. :)
