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

There are many things that I learned from yesterday. I learned that you have to pick colors that go with your topic. I also learned that you can't just pick random colors that you think go together, you need to pick colors that are analogous, complementary, or split complementary. One last thing that I learned is you need to pick a background color that makes everything else on top of it pop.

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.

From the travel website, I learned about two different types of files. I learned that a PSD file can be edited and that a PNG file can't be edited. I learned that it is important to know what kind of files you have saved because it could turn out to be a problem later on. There are also HTML and PDF files, but I don't know a lot about them.

One future websites I will be able to add more information without creating a totally different page in my website. This will make it easier for the reader to understand and hopefully make the website more interesting.

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.

Important functional features that make your website easy to work with are making sure that your website is easy to navigate and making sure that your information is clear and easy to read. You can make it easier for the reader  by checking all of your links to make sure they go to the correct spot and making sure that they work. Also, you can make sure that the information is clear and easy for the readers to understand. This is important because a user might leave your website or not get the correct information if they don't know how to use the website.

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!

I didn't go to Sweetheart this weekend. Instead, I went out to dinner with my friends, and then we went to go see a movie. We saw Ride Along. Also, on Saturday my basketball practice got cancelled, so I ended up having practice on Sunday. On Sunday, I had a soccer game and then for the Super Bowl, I just hung out with my family.
