Frickin Image Rollovers!

1/5 days [3hrs] were spent learning how to use Dreamweaver. 2/5 days [7-8 hours] were spent learning how to make rollovers. 1/5 days [3.5 hrs] was actually spent designing the webpage, layout of the page, and making rollovers. YAY, I have the hang of making rollovers. Frickin finally! I have one more day [~2hrs] to complete my web design.

I was frickin excited when I had the image rollovers down. Now that that is familiar, I can complete my design and learn how to make anchors in Dreamweaver and create new pages to link to my index page.

One more day to complete the webpage; day of final, and we have a guest to critique our pages. I’m keeping my webpage clean and simple due to time restraints. No background image, no crazy typography, not too many links. I just need it to look organize and complete. If I have time, I’ll make more pages, links from my thumbnail images to larger images, and may load it on to the web.

Dreamweaver

Ahhhhh!!!!!!! Dreameaver makes my head spin. Dreamweaver itself is great because I do not have to write the codes myself, but designing the art, exporting, slicing and optimizing… I have to revert back to Photoshop and Illustrator to design my homepage as well as learning how to use ImageReady, which BTW has many of the same familiar tools in PS and Illustrator. It took me two hours trying to figure out how to do rollovers and still could not do it on my own. Jocelyn Foye, professor, spent an extra hour after class to go over the lesson with me and I still do not know how to do it myself. There are too many damn steps to remember. At the end of the day [4 hours] I end with… www.csulb.edu/~skong.

One more class to work on my webpage. I have a shit load of design work to do to have a properly functioning webpage…not to mention a webpage that looks sexy.
