It's Halloween!

Photoshop Aspects

To create this Halloween themed website, we first made design elements that would not be possible with Dreamweaver. These consisted of the gradient background, the animated header, and a little animated pumpkin. the animations were a nice little throwback to e9, because even though I'm not taking an animation class, I really enjoyed animation itself. The background was made using the gradient tool constrained to vertical use and made small so it could be perfectly repeating. The animated title was made using the font tool (and I found this awesome font on DaFont!) and the color tools. That's it. The beauty is in the simplicity. The pumpkin was a little more complicated, drawing some aspects from graphic design and animation to create a little animated image with the illusion that a candle is flickering inside it. Overall the graphic design and animation aspects were a fun change of pace in this class.

Dreamweaver Aspects

This project was the first time I had ever used an iFrame, but it's fairly useful. It is a good way to insert other websites without taking the user off of the current one. I linked multiple websites, including Halloween Safety, History, and some Scary Movies. This was the only real big difference in this project, but it was a fun challenge nonetheless.
