Wednesday was a day dedicated to our A5 assignment. I had played around with Dreamweaver over the past few days to get my head around the basics but now it was time to put into practice that id learnt. I managed to get everything set out and aligned in the right place fairly easily. But when it came to putting text onto the website I found it to be frustrating. The double line breaks every time you press return got to me at first and no matter what I tried I could not get my links to justify across the page as in my designs did nothing to ease this. The website looks ok at this stage (index page) but only if view in internet explorer. For sum reason Firefox stretches the logo and headline.
I left college thinking that the biggest part of the website was up and ready because I got the definitions uploaded and all the links working (I think). But I now know after looking through the site in more detail that there are a lot of things I need to do to create the site I had planned for A3 that’s the plan.
Thursday was a short day as some of our class were gong to a business in Huddersfield with Steve so we were given the afternoon off. I mean sent home to work. I used this time to gather information about my presentation subject Claude Garamond. I decided to print pages and pages of information off, far more than was needed as I intend to go through the notes and highlight all information I wish to include. I think doing the assignment this way I won’t miss anything out that really should be included in the presentation and it will also show my progress along the way which is needed for higher grades.
This week seemed to have flown by but its London next week which I am very much looking forward to.

I am looking foward to London too, it should be a good experience! I have collected far too much stuff for my presentation as well but at least we are prepared!
Yeah I too have tons of information about my guy. The hard part will be to determine what parts are actually important enough to keep. I bet by the time we have removed all content thats not needed then we will have hardly anything left.
I also am looknig forward to London. I have never been there before, and I look forward to the museum visit.
I mentioned this in class the other day, I really like the colour scheme with the green and grey, works really well.
You probably noticed this yourself, but the text under the title is a little too small.
Just stating the obvious!
