Project Objectives: Develop Your Homepage.

***********************************************************************
Approach:

• Develop how...
First of all, I need to surf the internet to get a CSS template in order for me to have a platform to start my website development. After getting an appropriate template [I choose to use a free template called “Eclipse”], I shall determine how many option I should provide on the top of my developing website in order to fulfil my lecturer assignment requirements. Then, I shall start with the amendment on the free template with content about this assignment as well as relevant images.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Besides, I also need to link the webpage to my blog so that people who view my website can drop me a comment if they got any to speak out. After that, I need to put my contact information in my website so that those net surfers can contact me if there is any problem with my website. Then, I am going to use Flash player to create some flash as addition to my webpage because I am planning to create blinking wording in all the webpage. It may act as the welcome blinking wording to attract people attention and to stay longer in my website.

=====================================================

• How do you plan to put images on your website, layout etc...
I plan to put all my tutorial exercise images as well as my assignment #1 image into my designed website so that I can share what I had learnt and done with the subject, Digital Media, MMB2014 for this tri-mester of 08/09. All the images will be arrange according to the sequence of tutorial which means it will start with the first tutorial output and it shall end with the assignment #1, the merdeka day postcard. As for “About Me” section, I will upload my personal picture onto my design website so that those people who surf my webpage will stand a chance to get to know me better as the web moderator.
***********************************************************************

Roles and Responsibilities:

In order to make this assignment a success, I need to adhere to my primary plan accordingly in order to avoid any unexpected incident. This is a great opportunity for me to learn how to manage my time as well as my lifestyle schedule so that in the future I can apply what I had learnt now. I need to make sure that the webpage I design and develop according to the requirement by my lecturer as well as my tutor as that I won’t out of the topic and the guideline of this assignment #2.

Comment:

After a few attempt on design and develop the template that I choose, I found out that it is a hard job at the beginning of the process as I am just a fresh person to the world of “Dreamweaver”. But after the whole process of learning as well as applying, I found out that it is actually depends on the person who doing this assignment whether you willing to face the difficulty and challenge or you choose to hide from this responsibility. If you are here to take this job up, you may end up with learn quite a lot of new things as well as making a lot of fun in the learning process. But if you choose to get rid of it, you may only end up with paying someone to perform the task for you and you learn nothing after all. Thank you to Mdm. Lydia for your kind guidance throughout the whole course.

All of us were asked to prepare a project charter before we start with our assignment 1 and the following is the content of the PROJECT CHARTER that i prepare last time.

Comeon!~ Shall I Start with My Postcard now?? :)

~Original Picture~ Image 0007!~

Cut off the firework from Image 0009 by using the "Lasso Tool" as i need it to "decorate" my background image later on~

Ta lang~ After added onto my background image, do several border editing with "Eraser Tool" in order to make it fit into my image.

Here we come with another firework!~ With the same technique and method~~

Cut off the Bolehland Flag, again with the help of "Lasso Tool"~ This is for me to deco my background building later on!~

See!~ By using the "Switch Between Free Transform and Wrap Modes" tools[which require user to drag, pull or push =p], i manage to "fix" our national flag ngam ngam into one of the twin tower building corner.

HoHoHo...applying the same technique to fix another flag onto the building wall~~

Talang~~ I had finished fixing all the flag onto the building accordingly. [Not random apply] If you look at the clearly, you may discover that i fix it alternately with one row of window and follow by one flag~

Open up the image 0001 and drag and put it onto my background image. I am trying to use this image as special effect underneath my background image's National flag.

Then, I am trying to adjust its position and by using the "Switch Between Free Transform and Warp Modes", i manage to apply it accordingly to the size of national flag.

Isn't it?~~

Applying the "Gradient Overlay" in order to add in some special effect onto the additional image. I am adjusting the current layer level as well as the underlying layer.

Talang~~ After a few attempts with trial and error!~

Okay, now i am going to add in some text as invitation to the countdown of Merdeka Celebration at Petronas Twin Towers there. By applying what i had learnt during the tutorial time, i manage to get my wordings with some special effect such as "Drop Shadow" and "Bevel and Emboss".
