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

I learned that certain color combinations can result in a different appeal to your website.
I also learned that I am definitely colorblind. Which kind of colorblind is kind of debatable,
but red-green seems to be in my area of being blind. I've always been kind of iffy when it comes to colors, and I wasn't sure if it was because I was color blind or just stupid, but was never 100% sure
I was colorblind until now.
And lastly, I learned how to accommodate for color blind people, making sure that my website is not 100% color coordinated and making sure that the user doesn't have to rely on color to navigate around.

What effect can a color scheme have on a website? How can it make a website better? How can it make a website worse? Explain why color is important.

A good color scheme can make a website appear really good. A bad color scheme can draw people away from the website because it would look awful, or couldn't be read to people that are color blind.

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.

We learned about .PNG, which is another form of image file, and .PSD, which is a photoshop file. Another file type I know of is .GIF, which is multiple images in one file that are played in a sequence.

What was your takeaway from this Travel Site? What did you learn that you didn't know before? How will the knowledge of how we built this site help you improve your future websites?

I learned how to make roll-over images, and use Photoshop. Being able to use both of these will help me create better websites in the future.

What do you know about Photoshop? Have you used it before? What can it do? Are you an expert? A newbie? Tell me about your background and what you already know.

I know Photoshop is a tool used to edit photos. It can do really amazing things. I've personally never used it before, nor am I an expert.

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.

An important feature is being able to click a link to go to any webpage on your website. That way, there is no unnecessary clicking that has to be done. People prefer to be able to get to things by the click of a button, not clicks.

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

I did not go to sweetheart. Neither me or my girlfriend wanted to go, so I stayed home and ate chips on the couch. Eating potatoes while being a potato. I didn't watch the superbowl either, I slept from like 6pm to 4am. My weekend was not unlike any other weekend.
