Course:
Comm 130
Instructor:
Brother Kerr
Objectives:
Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for a website.
Write content that describes the process of creating your logo.
Design a website using HTML ad CSS.
Process:
I created this web page using Notepad++. Previous to this project I had never
worked with HTML or CSS. After inserting the provided HTML and CSS I went in
and changed things to make them appropriate for my site. I started by aligning
the text where I wanted it to be. I then changed the fonts and colors of the text.
I then added in my logo(which took me a while to figure out how to do) and
finished by changing the colors of the borders and backgrounds.
