Kathy's 2010 Calendar

I have designed a 2010 calendar that fits in a cd case for my best friend in the world, Kathy. I used pics of some Ziegield Girls that were posted on the "Collage Images" Flickr site (one of my faves!). I think she will love it--I certainly loved making it for her.

If you flip the lid on a cd cover back, it creates a nice little niche-type stand for a calendar.

Third Comp-traditional slider

This comp is the more traditional slider option. Not as much room for text, but if I alternate pics with text boxes and make the small pics links to larger, lightbox ones, it could be doable...I also want to link to YouTube performances within the text boxes....

Comps for 4 fave things

Here are two designs for the 4 favorite things site. Comp 1 has a different layout than comp 2, but the open page shows pretty much the same idea of displaying the pictures/text lightbox.

4 Fave Things options

1. My four favorite male "eye candy" actors (with 2 honorable mentions)

Four Favorite Eye Candy Actors

George Clooney
Clive Owen
Gerard Butler
Alan Rickman

Hot But Too Young
Robert Pattinsen

In Memorium
Paul Newman


I have pictures of all the actors and will write what makes them so scrumptious in my eyes....it will have humor and some reflection on their talents as well as what makes them so sexy....


2. My four favorite women Blues singers

Koko Taylor
Big Time Sarah
Shemekia Copeland
Lou Ann Barton

Honorable Mentions: Bonnie Raitt
Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women

I have pics of all the artists, and will write my feelings about them and what they have meant to me. I will also link to an Mp3 or youtube of them. I will have anecdotal stories about songs and the singers themselves.

About the How-To project

Post should touch on what you learned about web design, the process of working in Photoshop and then migrating your design into Dreamweaver.

Any time I can work in PhotoShop I am happy. I don't mind working in Dreamweaver, as long as it is html. CSS is horrible.....


What went well?
I liked my page design and my concept.


What didn't?
We did not have enough time to finish a project like this. I didn't even get pictures taken, much less all the pages done for a decent how to with all the steps.

What would you like to focus on for the rest of the class?
I enjoy the design process, so that part is always fun. Coding, not so much...

Are there aspects of web design that interest you, that we haven't covered yet?
I wish we could've done more html.
