web pageDescription: A web page designed to showcase a personally created logo.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills):I created this web page using only TextWrangler. After I inserted my image, I attached the pre-made CSS document to my HTML. Then, I used compli-mentary colors from my logo to choose the background, and font colors for the headers. I found these colors by using the eyedropper tool under inspect element. I also changed my fonts. I used padding around the logo and text so that they would not be too close to the edge of the web page.
Programs/Tools Used: TextWrangler & Photoshop
Message: Its a explanation of the design process for my logo Miss Ellen Photography
Audience: Anyone interested in design or photography.
Top Thing Learned: The hardest thing for me was getting the header the exact size that I wanted it.
Color scheme and color hex(s): Pink header 2 color:#E8144D. Header col-or:#8FFFFF.
Title Font Families & Category: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
Copy Font Families & Category: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
Changes made to the CSS: I rounded the corners, centered my logo, changed the fonts, changed the colors, and added my website link.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills):Foreground in focus. After setting up this shot, I went into the spot metering mode and focused on the subjects face, since it is in the background. After I made sure I had all the settings I wanted, I focused on her face and took the image. In photoshop I exaggerated the focus effect, by adding a slight lens blur to the subjects hand. This brings more attention to her face. And as with all the images, I completed some basic adjustments.
