Design Process
For Part 1 of our assignment this week, I took an example from McFly at Project Seven and changed the xhtml and css, added header title and background images, and produced 3 linked pages that should all be valid xhtml and css (though I could not get the image for the css one…). I was concentrating on keeping it simple, sticking to a rather monochromatic color scheme, with just a couple of images to spruce it up. I created three pages instead of my original single page so that I could avoid the scrolling and internal page links.
For Part 2, creating a portfolio, I spent quite a bit of time redesigning my site this week, and I wanted the portfolio to fit into my overall design. So, I created a new page in WordPress and added some special styling (see the commented section about a third to halfway down called “Clio2 Portfolio Styles”) to the main content of the page. As time goes on, each box will have a thumbnail image (as the first does) as well as a brief description of that assignment.
I also decided to add back in an image for the site logo.
