So peeps, this week we got into web design by starting with a few basics using Word and iWeb. I am so excited about this and i look forward to learning more and developing my very own awesome site. HERE is a link to my CSU web space which is a work in progress.
My understanding of FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is that it is a common way to transfer files over the internet from one computer to another. A con for using this method is the security risk as FTP is unsecure and there is no way of encrypting the data. Here is a LINK to a comment i made on Angus' blog (from the earlier group). I found that his explanation of FTP was very helpful and clearly more informative then my own. Thanks Angus :)
Back in 2007 i designed a site (using Photoshop) for a residential builder in Sydney but needed the help of a developer to do all the html for the site as well as making it apart of a CMS (Content Management System) to allow my client the "backstage" access to their website and give them the ability to update the information, create/delete pages and change content whenever needed without relying on a designer or a developer. You can check it out HERE . There was months spent researching web design and competitors sites to see what worked and what didn't in respect to design, navigation, information etc. I designed all the page layouts and all content. Each photo was airbrushed, turning a day shot into an evening shot, superimposed landscaping and removing of unwanted items such construction fencing, shadows, lamp post etc... anything you could do to an image was done in this case (lots of FUN for all u photoshop fanatics). I also needed to create 3D models of the home designs that were not yet built by using ArchiCad and Photoshop. THIS is my favorite model. The whole project was a lengthy process as i had no content and no clue when i began.
Some time back i also started to design a website for my own company using iWeb. This project slowly died as i was flooded with work, which was great for business (and my designer shoe fetish lol) but didn't leave me much time to work on it. Over time i lost interest and it was never completed :( hence my excitement for this assignment!
anyways thats a rap for this week. Cheers

Hey there, thanks for the rap!! I just try and condense the information so that it becomes that little bit clearer. I see you are a fellow skier, (or snowboarder)you should join Eco Active cause there is a ski trip listed on the website. I like you vid of the pacman and penguins too. How did you do that?
