Journal

Friday 15th, August 2008
Today our group completed titles, a few buttons and backgrounds.  I made 7 titles so far such as ABOUT US, BIBLIOGRAPHY, CONTACTS, GALLERY, JOURNAL ENTRIES, SUNDAY TRADING AND THURSDAY NIGHT TRADING on the software Photo Impact XL.  I learnt how to improve on creating titles, how to work as a team and listen to each other.  I found out Rob Messenger was a person we could contact about all our information and other contacts.  Next lesson I want to work on our website and add the titles and buttons to the website to get ahead and to cut down on how much I will need to put on the website.  I want to find out more about the soft ware Photo Impact XL and Dreamweaver so I can improve on our website.   I think on our first day I went okay and I want to improve on my titles and the way they are laid out. :)

What I created today was flash slide show (using Acrobe Flash CS3 Professional) telling persons not to set up extra trading hours.  I made it by scanning in Danielle’s picture that describes how small businesses feel about Extra Trading Hours.  After that I added some titles and words to describe how small businesses feel up against larger businesses.  Olivia e-mailed a few people to give us information on extra trading hours and tried to set us up with a meeting with some politicians and Danielle continued making buttons and links.  I feel today I learnt a lot more about flash and how to create a slide show on that software, Next week I will try to complete the flash slideshow with some help from Mr. Wright. :)

Today we made the bibliography and the contact us on Microsoft word, our buttons when we put them on the webpage didn’t really work so we tried some other options, and we’re still using the buttons Dani made.  I was changing the title a bit and trying to get the slideshow to work, it didn’t.  Livvy was away, she’s the leader so the others were mucking around.  Next lesson I want the timeline completed, reasons why I made this website and contact us.  This lesson I have learnt how to improve our website and get the buttons to work properly, their suppose to be rollover buttons.  In this lesson I think I did well in trying to get the buttons to work and improving our site. :)

Today we completed the main page; contact us, bibliography and gallery.  Danielle and I were working on the websites and putting the web pages linked.  I feel today I worked hard and worked well.  Next week I want to work harder and complete even more pages. :) 

Friday 29th, August
Today I finished the Gallery, Livvy finished the more information page, Amber finished the about us page and Danni was absent. Hopefully next Friday the website will be finished and you will be reading this.  I hope to achieve a better understanding about the way people work their business and how to create a website.  I had a time limit so this might not be the flashiest website but if I didn’t have time limit it probably have been better than what it already is.  I think today we have really improved and I think the website is coming along nicely.  :)

Today we made the links page and the how we can help page. I think by this week I will complete this assignment by the end of the week.  We are hopefully going to finish it during lunch and be able to muck around with it after.  I really feel we can accomplish this and get a good grade. I am really J about how this website has been made and what it looks like. Any way I am keeping my fingers crossed and hopefully this becomes an attractive site. :)  

Thursday 4th, September
Today we have finished everything but the journals and it is almost ready to go online. Our website is due tomorrow and we made real progress and we are going to finish this project.  While Olivia and I were working on the website Danni was playing and typing up a story. While we were all doing that Amber was absent which didn’t really help us as we needed her journal complete. :)
