Dreamweaver

template given
saving as jpeg file
Transfering the photoshop finished products to dreamweaver wasnt as hard as i thought. I wqas given a template for both pages which allowed me to simply insert image in the template to create by website. My page was already broken down into three parts. The header, the main content and the banner.


1st


I opened my photoshop document, went to save as and saved it as a jpeg instead of a psd.


2nd


insert- image - find jpeg file
I opened up dreamweaver opened the document with my template and clicked on the content part of the image, then went to insert, scrolled down to image which then opened a finder where i searched for my jpeg copy of my finished product and click open. It then automaticly pasted my jpeg copy into the template.




3rd


I repeated the same routine for my header and for my banner.

This is my finished website home page. I have added the feature i had created . I have used the combinations of the colours red, blue and white which matches with my title. 

Main Website Page

Before starting my page.  I chose to make the features for the page before hand, here are a few features that will appear on my page.


This is an advert made on photoshop.

i chose this photograph to appear on my front page to promote a clothing company 
i realized that many newspaper had weather updates about their local town. Therefore i chose to make a small weather forecast to appear on my page.  I design the cloud on photoshop. i also underlined 5 day forecast to make it look like a link.

This is my latest news features.. i chose to have a red tab at the top to colour coordinate with my newspaper tit;e


I have kept the fixed feature on this page like the second page of my newspaper. As you can see i used rulers to neatly organize my page, it help as it allowed the columns to neaten up the page. I placed the local weather at the top and made  different titles ready for the articles. I also repeated the advert of the abused dog.
I have taken on feedback from my peers.
I previously didn't have a title for my main article which i now had to add!

i decide to add the search directory onto the second page as it is on my first front page. I felt i needed to have it on the second page too to make it look like it is fixed onto every page of the website along with the different coloured titles on the top left hand corner of the page.

Feedback For Second Page of my newspaper website



This is my finished Second page of the newspaper website:

Feedback:

        Good Points
  • Covered the page well, no blank spaces
  • good choice of colours
  • Photographs are relevant
  • Advert are very well done, and relevant
      Bad Points
  • repeat of advert
  • clothes advert doesnt relate to the page
  • main article doesnt have a title

   This is the main picture which will appaera on  my sports page. It will be the main article on the page representing american football


I am using this photograph as it will make the page look like it has a whole range of different sports including. I also chose this photograph as it was taken at home and this also gives the feeling that it is more personal to the reader as its ment to represent a local star.




With this photograph i will be using it to make an advert for my sports page. It is slightly irrelevant for this page but i have seen that not all adverts are relevent to the page topic. This will be a clothes shop advert.


Step 1
The first step, was working around the fixed features. My fixed features are the title on the left hand side of the page which will appear on every page of the website and also the search directory, which is needed on every page of the website.  My main article on the page is based on the photograph of american football. I made the photo take up a good majority of the page  to show that it is the main articles on this sports page.


Step 2

My Second step was adding the advert to surround the sides of the page and the bottom of the page. Once i had added these advert i realized i had little space for articles. I placed the photographs and wrote in the articles. I had previously seen on current websites that it  sometimes  occurs the they had repeating adverts, so i decided to see what my page would look like if i repeated the freeview advert on the blank space shown in the picture.I have chosen to use alot of green as it is associated with sport/football and outdoor activites. I have used green for the titles and for the online website advert. I feel that this page looks and identifies with other sports pages

Step 3

This is my finished page. I have replaced the search directory with a repeated advert.

For the second page of my newspaper i have chosen to make it a sports news page.
Here are a few researched pages of newspapers sport website pages.










During my research i have realised that they contain a range of different sports other than just football. They also have a lot of advert on the sides of the pages. i chose to design some adverts whcih relate to the sports page!.

 This is an advert of digital tv.
I got the idea from an original Virgin Media Advert Banner.
I thought a digital television advert was suitable for a sports page.
This advert is an advert for an online games website. This is suitbale for the sports page as it is sports related.
I have made a a few changes as to changing the photographs which i had temporarily put up and got from google, and replaced them with my own photographs.


This is when i realized that the font on the title and on the page is times font.
I previously took on feedback and changed the font on the newspapers second page to arial but hadnt look at which font i had used on the front page.

This means i will be changing the seconds page font back to times.
