Homework

For homework we went to www.cssbasics.com and read chapters 1-4.  From reading this I learned some basics about css including syntax, classes, and Id's.  Using a selector, an element can be styled.  A selector in css can be used multiple times and different selectors can be combined so that they are repeated on a page.  A class selector in css uses a period while a Id selector uses a #sign.  An Id selector is more powerful  then a class selector and if both are used, the Id selector will override the class selector.

Final designs


The first design I put together in Indesign, Due to many technical difficulties I ended up having to print through Illustrator. I also realized that my image ended up being too big so I had to cut it down a little bit.  

Integration



I started out by adding two large fish to the design. I then added the first masthead. After I decided to change the masthead I took it away and added little fish in the background of the design.

The following is the scanned photo that I used for my project
The next two photos were taken by me and integrated into the design.
