This project has two component parts:
1/. Taking the images
Of topics you are comfortable with and of an educational nature. Here you shall use your own, or a school supplied digital still camera.
2/. Project 1 (the development project):
You will need to take at least 20 different images. Then you need to digitise the images in Photoshop, showing each image as an original, then the progressive steps you have taken with each image to create a final product. The number of steps can be anything from one to five filters or image adjustments.
There will be at least 20 images to manipulate.
These images will then be digitised as follows:
1/. The original images saved in a folder mmproject.
2/. The first step is to apply a filter or image adjustment colour balance. You will need to do a lot of testing to work out the best final product.
3/. With the final image completed, now resize it as follows:
4/. Resize the final image to 1280px wide - to create the mid sized image (reducing the file size) and saved as the original file name plus an added 'm' before the .jpg. For example IMAGE3.jpg would become IMAGE3m.jpg.
5/. Then resize that image to 200px wide - to create the thumbnail (reducing the file size) and saved as the original file name plus an added 't' before the .jpg. For example IMAGE3.jpg would become IMAGE3t.jpg.
6/. The next part is to (using the provided template and Dreamweaver, insert the thumbnails into the webpage.
7/. The next step is to hyperlink each image.
8/. Preview the completed webpage in the browser F12, or laptops function key F12.
Project 2. The final product
This will consist of a complete web photo album in Dreamweaver. The gallery will be split into a number of themed sections and pages, complete with thumbnails and linked to the large images (200px thumbnails) and (1280px/1400px large images). All the images are to be kept in a separate folder.
