Wk 2 HW: 3 Pantone Color and Chapter 1



The image that you see on left side is my list of 3 pantone colors and their RGB equivalent that would be on my upcoming web page soon.









And the second part of my homework was to read Chapter 1 from Bulletproof Web Design then create the same stylesheet using Ems (page 22).



the CSS code:
body { font-size: 62.5% } /* gives us a base of 10 px */
h1 { font-size: 2em; } /* 20px */
h2 { font-size: 1.8em; } /* 18px */
p { font-size: 1.2em; } /* 12px */
p abbr { font-size: 2.4em; } /* 24px */
#sidebar { font-size: 1 em; } /* 10px */

Sketching HW


The picture that u seen on the left is my first rough sketches.

Before I got there, I wanted to say that I took me time to looking for what i wanted. I want to Google and I use many keys words to find what I look for. After about two hours of researching, I found a website that had what I was looking for. Colin Lewis, his website was what I was looking for.

So, I began to sketch and end up with about 2-4 sketches. But in my sketches that you see right now, is the out come of it.

Let me explain what I'm aiming for.
On the top left is going to be my home page. Where I'm going to explain a little about myself but I'll leave that up to my contact. But on my home page, it going to have about maybe five links so that you can check out what I have done with my work.

The bottom right, well that the page you will be looking at when you have click on my home page. I have the title on the top life while the nav. will be a little over left to the right. For the info. it will be in the space below.

So Till NEXT TIME! BYE!
