Hi Everyone,
I am away today but have left you some handouts to start introducing Dreamweaver. Work through the handouts and if you finish them have a play around with Dreamweaver to start creating some basic web pages.
The files that you will need to complete the handouts are in our folder on S:Drive
S://ICT/IT303/Dreamweaver/Dreamweaver CS3 Files
Good luck and I will have a look at your pages tomorrow in class
Thanks,
Mr Miller

Homework for the weekend (31st July)
Hi Everyone,
Your homework for the weekend if you did not finish it in class is as follows.
You need to create two new Blog Posts.
1. Add a new post and upload your new image created in Photoshop. Write a short paragraph about your image and what you learnt doing this task. What was your favourite part of completing this task?
2. Your second post is to investigate the differences between the following image types:
- JPEG
- PNG
- GIF
What are the differences between them?
Is one better than the other?
What do they stand for?
What does the term 'Lossy' mean?
See you next week!

Image Pathing
Hi Guys,
Below are the instructions for pathing an image in photoshop
1. Make sure the image mode of the image is RGB or CMYK. (Remember RGB for web and CMYK for print)
2. Unlock the layer of the image you are about to work with by double clicking on the layer.
3. Click on the Path tab
4. Click on the button in the top right hand corner of the palette. (It contains three smaller horizontal lines) and click New Path.
5. Select the Pen Tool from the toolbox (The keyboard shortcut for this is the p key)
6. Start drawing your path around the object. Remember you can bend the lines by holding the mouse button down and dragging out the mouse. (If you need to adjust the guides you can press the ALT key to drag them to the right direction)
7.When you get back to the start of your path click on the first pathing point you created. Your pen will show a little circle next to it when you are over the right point.
8. Right click on the path in the path palette and select Make Selection
9. Click on Select from the File menu and choose Inverse. This will select everything outside of the path you have just created (the background)
10. Press the delete button to delete the background
11. Click on Select again from the menu and choose Deselect.
Well done! You have just completed an image path and deleted the background of the image.

Thursday 22nd July - Class Work
Hi Everyone,
I am out on an excursion with the Year 12 IT class today.
There are two things I would like you to complete today in our double period.
1. I have left you work to complete in our folder in S:Drive. Copy the Animal House folder to your M:Drive. In this folder you will find a powerpoint with some instructions and also some other folders containing images you might want to use. Once you have used these images you are free to find some of your own to get creative with a new design. To complete this task you will need to use the skills we learnt last week in cutting out images and working with layers.
2. Once you have completed one of these images, you need to save it as a jpeg and upload it to your Blog. When you are saving it in Photoshop click on File > Save for Web and Devices and save it as a jpeg image. This will bring the file size down so you can upload it to the blog.
Once you have uploaded it, you need to research what a jpeg image is and how they are used. You can use Google and Wikipedia to find out information about jpegs. Include your findings under the image you upload.
I'll be back in class tomorrow.
Thanks,
Mr Miller
