Photoshop makes dreams come true.

Please visit my website at www.cs.trinity.edu/~llozano!

I hope you enjoy the site, I put a lot of time and effort into it and went through many "rough drafts" of layout designs until I found one that I liked. To create the site, I used Expression Web to write the HTML code(and adjusted my picture sizes by hand and re-coded the dimensions). I'm most proud of my home page because I think the design was able to be most controlled here, and I like how it turned out simple, but eye-catching. Furthermore, it is the page that kicks off the whole site! If I could have changed anything, I would probably have done my fonts in another manner that was easier. I reality, I used photoshop to create the text captions, saved them as a picture and imported each section onto my page. My biggest technical challenge was struggling with Photoshop to get it to do what I wanted. I wasn't as savvy with the program as I originally thought. Oh, shoutout to Erin Dooley! - she helped me figure out how to finally get different aspects of the program to work how I wanted them to. My website wouldn't have looked nearly as good without her Photoshop help. My bniggest design challenge was figuring out how to design a navigation bar that I liked and looks simple, classy, and cute. I'll probably show my site to people who want to see my photography, or to people who want my help in creating a site for themselves. I don't know if I will make another website in the future for class, but now that I know how, I am helping a family member make one for a business they have over the summer.

  1. WOW. You, Larissa Lozano, are good at this!!! Although I could already tell from sitting next to you in class...you can really see the time and effort put into, and my goodness did it pay off! I love your navbar logo/design/whatever it is, it really gives your website a little flavor (flava?)

    how you convey your wonderfulness in html code successfully is beyond me.

    good job :)
