Dreamweaver Chapter 2

This week we had to learn how to add an image to our Website.  For this lesson we used a logo as our image since most businesses of any type require a logo to graphically associate their business.  Again, I am not selling a particular product, what I am “selling” is a service.  I had to think of how I can take this service and assign it a graphical symbol.

I took note of the Professor’s advice that the business logo will be associated with your brand and should be original.   But for this exercise, I created my logo that incorporated part my creation and the other an image of a computer from MS word clipart library.   I like the concept and will build one similar to it, I would eventually like to use Photoshop and Illustrator to create my logo. 

The picture size was 497 x 193 and did not fit proportionately into the default logo box which was 20 x 90.  So in order to make my logo fit, I followed the directions to create a new CSS rule and made the adjustment so that my image will fit.   Web 2.0 has made Web sites more dynamic and interactive and to this end, I will be adding original images to the home page just so that it is not so text heavy.   Again, it is determining what images will work and add to the Web content (person sitting at the computer is so overdone) that is probably the most difficult part of this project.
