IT 111 Week 5 Podcast

The screen snapshot on the left is from the ColorMaker - a helpful web-based tool for picking good colors for a web page or site. I encourage you to use it when selecting colors for your final web site project. It, along with some other helpful sites are linked from the Class Links page on the course web site.

This podcast includes an overview of Chapter 4, which covers colors and images, and Assignment 4. Even though this isn't a web graphics class, I want students to be able to edit images so they look good and download quickly on the web. If you don't have an image editing program like Photoshop Elements or PaintShop Pro on your computer, you can download and use Picasa- a free image editing program by Google. If you're working on a Mac, you'll probably want to use iPhoto instead.

Finally, in order to complete the Chapter 4 updates on your case study, you'll need to get the Textbook Student Data Files from WebCT.
