Production: Colour Scheme + Final Header

My group and I chose the colour scheme of black and white for the website because we wanted to be different to other travel sites that we had searched. I also thought that having a black and white colour scheme would help the pictures stand out more which I feel they do. 




I created the header for the website using Adobe Photoshop

1. I went onto WordPress to check the dimensions for the header and created a Photoshop file with the dimensions of 1260 pixels in width and 240 pixels in height.

2. I then changed the background colour to black to fit with the colour scheme of the page.

3. I then imported the logo of the website and placed it on the right hand side of the header.

4. I then imported 3 personal pictures and resized them us using Edit--> Transform-->Scale. I adjusted the images to a smaller size whilst holding the shift key.

5. I placed all 3 images on the right hand size of the page.

6. I then downloaded the font "Lato" from http://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts/ and installed it onto my computer to use on Adobe Photoshop.

7. I then clicked on the "Text" option and wrote out the title of our website "See You There" and the tagline "Be everywhere all at once".

8. I changed the colour of the font to white and added these 3 styles to the text: "Bevel & Emboss", "Satin",  and "Drop shadow". I applied all these 3 styles because I wanted the writing to look as if it was being lifted from the page.

9. I then clicked on the "Move tool" to move the text to the left hand side of the page.

10. I then saved the files first as a Photoshop file and then as a jpeg. to be uploaded onto the website.
