What are three things you learned about color theory and web design  yesterday? Go in to detail

I learned a lot about color theory. I learned that you should use a color of text over a different color background can make the text look a different color. I learned to use complementary colors or analogous colors or triad colors on the color wheels. I learned about having contrast, but too much contrast can look bad. I learned that there are like 256 color variations that are on the color. I also learned about CSS and HTML color codes.

What did you learn about file types as you created and designed your travel website? What are some other kinds of file types you know of? What do these different files do? Explain.

I learned that PSD files can be edited in photo shop, but PNG files cannot be edited at all so if you aren't done with a photo have it as a PSD. I know some other files like jpg and gif but I don't know what they do. I think jpg is images. I assume I'll learn though.

It can create images that you can use for your website. You can make the image the size you need for the website. You can also edit the photo to add text over it or to make it look better.

Think about how a user (me or anyone else using your site) might function and interact with your site. What are some important functional features to make your website easy to work with? How can you make it easier for the user and not frustrating? Explain why this is so important.

A navigation bar that can always bring you back to the main page or to another page. It's important that the navigation bar is always in the same place. It is important so it is easy for the user to move through the website easily and so the user doesn't have trouble finding a main page. If it is hard to navigate it is hard to enjoy the website.
