Brushing Up On Photoshop
I browsed the web for some free photos and decided to use the one above to create my poster. The before picture is what it was like before I edited it to the max. I then went into Photoshop and used lots of brushes, filters, effects and masks and this was my final outcome. I didn't follow any tutorials because I wanted this to be my OWN creation.
Let me know what you guys think :)

http://www.origamitube.com/
Thought i'd post something to do with the new project.
http://www.origamitube.com/
This is a video website with tutorials for origami, the japanese art of paper folding.
http://www.giladorigami.com/index.html
This is an origami site with galleries and reviews of books.
The image on the top is a book by an artist called Satoshi Kamiya. It contains detailed instructions and diagrams for his own designs.
You can torrent the book, but it might be hard to find an english language version. But I recommend it, its complcated but his designs are brilliant examples.

Web Optimize
Although many people aren't at this stage yet but when you get to uploading your site on the internet I found this really useful online tool which optimizes your webpage and checks for errors which Dreamweaver may not pick up.

Worth1000.comDon't know if any of you will find this helpful at all as it's just a gallery and contests site, but it's worth a look anyway seeing as some of the work on here is realy well done.

My Site so far & HTML
I decided to give my site a go, I uploaded it to my ftp to view it in other browsers. This is just a general idea of what I want to achieve, I want to get the aethetics and structure out of the way first then focus on the graphical side of things after. I might remove the button effect because it can get annoying sometimes! I did have a complete different site before but I scrapped that :)
HTML
Some useful links to help you guys with HTML

This will be the site I'll be talking about to the rest of the class, on the 30th March.If you scroll down to "Related Posts", you'll find a link to part 2 of the article.

JWNMedia.com
JWNMedia is a website which provides cheap hosting aswell as free hosting, their customer service is great, Jay (The owner) has helped my set up my domain name with his free hosting in minutes. No adverts too!
Flash Kit Sounds
If your doing some flash buttons and want some sounds with them or maybe a music loop in the background, Flash Kit's sound resourses are helpful, although not the biggest selection they are useful if you cant make the sound yourself. Although the rest of the site hosts a variety of tutorials for various programs, I have in the past, only used the sound resourses because of the quality of alot of the tutorials is not great.
