So final project time begins. I would have done this sooner, but I had a final paper due in World Religions that was a lot tougher. That took too much time. I started work tonight on the basic template. It took me a while to figure out the colors and how to use my base image (the grass). On the advice of my trusted web design mentor Ryan I used Photoshop to "cutout" the four most prominent colors from the photo and used those as my color selection. I faded the middle column to have a nice light background on which to write. Then I worked on the title image and nav. This took to pretty late, so I wrapped up.
