each block to contrast and to lead my audience in the right direction. Te frst block
with the title I make the title black and the back ground white to contrast. I make the
second block with image is the biggest block because I think people love images. I made
the arms of the model in the photo to point the audience to the third block. I made the
background in this block black with white text to contrast and draw attention from the
audience. And the last block I added the rest of the information.

Objectives:
Size and optimize an original logo as a png. for a webpage.
Design a web page using HTML to display a logo and content.
Aquire basic understanding of HTML and CSS.
Identify hex colors for web design.
Process:
First, I attached a pre-made CSS document to my HTML. Ten, I incorporate the colors
of the logo to put it on the rest of the page. I found these colors by opening Photoshop
and using the eyedropper tool.I added contrast fonts. Ten I added padding and
margin. I just played around with the size so everything look. Ten, I add a little touch
with the link to make the color look right before you click the link, when you click on
it, and afer you click it. Finally, I added a background that I made using Illustrator. Te
most challenging part of this project is not knowing enough about HTML and CSS to
have a complete control of the design.
