Before
Altering the arrows in this way made
them fit more with the desired
aesthetic and also made the web
banner look more professional.
After
Next I would have to create the little box at the bottom of the web banner to indicate which
slide the banner is on.
For the user to be able to tell which page they are on, I have decided that if the user is on the
second slide, the second dot should have a black ring around it, and the same for all the other
pages. I would have to create a black ring in photoshop.

In this lesson I learned how to create a web banner by resizing, repositioning and copying
arrows over a background. I learned how to produce a “carousel” and “carousel indicators”
using simple drawn shapes. I also partially discovered how to create a ring, however I did not
fully adopt this skill, and had to settle for simply creating a different colour carousel indicator.
Creating the web banner gave me more experience in using the ellipse tool, the rounded
rectangle tool, the transform tool, the subtract from shape function, and more experience in
handling multiple assets.

The big space at the left of the navigation bar was purposefully left there to house the search
bar.
To make the search bar for the navigation bar I would first have to create the magnifying glass
icon on a separate document in photoshop.
I selected file-new-clipboard1280x1024-
create. This produced the workspace
shown last
First I selected the ellipse tool.
Learnt
In this lesson I have learned how to use the gradient tool to make a two colours fade into each other, I have learned
how to produce a simple search or magnifying glass icon, and I have learned how to use the measuring tool to make
distances between items even. Creating the navigation bar gave me more experience in handling multiple assets, I have
learned the importance of creating assets separately and then combining them, this makes work on photoshop much
more manageable and results in a more thought out professional looking graphic

Learnt
I learned how to use the shape size slider to resize parts of a circle. I learned that measuring out certain parts of a
graphic, and the angles of parts of the graphic is very important because if the shape is uneven it will look rushed
and untidy. Measuring the graphic and planning out the sizes of all the elements of the graphic will make the
graphic symmetrical and professional looking. I have learned how adding different shades of the same colour can
give a graphic a much more layered and interesting design. I have learned how to use the line tool to trace the
outline of a shape and use that outline to help me in the production of my own graphic.
Asset Management
Now I have finished all my graphics I will have to save them as JPEG files. The JPEG file format makes the graphics
very website friendly by decreasing the file size and consequently decreasing the load time
