**EXTRA CREDIT**






























In order to get extra credit points, I have developed a 5th website in iweb. The topic of this website is to talk about my undying love for the White Sox team. I decided to go with a black background, because black is the official color of the White Sox. I developed a title in Adobe Illustrator and I imported that title over to iweb. From there, I imported pictures that I have taken at various games from over the years. I imported pictures of Paul Konerko, because he is my favorite White Sox player.

Week 15



































Throughout this week... I have installed my documentary clips and my content into my website. I still have alot of work to do! I need to learn how to change the format of my website and put my own pictures into the heading. I have installed a variety of clips, with content that goes along with those clips.

Week 14














































Instead of making my second website in Dreamweaver due to complications, I decided to use Iweb instead. I created A brand new Touch of Color in Iweb. Though, I kept the same title that I made in Photoshop. In addition, I decided to chose an Iweb background that is colorful and matches the colors that are in my pictures. I decided to have 3-4 pictures per page with very little content.. so the viewer can look at my pictures, instead of reading alot of text. I broke the pages up based on the genre of pictures. The first page is my welcome page, the next page talks about Chicago, the next page shows pictures that can relate to life in general, and the last page are pictures taken from a wine vineyard in Michigan.

Week 13









Here is a sample video from my documentary that I will implement into my website. I have decided to chop up my documentary and embed interesting clips where needed. I didn't want to upload my entire thirty minute documentary, because it would take segments of ten minutes. Therefore, it would break my documentary up into three ten minute segments. This does not have the impact I want to give my audience while watching my clips.

Week 12





















I have established a youtube account... so now its time to choose a theme and choose my clips! I needed a theme that draws the attention of people. So I chose something that has alot of images and a bright ten background. I wanted something fancy and cool looking. But, I will need to change the images of the headline. to imges that I have already taken while I was at NBC.

Week 11
































































During this week, I am deciding which background I want to use through Wordpress. As I stated earlier, I have a collection of about a dozen templates, so now I have to narrow down my search and chose only one. My goal is to embed clips into my website from my documentary, so I will need to establish a youtube account. Once I do this, I will then need to upload the various clips I want to decide to embed. I first needed import clips from my documentary into a m2p file. This took awhile to do in the media lab, but I finally was able to do that. I then upload the files to youtube in order to embed in my website. Next, I have chosen different images I want to use in my website. Now I just need to find a template that works and combine my images, clips, and content into one coherent website.

Week 10




























































As I continue to trouble shoot my dreamweaver problem... I will start on my next website. For our final project, we are to create a website using Wordpress. With this program, I'm crossing my fingers so that it is not as confusing as Dreamweaver! This week we began to search around on the web to fin templates that relate to my topic. Throughout the course of the semester, I have been putting together my Senior Project. For my Senior Project I have developed a 30 minute television documentary, in which I interviewed people that work at NBC News. I interned at NBC with political reporter, Mary Ann Ahern, so while I was there I established many relationships with people in which I interviewed. My concept with my next website is to show my audience the process of the news making process and to introduce them to the key players at NBC News. Because I will be showing clips from my documentary, I thought it would be beneficial to find a Wordpress template that relates to my topic. I have uploaded a few different backgrounds that I am deciding between for my next website.
