Project 1: Self-Portrait Website
Illustration Page
Requirements
The Websites/project1/pages/illustration.html page is for you to showcase your Design Illustration on the web by presenting your artwork and Artist Statement.
Websites/project1/pages/illustration.html must include
- A header image/banner
- Explanation text about the assignment with correct spelling and grammar
- A thumbnail of your illustration properly linked as described below to a custom browser window that displays your large illustration
- A title of the illustration
- Your edited and corrected Artist Statement for your illustration
How do you the above? Follow these instructions:
- Your Self-Portrait illustration was produced in your Design class as a CMYK print document but we need an RBG web version for the web. So open your illustration file and File > Save as > illustration.ai in your Websites/project1/p1_LOCAL_ONLY folder. Then change the color mode by going to File > Document Color Mode > RGB.
- Create two .jpg versions of the same image by twice going to File > Save for Web
- change the image size in the Image Size tab on the Save for Web window
- choose .jpg format
- create a .jpg thumbnail with max width of 200 px saved as Websites/project1/images/design_illustration_thumbnail.jpg
- repeat and create a larger .jpg version with max width of 1000 px saved as Websites/project1/images/design_illustration.jpg
- In DW, open illustration.html and type an explanation of the assignment so that your viewers have some context to view your art. Then paste your Artist Statement for your illustration.
- Place your cursor in front of your Artist Statement in Design view. Go to Insert > Layout Objects > Div and choose for class "photoleft" or "photoright". Delete the text inside the resulting div on your page.
- Click inside the .photoleft or .photoright div box so that your cursor is blinking inside the div. Go to Insert > Image and navigate to Websites/project1/images/design_illustration_thumbnail.jpg. A caption is optional by clicking on the thumbnail, pressing on the right arrow key on your keyboard and Shift+Return to create a new line and type in your caption under the photo. The caption could state "Click on image to see larger version".
- Create a new blank html page (in DW, File > New > Blank page > HTML > none > Create) and save it as Websites/project1/pages/illustration-large.html. Include a suitable page title for the browser window. Insert > image your design_illustration.jpg (larger one) image
- For Websites/project1/pages/illustration-large.html, go to the CSS Styles panel and attach Websites/styles/fonts.css so that you can have any custom fonts available to you.
- For Websites/project1/pages/illustration-large.html, go to the CSS Styles panel and create Tag rule for "body" with the following properties and values:
- font-family = should match your other font choices
- font-size = 100% (not pixels)
- color = white (or the color of your choice)
- background-color = black (or the color of your choice that doesn't conflict with the text color)
- margins = 0
- text-align=center
- padding = 0
- Back on Websites/project1/pages/illustration.html, click on the thumbnail and in the Properties panel, type a # in the link field.
- Link the thumbnail to open a new browser window linked to illustration-large.html by selecting the thumbnail and going to Tag Inspector > Behaviors > + > Open Browser Window with these settings
- width = width of your photo + 16 pixels for the external scrollbar (i.e. 1000 for photo + 16 for scrollbar = 1016 px)
- nothing for window height
- check the box for Scrollbars as needed just in case a vertical external scrollbar is needed
- window name = showcase
- Optional: Offset the new browser window from the screen top and left by a custom amount (works on some browsers)
- Click on the thumbnail. Then go to Modify > Edit Tag
- Twirl down Event and choose onClick
- Add the top and left code like the image below with any amount of your choice - be careful with commas and apostrophes

- OPTIONAL 5 points CONTENT EXTRA CREDIT - record yourself reading your Illustration Artist Statement with music and embed the resulting .mp3 in an artful way - either as a caption under the thumbnail, above the main text of the Artist Statement, or part of the illustration-large.html page. Inserting HTML5 Audio instructions here - you'll have to tweak it a bit to customize it for your audio.
