Description: This is a web page to describe the process I used in creating the ‘Phoenix Publishing’ logo. We learned how to format the web page using html and css.
Process: First we established the code for the html. This included all the changes made to the text itself and the images placed within the web page. The rest of the design elements were created using css. I used a border and an outline using colors taken from the logo itself. I used the photoshop eyedropper tool to get the right codes. I established a background color and image and made sure the margins and padding was accurate. I put background colors on the text to provide more flavor to the design.
Message: The message I wanted to convey was that I can create a clean and effective web page. It also communicated my ability to utilize other design elements.
Audience: Potential employers that are looking for people with a basic knowledge of web design and coding.
Top Thing Learned: Everything was new to me with this project so I learned so much! I think the top thing I learned was the simplicity of using css. With only a few codes we can modify the page and make it look good rather than basic. I also liked the principle of an external link so that you can have two separate documents and modify them whenever you need to.

Changes made to the css: I added a list background with proper padding. I centered the logo using padding. All the colors were changed based on the logo. I added a border and an outline to the text. Added a background image and repeated it vertically.
