Today I was researching and watching tutorials for how Dreamweaver works and I tried to use a bit of the software, but still didn't understand how to use it. So, I decided to look at more different types of tutorials and some shortcuts.

Design Brief

For my project, I am thinking about doing web design on dreamweaver and learning more about coding and computer terms as well as develop my skills for how to make a website and what is needed for making one. I also want to create all the background designs or wallpaper designs for the website all by myself on photoshop or illustrator rather than using a picture from the internet. By doing that, I will develop my skills for those two software programs as well.

I tried another type of Vista Lightening Effect, but with different colors and position. I also combined all the layers together to change more of the color balance as a whole near the end. I messed up on some parts such as making one aurora effect come out red and it looks out of place.

Today I also tried making a list of things that I may be interested in doing to help develop my skills. The list consisted of web design(on dreamweaver), character animation (2D or 3D), film production, photography, and game design-coding.

Today, I worked on the Abstract Vector Background. I was having some trouble with making the gradient to appear, but I managed to get it to show. The first ellipse is not correctly gradient-ed, but I tried my best.

This is what it is supposed to look like:

Today, I tried to practice some photoshop skills, but I was having trouble with finding the tools and using them because in the instructions, it doesn't say what to do with the tools.

Today, I tried to do the bokeh effect on photoshop; however, when I was trying to do the gradient color effect, it wouldn't show up. I tried to move on the the other steps and go back, but I still can't get the gradient to come up.
