Anyways, Angela, to answer your question… I used Photoshop to do the tiled background image as well as the banner, which is actually a photo of my bedside table lamp. And the rest of the layout, well, because I’ve restarted so many times, I’ve gotten the hang of the whole {position: fixed vs position: relative} thing. Designing in Photoshop helped as it was eaiser to visually play around with background images, colours and sizing (specially sizing). A lesson I learnt the hard way. Powerpoint would be just as affective I suspect if you don’t have Photoshop.
As for the lighbox effect, in UTS Online, Week 8, there’s a link to Lightbox where you can download the scripts and instructions on how to use it. It was pretty simple I thought and didn’t take too long to setup. The layout of the little thumbnail images with descriptions underneath, is from w3schools.
Hope that’s been helpful!
Cheers! Sandra. R.
