Entry 7

We had out first 10% exercise today. Where we we're required to build a page in DMW & PSP based on the sample page and make it work well visually with the other page. I used PSP to slice up images from sample page so I can use them in my webpage differentiating links from texts etc. In the other page, I tried to make it coherent with the homepage and with the images given I edited it in PSP just using grayscale property. And finally, an external sheet was attached to style text for both images. We learnt about the design and layout techniques for html and also photoshop and layers in planning We also examined the use of digital and non digital image by artists working on the web like:
Reference: digital installation art, http://www.virtualart.at/common/viewWork.do?id=250 “This is virtual art work by MAURICE BENAYOUN work in the evolving field of digital installation art. This complex, research-oriented overview of immersive, interactive, telematic and genetic art has been developed in cooperation with established media artists, researchers and institutions”.
These virtual images are interesting in the sense that there is contrast in images n looks like there is masking involved as well as very low saturation happening.
