come on...errr

so our client runs the place mostly by himself...the problem with that is
"ya ill get you some pic"-bill
"hey (a week later) was hoping to pick up those pic's"-me
"OH CRAP, sorry i forgot I'm so busy"-bill
"OK well we only have until the 29th max to get them in the site"-me
"OK OK that's perfect ill call you sat with the pic's"- bill

so i still haven't hear from him and I'm having doubts about them magically appearing Mon,
 so were prob going to have to talk to Phil about keeping the place holder images we took of him making pasta in the slide show due to the lack of content we are getting from the client..hum. it kinda changes our look we were going for but what can you do.

-bummed-

Beta testing

so we started beta testing yesterday and we found some boo boos, we had some cap letters in our code and we used center in our html instead of our css, so after we fixed that....it happened

explorer broke our site.. and made it its B-och

after freaking out and going through our code searching for an error our awesome professor asked if we saved our images as RGB and sure enough i saved it as CMYK, so after we converted it everything was peachy...

we still need to adjust a few thing and are waiting on pic STILL from our client but over all its all coming together

fixed it...almost

So we have solved our background issue...kinda

our group "with the help of our Bulgarian friend ; P", discover photo merge in photoshop which allowed our to combine 12 bad images to make one complete one. So, we used this image and were cutting it our, color correcting it and putting it on a background so that across browsers our background image doesn't repeat or look funny

yay team work

Vote on a background image

so our group is trying to solve the background image issue of... when the window is stretched we should have another image behind it. So because our original images aren't backed up enough to do this which solution do u like...
A- the original image with wood cutting board behind

or

B- a new image that's not cropped with a marble background

!!!keep in mind whats in the white outline is what would pop up originally, you would only see the rest if you were to stretch the window larger

Fixing a few thingypograp

Yay! we passed our proposal for the site and have generic coding done so now er have to fix all of our issues.

First we must battle with the client in order to change font and whether we are using Bella Cuisina in the title.

Also, we want to lose the grapes... we will see what bill says.

We need to figure our the sizing on our background image and possibly make a div to hope the whole thing.

Next we need to add a 15-20% transparency behind the typography, to help legibility.

we will just keep working... and keep u posted ; )

404 idea....

I started thinking about our 404 page, and how to connect it to our themes of the previous pages and i came up with something like this...


Other than that were meeting on Sunday to have a coding party! Hopefully we will made some of our final decisions and be ready for our proposal on Tuesday ; )

OMG i love it when my brain works

So I had a hurricane of ideas today and i went nuts trying to make it happen.. i envisioned my page and went to the Italian market to make it happen -> then a photo shoot ->then used the ingredients i bought to make yummy pizza - > then tossed the image into photoshop to see what i would roughly look like

so i know the photo and assets need a lot of tweaking but i love the layout and I'm still talking to my partners hoping they love it too

PS this made me ten times more excited about this project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the white box would be a slide show of dishes... hopefully- we are still waiting for promised photo CD
