Assignment Four
In order to really have control over your graphics you need to have some basic skills for manipulating them. That is what this lab is all about
Creating Graphics
At the beginning of class I told you that you would be needing some images -- well the time has arrived. I would prefer you incorporate your own images into your site (digital camera pictures), but I will allow internet graphics for a lower score. Once you have them you will:
  • Perform a Basic Size Manipulation -- Using one of the graphics on your site, change the graphics size to support some form of navigation. A good example here is using thumbnails.

  • Perform a Basic Filter Manipulation -- Show me you can use one of the filters in the image tool -- it could be a simple filter (like grayscale) or something more expressive like a distortion filter. Find a way to make it work for your theme, don't just hang it on a page.

  • Enhance your Image Map -- Last week I gave you a basic low-tech way to define your hot spots. Now that you have access to a tool that can help you find the coordinates, create at least 1 polygon hotspot -- 6 sides minimum. This can be on last weeks image map, or you could create a new one.
