Dartmoor Resource - All day workshop

Saturday 11th October 2008 - 10am to 4pm
Today at the Exeter Phoenix Media Centre I worked with 4 Volunteers, Fiona, Graham, Jess & Julia from MED Theatre as we start to create the Dartmoor Resource.


thanks go to Anna for the image


Today's session was about getting to know each other, learning some basic web design skills using Dreamweaver and Photoshop. The Volunteers each made a simple 4 page website and manipulated images for both web and print applications.

We also looked at and discussed ways of sharing information online using iGoogle. iGoogle gives us the option to share Documents, write Blogs, Email, Chat (Google Talk) and share Calendars in one easy to use online package AND it's FREE!!

We also talked about design concepts and colour schemes. We looked at some images designed by Anna, another Volunteer who could not join us today. We researched hosting sites for audio: Podomatic, video: Youtube & DailyMotion, photographs: flickr, PhotoBucket & Picasa.

We are meeting again on 20th October at MED Theatre in Moretonhampstead.
