Dreamweaver

When you open up the Adobe Dreamweaver,

Go click “More” from Create new section and next chose your layout

For example, chose “1 column fixed, centered, header and footer” from Layout. And click create

Next it will show up the Save Style Sheet File As and create a new file or name your file– click save.

Open the css file in Dreamweaver, so you can modify the format and save your html file.

In order to change the background color, change to your css document and change the background color in the body tag.
body {

font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

background: #3366FF;

margin: 0; /* it’s good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */

padding: 0;

text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */

color: #000000;

}

To change the heading, just click the area where you want to put the text in html document.

Go find an image from the internet and save it into your webpage folder, and then change the image size and opacity in photoshop.

In order to change the background to the image edit the css file by changing the mainContent tag.

.oneColFixCtrHdr #mainContent {

padding: 0 20px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */

background-image:url(tampa-sea-monster.png);

background-repeat:no-repeat;

background-position:center
}

Changing other potion of the css file like the background color for the header and the background color for the mainContent can all be done the same way.

Also, I did not know that the new media started since 1980s. Before in the 20^th century, television and radio are the new media, yet there are so many new media in today. Doing an internet and a cellophane are most people’s every day life. According to the Wikipedia,  a new media mean is a term meant to encompass the emergence of digital, computerized, or networked information and  communication technologies in the later part of the 20th century. Most technologies described as “new media” are digital, often having characteristics of being manipulatable, networkable, dense, compressible, and impartial.

There are five major principles of new media by Manovich.

1, Numerical Representation: new media object can be described formally and is a subject to algorithmic manipulation.

2, Modularity: fractal structure of new media — using the metaphor of a fractal.

3, Automation: media access which means “online.”

4, Variability: sequence was stored in some objects, stored digitally rather than in some fixed media elements. Media goes hand-in-hand with modularity. 

5, Transcoding: translate object into another format.

In my opinion, using Google and watching a video from YouTube are one of my new media to me. It is great to know how difference between new and old media from essay.

It is very amazing how the computer has changed over the past few decades.  The first computer that I know was only black screen with green or white letter color and very boxy type monitor. On the other hand, the computer that I am using now has a very illuminated screen, and also I can use an internet and chatting with a web-cam. It is a really “Universal Seriality Turing Machine”.

Many theories and books have been written about how seriality is rerated to many things in our life.  One part of our life that seriality is related to would be creating art. Many artists use these repeating patterns or designs to display a wide range of emotions and stories. Seriality is also present in computer languages. Likewise computer software and data bases rely heavily on Seriality.

Seriality is also tied closely to our society and culture. Human languages use of sequences and series of nouns that build to word that build to sentences and complete paragraphs. Our society uses sequences of stripes and dashed lines for traffic and we also use repeating colors for our traffic signs.
