The purpose of my website is to help people gain more information on colleges. It is a website that will show different pictures of colleges and have simple information about all of them. All different people can access the website and learn important information. This may include the size of the college, the average GPA, etc.

Today I continued working on my illusion logo. I am having trouble with the design of the logo but overall I am almost done. My design is the rock and roll hand with red and a yellow lightning bolt sort of relating to the superhero theme. I used Illustrator to make the hand better.

J.C.R Licklider envisioned the "Internet." He called it his "Galactic Network." It happened in August 1962. HTML means Hyper, Text, Mark-Up, and Language. The most basic program to write HTML is Microsoft's Notepad or Wordpad, or Mac's simple text. Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop as well as Adobe Flash can build a website.

A header is an image that is usually placed on the top of a blog or website. It is normally horizontal which consists of the logo, or some other elements such as social media icons, an advertisement banner or search bar. Also, the header will probably contain the primary color of the website or blog to give the look and feel of the page. On the other hand, a banner usually serves for advertising or informative purposes. A banner can be various sizes such as horizonatal, vertical, or square. You can use banners on social media to advertise events or new products as well. Whereas the banner is used for advertisement, the header is purely for the top of the page for branding or recognizing the site.
