Bring on the pretty

Since my last post I’ve designed my remaining pages (create, edit, and view) and I’ve written up all the static HTML and CSS for them.  You can see JPEGs of the designs below.  The actual HTML5 pages look the same except for some missing django elements (all the forms basically).  The edit page looks almost the same as the create page so I left it off.

So as requested by my mentor, I’ve learned how to “make it pretty”.  Now to dive back into django and finish this thing!

I have the final design of my landing page complete!  I haven’t written it up in html and css yet, but this pretty much exactly what it will look like.  Now I need to take care of three more layouts and my design will be complete.

So in addition to my brother’s incredible guidance on python and django development throughout this journey, I’ve now enlisted the aid of my other brother, a graphic designer.  He gave me access to some great tutorials on HTML/CSS and web design best practices.  Check out my cool new wireframing skills!

The next phase of the tutorial will teach me how to use Adobe Photoshop to create my actual website design.
