lisawhiteman.com
The homepage of lisawhiteman.com is a space for my weblog, weblog naviation, and site navigation. I designed the banner by making a contact sheet of a row of negatives and replacing the pictures in the row with light gray boxes, overlaying them with transparent pictures of my own. This is the second major design of the site.	The above is one of the interior pages of the site, the obligatory "about me" page. Each first-level interior page has a unique navigation bar; an arrow and orange-colored text indicate which page of the site the user is visiting.	On the photos page, I provide a description of each set of photos along with a thumbnail picture. I originally planned only to post pictures from trips I've taken, but lately I've been posting some local pictures as well. I kept each set of pictures in its original design; therefore, some of the older sets will look different than the newer ones.	Generally I try to avoid using frames, but I wanted the user to be able to scroll the thumbnails on the right without moving the primary image. The user can view the pictures by clicking the "prev" and "next" links (which remain stationary), or by clicking on the thumbnails. Rather than using small versions of big pictures for the thumbnails, I decided to select a small piece of each picture, so that the thumbnails would still have detail and would potentially inspire curiosity in the user. I chose to put the thumbnails to the left of the picture, so that there would be no scrollbar dividing the frames (when using 1024x768+ resolution).	This is the original design of the site, done in early 2001. The picture of me was taken by Scott Clay in June 1998. I transformed the picture by taking out the color information and making the image transparent. The background is composed of a larger version of the same picture. I designed the icons in the navigation bar.	I designed this map to show the route I traveled through the U.S. on a trip in 1999. I used a picture of an existing map, changed the colors to match the site design, and hand-drew the path in blue. When the cursor is moved over the path, the names of the towns I stayed in appear (as shown above), and if a particular town is clicked, a pop-up window with a picture from that town appears.	A description of the same cross-country journey was designed using frames. Throughout the description there are links that, when clicked, open corresponding pictures to the left of the text. The pictures are stationary while the text can be scrolled.
