Creating a Website from a Preset Layout

    So far we have looked at building websites to our own specifications, using our own created layouts and building that site. Today, we were given a choice of four different layouts and had to emulate one.

    This was the layout that I chose to build from, a website for a movie. I chose this layout because I liked the large, bold splash images and the bold text as well, it's a very simple style but one that takes skill to pull of correctly. Using Sublime Text Editor, I had to build this site from scratch, and upload it to GitHub.

    The main skill I used in this task was creating div elements, and positioning them throughout the page using margins, paddings and floats. In this layout the elements don't all cascade vertically or horizontally in a linear way, so to position the elements in their correct places isn't as easy as it first appears. I also used different typography and images throughout the site, so creating an interesting style using these was fun.

    This is the finished website.
