Tonight I finished up the edits that Josh had discussed with me in Thursday’s Zoom meeting. Of all the changes, I felt this one would be the most complicated so I held off on completing it until the very end. What Josh wanted were eight squares alternating between an athlete in competition and a person in a business setting. The first part of that process was to find pictures that fit the description then crop them so that they were a perfect square. Then I would have to place them onto WordPress. However, I knew that when it came to placing content, the system basically does whatever it wants. To get around that, I turned to my new friend, Photoshop Elements. You would think it was a breeze after that, I just place the pictures side-by-side and now I have a collage masterpiece.
Granted, it was a lot easier going this route than trying to do it in WordPress, but there was still the matter of sizing up each of the cropped squares so that they were all of equal height and width. Once that was complete, I had to place it on WordPress which as I alluded to earlier had its own ideas for how the strip should look on the site. I had to go in and change a setting so that it now comes clear across the bottom of the site. This is probably not the last change we make to the site, but I am good with what we have right now.
