Lab15: Online Photograph Album
Due the end of day on Aug. 3rd. YOu may have 24 hours extention.
For this lab, you will make an online photograph album.
Background:
Large images can take a long time to download, so online photograph albums often display smaller thumbnail images. The thumbnails serve as links to the larger images.
Proper thumbnails should be separate files, not just the original images displayed with smaller dimensions. They can be smaller versions of the original images or use a portion cropped out from it.
The lab
- Your task is to create a basic one-page album of pictures with thumbnails and captions
- For each image, when the thumbnail is clicked, the full image should be displayed and the whole set images can also be navigated from that point using lightbox
- The page should have a suitable heading and short explanation of the album's contents.
- You may use your own images or get copyright free images from the web. You must provide appropriate acknowledgments for all images.
- You should have at least 4 different images in your album.
- Add a footer section for image source
Making thumbnail images
You do not need to use a special photo editing program to make thumbnails, though you can if you wish.
There are online tools available for resizing and cropping images. One of them is pic resize at http://www.picresize.com/. You can crop out selections, rotate the image, resize it, and add selected special effects. To use it, you just upload your image, make your changes, and save the final result.
Submission:
- Create a subdirectory of your public_html directory on wyrd.hood.edu for this project.
- Put all the files for the project in that directory.
- After it is ready, provide the URL of the lab.
