Step by step instructions can be viewed here
Top Tip: Make Sure to Publish your Google Site and the end of each lesson.
Aesthetic / Style
This term, you will explore two photographic contexts: Architecture / Nature & Portraits & Events.
For each of these areas, your subpages should be a different style to match the context you are exploring. Consider how to use colour and arrangement to show this.
Examples:
Architecture may use full pay images to emphasise large spaces, with modern fonts and a limited colour pallet.
Nature & Landscapes could use natural colours (greens, greys, browns) and a mixture of image sizes.
Portrait pages sometimes display brightly coloured images in a grid
