Step 2 - Create Your Background
Based on the skills you've learnt, create your background. I used a tutorial I found on Youtube.
I also used a colour palette generator to help me come up with my colour scheme that reflects me. You can use https://coolors.co/generate
If you are drawing graphics use Inkscape. If you are using photographs use Gimp.
Step 3 - Add Text
Step 3 - Add Text
Name your website. The name should reflect what this website is about, so include your name and also something about DT / Digi Tech / Digital Technologies / Portfolio etc.
Again pick fonts that reflect you.
My text has a drop shadow on it to create depth.

Firstly save the gimp/inkscape file (should have been doing this along the way)
Then you need to Export as a JPEG or PNG. For this example we are going to export the Page.
