Mockup...walt

Had trouble with Kuler...some confusion between my former MultiMedia login/password and what I tried to enter for the Adobe site. Got it settled, but by then I already had a color scheme:
medium blue-ish...6b8bc1
light blue-ish...c7dcf3
dark blue-ish...254262
These were pulled from the images that I used.

Images...I kinda cheated and used the images from the Mid-term. Which, unfortunately, means I don't quite remember what I did to touch them up. But I usually use Levels and Curves. Pulled images using the eliptical marquee tool for the banner and then used some edge effects

I recreated the text color from the banner to make the exclamation. Contrasting colors: 461010 with a 2px stroke using fffc00.

Buttons: used polygon tool. In the "actual" web site, the button would provide different text for each mountain. Possible rolloever: just a color change...maybe to the contrasting colors 461010 and fffc00.

Missing some stuff...but out of time. Mea culpa.

PS...Helpful tutorial on PS layers: http://www.sketchpad.net/photoshp.htm

PPS...Also on layers, found this title...ordered it from the library:
Layers : the complete guide to Photoshop's most powerful feature / Matt Kloskowski. Looks interesting.
