Web Design refers to the HTML (structure), CSS (style), and JavaScript (interaction) technologies used in browser-Web Server communication, resulting in web pages being displayed to the end user.

The first aim of this course is to learn, understand and apply the above technologies to create simple code-based websites.

With the term Digital Content Production, we describe the production - editing of images, audio documents and video.

The second aim of this course is to learn, understand and use free software to create audio and video files.

In this course, it is necessary to familiarize students with the "remote" computer, the Web Server, and the structure of a website. To achieve that, students will create a Wordpress blog in which they will upload some of the material they have created.

The third aim of this course is to learn, understand and create a Wordpress blog site and upload content to it.

The Color in Gimp

Layers and export of image

The Gimp.GIMP is a cross-platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X, Windows and more operating systems. It is free software, you can change its source code and distribute your changes.

Gimp file- Selection tools. The Gimp .xcf file stores layers, transparency settings, paths, and other information. In this submodule, we will create the first Gimp file. We will also learn methods to select specific areas of an image in order to make the image transparent.

The Color in Gimp. We have already learned the RGB and RGBA models. Here we will study the HSV model (Hue, Saturation, Value-lightness). In this submodule, we will learn how to improve or change the color of an image using the appropriate tools. We will also learn to pick and select a color using the appropriate tools.

Layers and export of image. A good way to visualize a GIMP image is as a stack of layers. In this submodule we will learn to combine layers and to apply several of the available tools on them. We will also learn to export an image to the commonly used in WEB formats: .jpg, .png and .gif.
