I found a great group that gives lessons in web design called Juelle's Web Design. These pages are where you can see the results of my lessons. This is Lesson 1 - "Color Coordination." Scroll down to read all of the particulars. The color I used for the top background is #a57e92 and it was taken from the image. I applied an effect to it using Fantastic Machine's Paint Engine. I made duplicate layers of the pallette image and overlapped them to fill a 300x300 square. I then applied PSP's Mosaic - Antique effect to it, using default settings. The middle background, that is just a thin line going around the purple one, was created by applying Filter Factory J's Twister effect to the same layered tube image. In order to create backgrounds of the effects, I applied Simple's Quick Tile to all three of them so that they would be seamless. The font that I used is called "Classic." The color is #242761 and was taken from the image and it is oulined with the Twister background and drop-shadowed. These are the initial colors that I selected from my image: just so I would have a starting base. I used the purple to create the top, mottled background, the yellow is the color that I chose to use for links on this page, and I used the dark blue of the font for the text.
