Web Poetry

I did my poem page for the week 4 in class exercise.

My choice of poem was Robert Frost's Mending Wall, for the simple purpose that it leads to easy imagery: a wall. So I went out to the web, and found a tileable stone wall texture on TurboSquid for use as a video game texture. Since it's tiling, it makes a good background texture.

This is the first time I've manipulated an image to blend into the background color, I've never done that before. It's also the first time I've layered text over a background image. It's a simple page, but it's at least somewhat interesting looking. I guess you could say that's what I learned. I'm starting to get better at positioning: the use of that global #container div really simplifies page construction.
