Interactive Watersheds Home Page

Today, when Mountain Visions gives a presentation to an audience or when we are guiding them through a demonstration during a phone call, or when we send e-mail to interested people, we start with the home page for the Interactive Watersheds project. Given enough time, we could present this whole online workshop to those interested in knowing the details about how the sites were developed.

At this time, please open the “Home” page on the Interactive Watersheds site. You should be able to alternately bring this page forward to read this text and bring the “Home” page forward to look at the features being described. If your screen resolution is high enough you may be able to see both of these pages side by side.

This page contains a graphically designed banner for Interactive Watersheds, three photographs and a simple navigation menu to move to a U.S. map showing Large Scale Community Based Watershed projects across the country. A web Site Index is available as well. These graphic features were made using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

The page also contains HTML text (not a graphic) which summarizes the project and gives credit to funding, coordination and production sources. These credit notes also actively link to the respective web site addresses of the organizations noted.

The photographs on this page are somewhat unusual. They are actually 360 degree panorama pictures which have been made into a static picture with the popular image processing program Photoshop. (See the workshop topics 360º Panoramas and Digital Image Processing.)

Also of note on this page, and throughout the Interactive web site template and all of the web sites, you see a layout and design that is pleasant to the eye and easy to read and visualize. Beth Workman of Zeland Studio in Boise Idaho is the graphic artist who worked with Mountain Visions and the watershed coordinators to make this possible. She uses a wide variety of image processing and desktop publishing applications for much of her work. She is also a very creative artist and this makes her work truly unique.

The web site authoring program Adobe GoLive was used to lay out the graphics, text and photographs on a web page. GoLive was also used to create the hot links to other information resources.
