For this project I used Dreamweaver and Photoshop. Dreamweaver was used to create the website and rollorver images and Photoshop helped me with creating Header, Hyperlink images and Rollover images. Overall experience was interesting. I wanted to make the site simple and easy to understand. To create header I used pattern tool. There are few header examples on the following site:

Instructions on this site were quite helpful, but I had to load the patterns to Pattern Picker. After making mistakes and trying it couple of times I came up with the final version of the Header. Hyperlink images and rollover images were easy to create. For this I used Custom Shape tool and Gradient map.
What I learned from websites? Assets can come real handy when creating a website. Images or banners that will be used repeatedly on the site should be created once and then used as required. It would be a good idea for a Web Designer to create a personal directory of assets and they can be used for different projects.
Colors used: #7b2e00, #866764, #000
