CHECK ATTACHED INSTRUCTION PHOTO GALLERY DOC PROJECT 1: PHOTO GALLERY Project Description You have been hired as a web designer for a fictitious company called Creative Genius Web Design. Your first day on the job, your supervisor asks you to create a simple, five-image photo gallery web page. Photo galleries provide an interactive way to view image content on websites. Screenshot image of what your web page photo gallery should look like when completed. This is a screenshot - The images are not clickable.

Project Components A complete photo gallery must feature the following components on the HTML web page:

1. A Title (e.g. Animals in Character in the screenshot above)

2. Five thumbnail images (refer to "Sourcing Free, High-Resolution Images on the Internet" below)

3. Large image area to display a larger version of the selected thumbnail image

4. Descriptive captions that are relevant to the image being displayed (50 words or less)

Project Functionality A complete photo gallery must provide the following functionality:

1. A JavaScript mouse event will: (a) Display the matching caption when the thumbnail image is hovered over.

2. JavaScript functions (2 or 3) will: (a) Add a border to a thumbnail image when it is clicked, remove the border when another thumbnail image is clicked (hint: use a for loop that targets CSS classes) (b) Display the selected thumbnail in the large image area (hint: use an if/else statement) (c) Add or alter any element in the DOM

Note 1:* (a) and (b) above may be combined into one function.

Project Requirements The zipped file attached to this assignment provides the folder structure that is required for this project. Instructions for how to unzip the file on a PC or a Mac can be found at visit Individual files have also been provided. All files must be externally linked in their respective image, style, and script folders. Points will be deducted if embedded or inline styles are used where not instructed. Image dimensions must be 800 pixels (width) x 400 pixels (height) and stored externally in a separate image folder Only use the index.html template to create your photo gallery Use the style.css file to store styles in a separate CSS folder Use the image-gallery.js file to store function(s) externally in a separate JavaScript folder Use // to document your code by providing comments that explain the purpose of all lines of code you write.

Submission Requirements Please submit the following to your Assignments Folder:

1. Host your working photo gallery online using the Nova Server

2. Submit the HTML files you used to create the webpage to your project Assignments Folder

3. Write a Project Reflection (see description below)

Project Reflection Answer the following questions when you submit your assignments files.

a. What is the theme of your design?

b. Where did you find your photos (include URL if image was downloaded from the Internet)?

c. What modifications did you make to the images (describe what you did to complete the assignment)?

d. What issues or challenges did you face completing this project?

Please submit your Project Reflection as a Microsoft Word document or just copy and paste your answers in your Assignments Folder's text box when you submit your assignment along with the rest of the required project files.

HTML Validation Your pages should validate without errors using the W3C HTML Markup Validation Service at . How to do this: Publish your pages to Nova; go to the W3C validator and paste in the URL to your index.html page; select the check button; if there are errors, correct them. Ignore errors on the image tag where "." and "%" are indicated.

Helpful Resources This assignment will require you to interact with the DOM. The links below highlight specific concepts and topics that you will need to learn in order to complete this assignment successfully:

1. Types of Mouse Events

2. Targeting IDs

3. Creating Loops

4. Targeting and Altering HTML

5. Getting and Passing Attributes

Sourcing Free, High-Resolution Images on the Internet This assignment will require you to find or create and resize five images to use in the photo gallery. You do not have to spend any money to acquire images, but you will need to have some knowledge of photo editing software to resize the images to the required 800x400 pixel size.

Here are some sites that offer free, high-resolution photos:

- Adobe Stock (https://stock.adobe.com)

- Flickr: Creative Commons (https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons)

- CAMIO (https://camio OCLC.org)

- Pexels (https://www.pexels.com)

- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com)

NOTE: Be careful. Do not download any install programs to view images. If the site asks you to install software or create an account, proceed cautiously. You may also use your own photos and indicate the source in your Project Reflection.

Please ensure all images are stored in an external images folder and linked properly in your HTML.

Paper For Above instruction

Creating a dynamic and visually appealing photo gallery webpage requires careful planning and implementation of both HTML structure and JavaScript functionality. This paper details the process of designing and developing a five-image photo gallery for a fictitious company, Creative Genius Web Design, focusing on layout, functionality, and resource sourcing.

The theme chosen for this project revolves around nature landscapes to evoke tranquility and appreciation of natural beauty. The images were sourced from reputable free stock image websites such as Pexels and Pixabay, accommodating both quality and royalty-free usage. Specifically, five high-resolution landscape images were selected, resized to 800x400 pixels using Photoshop, and stored in an external 'images' folder to adhere to project specifications.

Modifications to the images included resizing to meet the 800x400 pixel requirement, optimizing file sizes for web performance, and ensuring consistent aspect ratios to maintain visual harmony in the gallery. No additional filters or edits were necessary beyond resizing, but attention was paid to ensure clarity and color accuracy to enhance user experience.

The main challenges faced during this project involved JavaScript event handling and DOM manipulation. Specifically, implementing hover effects to display captions required precise targeting of thumbnail elements, as well as managing multiple event listeners. Additionally, implementing the click functionality to add borders and switch the main display image necessitated a clean, efficient approach using loops and conditional statements. Debugging cross-browser compatibility issues also posed some difficulties, but thorough testing and use of best coding practices helped resolve these.

The development process mandated a modular approach, separating HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files as per best practices. External linking of styles and scripts ensures maintainability and scalability. Comments in code facilitate understanding and future modifications.

In conclusion, building this photo gallery enriched understanding of DOM interactions, event-driven programming, and resource sourcing strategies. The project reinforced the importance of clean code, external resource management, and responsive design principles to create an engaging user interface.
