All right.
Welcome back.
So in this video, we're going to build out the blog page for our app.
So what I want should do is go to the.
Learn app design folder.
Click on blog.
Case, we have our nav and footer here and then minimize for first second and go to the five page app
design folder and.
Right.
Click on blog and open with.
No, don't share open with Photoshop 20/20.
OK, so we have a lot of stuff here to cover.
So what I want to do with this.
As we're going to shrink this down substantially, so the only thing that you see is the thumbnail,
the title, the text and read more.
We don't need any of this because it's we're going to run of space, basically.
So grab the marquee tool here.
Zoom in with me and let's erased this.
So I'm gonna go like this and I'm grab the eyedropper.
OK.
And I'm going to grab a paint brush.
And I'm going to paint.
So granted, I have a 5000 pixel paint brush.
Make sure if you do that, that you have.
The marquee tool.
This is a selection to make sure the selection to on so that way when you do it.
It will just fill in that rectangle.
Otherwise, you're going to your whole page is going to be white it out.
And we don't want that.
All right.
So next, what I'm gonna do is grab the marquito again and we're gonna grab LEPs edges to the paint
brush.
We're gonna grab the title and the button here.
So many control C, control X.
And then I'm going to paste this up and we're going to go all the way to the top right there.
And then I'm going I'm not just to the left.
So that it fills.
And then when I'm going to do.
We're gonna grab the marquee again and we're going to cut out this content and we're gonna bring it
over to our app.
So I'm going to have control C control X.
Hello.
That didn't work.
Nope.
I don't wanna control AC.
There's something I control d first one to right.
Click on layers and merge them together.
Then we're gonna do this.
Because of both layers are not selected, it will not work.
Someone had control C, control X.
There you go.
I'll bring in the blog up here.
And one second.
This is going haywire on me.
All right.
So what we're going to do is I'm going to cut out this right here and that right there.
OK.
Then when I'm it is in control D and I to bring this up.
OK.
We're not going to use that.
Delete that, please.
And then I'm going to do control zie to undo I'm in control.
C, control, x control.
V, just to make sure it works.
OK.
That worked and then control V.
Here we go.
Beautiful.
When I do it right, it actually works.
Sweet.
So what I want to do is I want to maximize this content so that it fills the entire screen.
And part of the reason why I want to do that.
Well, there's a couple reasons.
One being I want to keep it simple.
So when you get to my Web site and I'm actually going to drop this down a little bit and have have a
kind of centered because.
It makes him more visually appealing to someone on a mobile device.
And you can see were one 52 from the top.
OK.
I'm 137.
I don't know what we are on the bottom, Nancy, 142.
OK.
So if I like that or 139 and 140.
So we're about even from the top and the bottom.
Now, the only reason I'd want to do this, instead of putting it all the way to the top, is if you
wanted to add a page title, you could you have space now, because what you want to do when you're
doing any kind of simplistic design, you wanted to leave enough space for all your elements.
So it's easy to see and easy to find.
You don't want everything crunched together.
You want to kind of separated out, OK?
So that's why I gave a little more space.
So that way it's easier to read and easier to see.
And on top of that.
When?
Or I just do here.
Let's do.
OK, I'm going to redo my nudge and just leave it there.
Basically, what I'm saying is when you have space on the top, on the bottom, it's easier to read
the content.
And it flows a little better.
OK?
Because you get separation from the navvy even.
So you look at the NAB, you're like, OK.
This is the site, learn tech.
Plus click on the NAV, go to the page I want and look on.
There's a blog right here.
I want to read read more.
So this is what I'm focusing on.
I want you to read more with the blog.
And that's all I'm focusing on.
So and what I recommend doing is if you have something like this and you have a lot of blogs, pagination
or.
Put a couple blogs on the page on this page and then do pagination.
And the reason why you want to do that is because you do not want people's scrolling.
They will leave your site if you do that.
So.
OK.
So thanks for watching.
I'll see in the next video.
