I made further progress today. In fact, I’ve completed the tutorial and have posted images of the home page and a single page below. Creating the graphics and layout is very detailed. You have to get down to the pixel level when positioning some of the elements. If you’re not detail oriented, this isn’t for you. My design is just a bit different than the authors. Some of the color hex codes weren’t provided so I guessed. I didn’t have an icon for the search bar so I used a “Go” button instead. My header and footer are taller also. Anyway, I’m going through this process to better understand the design aspects of WordPress theme design. Next up – slicing the Photoshop file for use in the CSS.
