So, for this project I found that the tentacles and body were the most difficult and took the most time since it is a custom shape. I also had trouble figuring out a gradient background since every time I tried to do it it would not show up, so instead I made a wave in the back to give it some depth and texture. Otherwise I would say coding is time consuming and a little frustrating but still kind of fun, if I had more time I would have gone more in depth with this project but plan on using text wrangler in the future just to play around. I also did not use a image form the web but drew a little underwater scene instead and then transferred it online....
