Web Design


Web Design Project

Overview

We began this project by setting up our site in DreamWeaver. It began fairly difficult, but I figured things out pretty quickly. We started by making our first page. On my home page, is a photo of me, and my elevator pitch, a brief description of me, and my skills and experiences. Then we added our second page, and embedded our projects and their descriptions. It contains two of my projects from the first semester of e-Communication. The first one, my House Animation from the animation rotation first quarter, and the second one, my Chase Scene video from the video rotation second quarter. The class started the project on Monday, but I was absent that day. So, I was working on this project for about four days.

What I Learned

This project was a very good experience. I think that I got a lot out of it. Using the videos really helped me see how to do everything step by step. With them, someone who is a beginner at Web Design, like me, could complete a simple project like this easily. I am glad that I now have some knowledge and experience with DreamWeaver and coding. It really helped having teachers available for questions at any time.

How Did I Do?

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the finished product. It looks clean, and is very customized to my personal likes and dislikes. Next time I will use colors that differ from each other more, but sill compliment each other. I will also maybe use some more variety of fonts. I would like to do a project similar to this again. And when I do, it will go a lot smoother, now that I have experience.

In Conclusion

I think this project went very well, and I take pride in the final outcome. I had never done anything like this before, and am surprised that I picked it up so fast. I'm very happy that I got the chance to do this project, because it was a very fun way of learning how to design a website. 

Thank you for reading!

Senior Reflection

5 Guarantees  Technical Skills In e-Comm I have learned many technical skills of filmmaking. The program has taught me how to use a camera and other equipment, and how to use editing software. This is extremely beneficial for me, as I am going to study these areas in college. I have a solid understanding of these skills before going to college which will help me a lot. I faced a few struggles along the way, but that is simply part of learning. You can't learn without making mistakes.  Communication In e-Comm I learned how big of a role communications has in life. Being apart of a team requires communication from each person for the maximum outcome. When I was apart of projects with a group that had bad communication, the final product was never as good. It will continue to be one of the most important skills to have throughout the rest of my life. Collaboration In e-Comm I have learned collaboration skills I wouldn't have been able to get anywhere else. I learned about the spe...

10 Words

My 10 Words Project In this project, I wanted to show the 10 words that describe me best. Here are some that mean the most to me. I chose the word dancer because dance is a major part of my life. I do not go a single day without dancing at least a little bit. If I'm not at school, or doing school work, I am most likely dancing. It is a huge part of me and will continue to be.  I chose the word sarcastic because I am being sarcastic 50% of the time I'm speaking. If I am talking to someone I don't know, I try to hold back the sarcasm until i get to now them better. I am a very sarcastic person, and probably will also continue to be.  I chose the word forgiving because I am just a very forgiving person. No matter how bad something you do is, I will still very likely forgive you. I have in the past forgiven people so many times as to where it gets to the point that they will just take advantage of me. Sometimes I'm too forgiving. Lastly, I chose the...

My Logo

My Logo Process Attached are all the art boards from my logo design project. The process of creating my own logo was a long one. I started out by sketching my ideas. I tried many different shapes and styles. Once I decided on my top 3 to bring to life, I went to Adobe Illustrator. I started with black and white, just to see if the shapes would compliment each other, or be appealing. I tried my simplest circle idea, and it went well. When I tried to do the more advanced ones with odd shapes, I didn't have enough Ai experience or knowledge to make one well. I tried to do them implying the rose, and using circles, but I did not like how it looked. Then, when I decided to just stick with the simplest option, it was time to add color. I began with trying analogous colors for contrast between the circle and the letters. I decided I liked the tone and simplicity of the blues. While playing with color, I wondered what it would look like with a stroke. So, I tried the dif...
