Creating a Webpage

The Process

First we had to download and unzip a zip file from the server. Then we had t open it in Dreamweaver and begin creating the website. The first thing we did was enter a photo we took. The we entered our elevator pitch and created a menu bar. Then we added a date that would update every time we edited the website. Then we added links to stuff like our blogs and our you tube channels and such. Then we created our projects page and entered a video and a GIF we did from quarter one and quarter two. Lastly we changed the entire color scheme of the website and changed the font.

How Long?

This project took a long time. I used my time very wisely in class. The videos were split up into fifteen minute segments. I usually got around two of them done per day. I was sick on Thursday and I got caught up in one class period. Although it did not take me very long to finish the project other people took longer because their computers were malfunctioning.

Any Challenges?

I faced many challenges. I could not get the font to float the way I wanted it to and it was very frustrating. Also for a short period of time I could not connect to the internet and my mouse was not working. Another time I could not open my website folder. But I eventually figured everything out.

What did I learn?

I learned that sometime you have to be patient. It was very frustrating when I could not open my website file. I learned that you have to be patient and everything will happen eventually. I also learned that it is not always as easy as it looks. When Mr.Olson floated the text i thought it would be easy. I was wrong. I found it very difficult to float my text.

Opinion?

I really liked this project.It was cool to create my ow website. I really liked how I could customize it and make it my own. It was very easy to follow along with the videos. The instructions were very clear. Overall a great experience!

I do not have any screenshots of my project.

Fourth Quarter Presentations

Where have I been? Hello! For the past few weeks I have been working on a project for e-Communications. I have been working with a group of four people to create a product that can be useful to the public. Our tea name was Company Incorporated and our product was the magic pack. We created some coupons and graphics and this will be at the bottom of this blog. How well did our Team work together? Our team worked together really well. We got things done on time and sometimes even a little bit early. The team was really good at deciding on things and making sure everything was fair. Everyone did their part. If one person needed help then they could ask for help and receive it almost immediately. We all were very good a solving problems. For example we had a small dispute over the 2D animation and it was resolved really quickly, because he had a good system for soling problems. Majority rules. It worked every time plus we had an odd number so we never ran into any problems regardi...

Final Blog

Our Final Project in e-Comm Our final project this year was a group project. We had to come up with a product, and make up graphics and a website to go along with it. Then once we had done that we had to present our product and the website to other students in second hour e-Comm in a shark tank fashion. This project took an entire quarter. It took so long because we had around one week to do certain parts of the project. We spent the most amount of time working on our graphics for our company and our website. While working on the graphics we ran into some problems. Our team disagreed on the way the website graphics should look, we had to make many comprimises. Along the way I learned that you really need to listen to other peoples ideas, others ideas can really help make the content stronger an more visually appealing. My team got really good feedback, everyone said it was put together very well and it was really interesting. We had to change many things on our website and that is w...

Multiplane Animation

Image
Creating My Animation The first thing we did when creating this animation was create a very long template in photoshop. Then we divided it into four sections. Each section was a different layer and each layer had to be different than the others. This was really difficult for me. The trees were very hard to make and they took a lot of time to copy and paste then and then merge then all onto one layer. I didn't like how the trees turned out. Animating the plane Before we animated we watched videos on how multi plane animation works. We watched videos on how they used to do it back in the day. I think it was really cool but it also took really long. Anyways after I created the base in photoshop I began to animate it in After effects. I did not really learn anything new. But it was really easy to animate. Overall  I think this was not my best project. I do not like the color scheme I think its too dark and gloomy. I also do not like the style. I also messed up the anim...
