Bio/Project 8, Web Design

This is what we've worked on for about the past month. We've done a lot of learning for this, and I am actually very proud of what I've made. We learned first about CARP, the 4 rules of all graphics. Contrast, Alignment, Repition, and Proximity. With this you can easily make a really good graphic. We learned about the "<div>" tag, which is used to separate different parts of your website. In order to make the styles uniform, we learned about CSS files, which tell a website how it should look, and how to make one. There are actually 3 types of incorporating CSS into a website; built into a div, built into the top of the website, or a separate file. We've mostly used the top, but this time we used a separate file.

For the picture, we all went out to the hallway to get our pictures taken. We then color corrected and cut out the photo. This is the picture I used.










We also used a background tiling image, where we took a picture of concrete and used various tools to make it seamless. We also used some color correction tools to blur it out as to not take attention away from the actual content of the page. This is the picture I made.




I didn't really run into any issues, other then missing a few class periods due to band. I also had some technical problems which I needed help with. Next time I will make the CSS file use better colors, because I don't think that the font colors I picked are very pretty or appealing.

Multi-Plane, Animation

This is my multilane project. I have spent the longest on this project then i have the others, but that's because I spent far longer on the little details of the building then I can now see I rushed a few parts of it. If you can't tell the little island I have made is based from Tropico, the video game series.
When starting we learned about how Walt Disney invented the first multilane camera, which gave different layers a more realistic feel because they moved at different paces, just like real life objects do. I ran into an issue with actually animating it, because of how I made the island symmetrical and normally its not. But I think I made it work.
