Final Project


 Building this website was a very insightful experience. I really enjoyed learning how code and other factors go into making a functional website. We followed along with a series of videos that instructed us on what to do. We embedded two projects from this semester and reflected on our work. We also got to change the theme and customize our website.

I learned a great amount about Dreamweaver and how it works. Building a website is so much more than just typing and choosing a theme. You have to create a hook and put effort into it because if you mess up, your project could easily go down the drain. Code plays a big part in a website, I learned how to work with code and have the links in the website function correctly. If you follow instructions, building a website isn't extremely difficult.

 Overall, I think my project is adequate. Next time I would definitely try to be more creative and spend more time on the small details. It was a very engaging project. I would definitely like to work with Dreamweaver again. Building a website can be a long process, but in the end it is definitely worth it.

Color Wheel

Image
  For this project we had to recreate a color wheel. We included the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary colors. The Primary colors Yellow, Blue, and Red, make up all the other colors. Secondary colors are made up of the Primary colors and when you mix those two you get Tertiary colors. Of course there are thousands of shades, tints, and colors but these are just the basics.   We learned how to create shapes and text on Adobe Illustrator. Since we have worked with Photoshop before, we learned the similarities and differences between the two. If I were to do this project again I would try to be more creative with the colors and shapes. We learned how to work with some of the simple tools and how to create simple shapes and text boxes. I really enjoyed working with Illustrator and look forward to using it in the future.

Anatomy of Typeface

Image
   For this project we typed our name in Adobe Illustrator and made a diagram of the anatomy of typeface. I created red lines to represent the Baseline, X-height, and Caps height. I followed the instructions from a video provided by our teacher. I chose the colors red and blue because I felt the colors contrasted each other very well. We were instructed to point out at least thirteen parts of the anatomy including the Baseline and both X and Caps height.    We also learned about the importance of typeface. Typeface/font can have a huge influence un adds and flyers, it can really determine whether the public will take you seriously or not. Some fonts are known for their 'unprofessional' look, such as Comic Sans. Sans is french for 'without' which is usually used to state that a font does not have a serif. A serif is like a little tab that sticks out the of the end of a letter. Fonts with a serif include Times New Roman and Georgia. Fonts without a serif usually have s

Ten Words

  When asked what words I would use to describe myself, sarcastic and honest immediately came to my head. I can be very brutally honest and I believe that honesty is key to having healthy relationship with the people around you. I can also be extremely sarcastic, it is my way of communicating with my friends and family. Once I started brainstorming words like introvert, emotional, overthinking, movie junkie, passionate, confused, bad humor, and a mess came to mind. These words are ones that I feel define the worst and best parts of my personality.    For my animation I tried to be creative. For the words 'a mess' I tried to make it transition in a more messy way than the other words. As for the rest of the words I tried to mix it up. I made some words like honest enlarge. For the rest I did a normal transition like moving on to the page from different directions.
