The Eight Core Web Fonts and Hexadecimal Color Codes - Web

Recently, we have been going more in depth into the wonders of web design by creating two more websites with the application TextMate. We made a page for hexadecimal color codes and a page for the 8 core web fonts that are used in web. 

These projects helped me to understand and get familiar with writing the HTML by hand before we get to use Dreamweaver, which writes a lot of the code for you.

These are the pages I made-


I used dividers (<div>) to create both the rainbow boxes and the boxes around the text on the font page.

Positive Values at ONW - Video

For our first project in video, we were tasked by Dr. Zuck to create a video that shows students how to act at school. I chose to show how to help people in a small but meaningful way. The first step was to story board what my partner and I wanted the video to look like. All though it was just stick figures, it helped us to under stand what we were going to shoot and to not waist time. Then, for the next two days, we shoot the video. The next few days were spent editing the video and adding the sound to create the final product. During the process of creating this video, I learned a great deal on how to operate the cameras and editing software that we hadn't used last year. For my next video I will try and shoot more different types of shots for B-role.

Here are a few screen shots from my video!




And this is my video

Then and Now - Web

With this project, the first of my sophomore year, I was tasked with using the wayback machine to look at how popular websites have evolved over the years in both look and code.

Youtube-

Then



Now



                       


The famous logo and colors haven't changed much but YouTube has changed a lot over the years. It started out as a dating site and is now the largest video sharing platform in existence. On the surface, it has changed too many things to count . But if we look at the code we can see several changes. For example, they used tables to format everything and now they use containers.

   Facebook-

Then



Now



On the surface, facebook has changed its overall color, design, and audience. The code hasn't changed much, but has become much more complicated overall.

Gregg Riess Photography-

Then



Now




Gregg Riess Photography became more modern and easier to understand. The code, on the other hand, has become drastically more complicated and does a lot more for the site.

e9 Final Project

For our final project, we were placed into groups based on our personality. We all created a product that people would want. Through out fourth quarter, we created a video, an animation, a graphic, and a website for the product. My group, P.I.M.I.J., created The D.E.W. (Daily Eyebrow Waxer). With our DEW, you would never have to pay for an eyebrow waxing again.

My group worked well with doing each of our specialties. But we could of done better assigning jobs. If we were to do it again, we would use our time to make a better video. We have all improved in our focus areas.


During our first rotation, we created this animation.


We made this video in our second rotation




In the third rotation, we made this graphic

Orthogonal Cubes

I made this cube in Illustrator with a tutorial from Lynda.com. I started with one line, rotated it and dragged it across the cube to create it.
