CSS and CARP Design

      This latest project was a web project. I started using HTML and ending in HTML. It was a learning process for me because I'm not very savvy when it comes to web design. Most of he steps were already written out, so that made things a lot easier. This was all based around a poem, and by applying CARP, the poem looks much better and captivates the reader.

Contrast

     Contrast was used through colors based off the dog as well as the style of text. Some text is bold, and other text is italics. Some colors are darker and other are lighter. The main background is black, but the body, or second background, of the poem is a lighter tan. The heading of the poem is a lighter color than the poem. 

Alignment

     The body of the poem is lined up with the credits at the bottom. The title is lined in the middle with other parts of the title underneath. At the top, there is a link that is aligned with the poem and the credits. 

Repetition

     The title and the credits are the same color. All the colors originate from the dog, repeating a theme. The link at the top has the same color as the body and the title. 

Proximity

     Everything is spaced out evenly from each other. The dog is outside of the body, combining the background with the body. The title is separated by space and font style to create proximity. The stanzas are evenly spaced from each other, making everything else look even. 

Conclusion

     I learned how to apply CARP with web design in HTML. I did have to go into the code a little bit, but it was to make the font Georgia appear on the page. I think CSS is fun to mess around with every once in a while, but not something I want to do everyday. 

E9 Quarter 2 Web Project

 

My Home Page

Overview

      For my semester project, I learned how to build a website using Adobe Dreamweaver. I first started out with a pre-made template created by the teachers, then I started putting in a photo of myself along with entering my"elevator pitch" assignment where I was to create an "elevator pitch" describing myself and my talents. I then created a second page with my best projects from the semester. I included one of my animations, and my chase scene video. Once that was done, I put in some web links like my blog, my high school website, and the e-Com website. Once all of that was finished, I began to design the page by changing the text colors and changing the fonts. Once that was all done, I took a screenshot of my home page and my projects page.

What Did I Learn? 

My Projects, or "best of" page

     First of all, I learned how to make a website without using a website like Wix. It's astonishing to me that I created my own website through Adobe Dreamweaver. I also leaned more about codes and what some of the codes mean. At first, the coding looked like a big, complicated, big bunch of weird nonsense, but as I started learning what some of it meant, the code wasn't as complicated or a whole bunch of weird nonsense. Code, from what I learned, is like any other language. At first it won't make sense, but as I learned it, it started making sense and I started to understand it better.

My Opinion

     Overall, I think I did pretty well. Some of the coding was a bit tricky when it came to stylizing the links, but once I figured that out, everything else was easy. I really enjoyed this project, and I would probably do it again just for fun. learning about code was one of the more essential focuses of this project, and I enjoyed it. Honestly, I had a grand time with this project and look forward doing a similar one in the future.
