MY WIX! (:

Last Update

I would like to begin first by saying that this  class was a true journey. I've learned so much about the media world that I probably never would have encountered prior to enrolling in this course. There were definitely a few moments where I got discouraged because my classmates were more advanced than I was in the curriculum but Professor Curtiss constantly worked with me and checked up on my progress. Although I did not come out of the class with the insight that I had hoped to gain, however, I learned a lot about dreamweaver and Photoshop and several other tech applications that I look forward to learning more about in the future. I truly appreciate all that I have gained from this class and having a wonderful instructor who was understanding and persistent in seeing that we understood the material.

Website Progress Update: 10/14/12

Recently in my multimedia course we have been working on building websites, both personal and professional. I have gained quite a bit of insight on making well designed websites and how to link page to different tabs on my webpage. Also, I have learned how to host my website so that it is "internet worthy" as I like to call it. I am currently working on completing my pretty little liars fashion site. It is very enjoyable and fun, however I do get a bit irritated because it is a working progress for me and my other classmates have already finished their websites in full. I think my main problem is that I want my website to be above and beyond but I forget to keep in my mind that I am not a professional yet, therefore I must settle for something a bit more simple until I am capable of creating a mind-blowing website as I plan to. Another very frustrating factor in creating my website is having great ideas in my head and not knowing how to do it in DreamWeaver. I do feel that my instructor guides me as much as she can but considering that I am not comfortable asking questions when I feel that I can figure it out on my own, I tend to lag behind. Eh...suppose asking wouldn't hurt though. On my next website, which I plan o dedicate towards my senior capstone project, I will be creating a website that communicates with awareness among low income families with a child who has cancer. I look forward on getting started on this website and hopefully get it completed.

Blog Update: Web Design

Recently we have been working in dreamweaver learning how to create and design websites. So far, we have only acquired the skills on how to create badly designed websites... haha(: However, I look anticipate on learning how to do more cool things and begin working on my fashion blog! I greatly appreciate this experience and the projects we do because different programs and applications that I was never really interested in before now. It's very exiting!

9/6 Blog Update: Website

I have recently inquired how to alter the html (which I learned stands for hypertext markup language) on web pages to make something appear in a specific way. For instance, now I know how to italicize text on a website by adding <i> directy after the heading in the html and </i> in order to close the itlalic. Although, so far I only apprehend how to change the text features on a website, however I look forward to learning so much more! My website will be a fashion blog for teenage fashionistas, boys and gals alike(: I am really exited about getting started on this project. I can't wait to get creative and show my skills! And who knows, maybe my my website will go worldwide and everyone across the globe with a passion for fashion will know about "ourgenertionlovesswag.com"

Aaron Carter BEFORE AND AFTER

 Doing this was not my favorite project but I did learn how to liquify and how much photoshop can completely distort the appearance of a person.

My skunkbird!(: Doing this project was very easy although I was not sure what I wanted to make my bird look like. After playing around with the warp I saw that my bird started to look a bit like a skunk. So...I went with skunkbird!

I absolutely loved doing this project. It was very interesting and I am pleased with my work. I deeply appreciate my instructor for introducing me to the skills and ideas I used with making this project!
Although this project was not one of my favorites, I still enjoyed learning how to select particular items from a photo and paste them to another. It was really cool and I got very exited when I realized I was actually doing it correctly(: I feel as if I could have been a little more creative with this project but I like the advertisement and I plan on adding a little more style to it later on.

Summer

Over my summer break, I happened to have spent a generous amount of time resting and preparing myself for the upcoming school year. Initially I wanted to hang out with friends and enjoy the summer, however, after realizing how much I needed  to do before school started I sort of neglected my friends in order to get things done. Although I did not do a lot of miscellaneous activities, I do feel accomplished  the things I did get done.
