Web Based Software Random Elements Page

The purpose of this assignment was to become more familiar with Dreamweaver. The content is all random, as you can see from the sources listed above. To create this page, we were required to use an AP Div, which holds all the content in one area of the screen.

Web Based Software Homepage

This website was created for my Web Based Software class as a landing page to link to pages we have created in class. These links are located in the links panel at the right. For this homepage, I wanted to keep it very simple, because the real content is found within the links.

using dreamweaver starter layouts

In my Web-Based Software class, we have been using Dreamweaver's Starter Layouts to create websites. For this assignment, we were required to make a site with three different starter layouts and link them to each other. The content was our choice, and the header photo I chose happened to be iStockphoto's free photo download of the week. Since I chose to use this photo for the header, I tried to think of a web site that would relate to the photo. The photo is very earthy and the girl's clothing really stands out, so I decided to make this web site for a fictional company, "green clothing co.". From there, I decided to make my required two linked pages for clothing and accessories.

walt disney world

In my Preflight and File Analysis class, our semester project is a brochure that folds down to 5" by 5.5". The right panel folds to center and the left panel folds just over center. There are several other requirements for this project. For example, it must include three crossovers. It's difficult to see what the finished piece will look like from the following flat previews, but try to visualize that the Walt Disney World banner will come together to form the front of the folded brochure and the mailing addresses will be on the opposite side. As the brochure opens, the photos on the "Parades" and "Resorts" flaps will crossover to the inside, which, when opened up, displays the majority of the information.

Today was the designated midterm check for this assignment, but I finished today and decided to turn the project in early to be preflighted.

Be on the lookout for my Departmental Academic Honors project for this class: I am in the process of designing a logo and stationary set for a local business.

a quick update...

I just wanted to make a post to introduce the new header, which includes a photo that was taken for my Photography 1 class. I just wanted to change things up from the old header to keep the blog fresh.

I also want to direct you to oh, deer 365, a personal challenge where I am attempting to post one photo every day for 365 days. This project has definitely been a true challenge so far, as I have found that I'm busier than I thought I would be this month. However, it's been rewarding to stick with it for the past ten days, and I'm excited to see where it will take me.

depth of field

In my Photography 1 class, our current assignment has a section focusing on depth of field. The assignment is to take a picture of similar objects using a shallow depth of field. For whatever reason, the first "object" I thought of was lipstick tubes, because I thought the incorporation of bright colors would add some interest to the photo.
This is what I ended up with, after a little Photoshop tweaking.

And because everyone needs a laugh every now and then, I will say that I took this on the steps outside my apartment on a nice, sunny day when everyone was out. Which means lots of people thought I was crazy when I was setting it up. Also, it was a bit windy, so they eventually all fell down, tumbling down the steps and getting all crusty (which is fine because I don't wear lipstick - these are all samples I got in the mail when I ordered other products). Also, because I'm in the habit of locking my doors, I locked myself out of my apartment and had to awkwardly ask my neighbor to card the door for me. All in all, I would say a lot went to this very simple shoot.

SAE Mini Baja

Yesterday, I designed a logo for the 2011 Baja SAE Kansas competition which will take place here in Pittsburg. Graphics and Imaging Technology students were encouraged to enter a logo design for the event, so I decided to give it a shot.

movie poster

In my layout and design class, we have been working on a project out of the textbook. For this project, we have been assigned to create a movie poster of a "classic" movie. This poster must include a quote from the movie of our choice and must be strictly typographical.

For this assignment, I chose a quote from Dead Poets Society, which was released in 1989. Since I wasn't alive in 1989, I'm considering it a classic movie.

professional portraits

My future father in law needed some portraits taken for professional purposes, so this weekend we took a couple quick shots that turned out really well. In this post, I'm including a color and black and white version of the same photo.
