Website Portfolio Project

Website Portfolio Project

Overview

After all we have done this year in e9, we were assigned with creating a website on Adobe Dreamweaver to showcase all of our work for the semester. This website we would be creating would have two pages; one that was a main page, and talked about us, and then another page that was completely dedicated to our projects in e-Comm. Both of these pages were also accompanied by a sidebar, footer, links, and headers that we had to edit and change ourself.

How We Did It

This project on Dreamweaver was able to teach me a lot about the program, along with how to make a layout look pleasing to the eye. We started the project by changing the necessities of a web page, which are headers, a sidebar, and a footer. All of these aspects helped to make the page look much more presentable and professional. After this, we imported a picture of us, and our "Elevator Pitch" into the main page. These would help to serve as an introduction for the people entering our website. We then learned how to embed links into our sidebar, so we could access other important links, as well as our projects page. We then moved on to our projects page, and began to put in all of our best work from throughout this year. This included multiple projects involved with Graphic Design, and Animation. Once we had done this, we were able to focus more on the design of our web page, and began to change the color of our background. Once we had come up with a color scheme that we liked, we started to change the colors and fonts for the writing in our website. We also learned how to change the colors of the links in our sidebar. This required us to choose a color for when the link has been activated, when it is being hovered over, along with a starting color. Once we had completed this, we tweaked and changed our design until we were happy with our webpage.

Conclusion

I actually really enjoyed making this webpage, which I wasn't really expecting. I thought I would hate the code aspect of Dreamweaver, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I enjoyed the fact we had all the power of making our website look exactly how we wanted it. There were a lot of different aspects we could change to make our website unique and creative. As a whole, I thought the project went pretty well, and I didn't have too many issues with the program once I got going. This project was an enjoyable experience for me, and I am very pleased with how my website looks. Even if this is all I learn in web design, I am still glad I did this project because I think it is very valuable to have the knowledge of how to make a website. This was a great introduction into web design.

My Personality Type

ISTJ My personality type is ISTJ. This means I am introverted, sensing, thinking, and judging. People who are classified as an ISTJ are typically very analytical, reliable, and detail-oriented. They tend to value logical reasoning rather than emotional. They tend to prefer to be alone at times, and keep their thoughts to themselves. These people like to use processes that are proven to work, and also like to rely on their past experiences. Some famous people who share this personality type are George Washington, Queen Elizabeth II, and George H.W. Bush. As a whole, I believe this description of me is almost spot on. I think the quiz is definitely correct when it says I am introverted, and prefer to look at logic when reasoning. I believe I am definitely dependable and detail-oriented, but I think I also have some qualities of perceiving, to go along with judging. For example, I always try to not over schedule things, and I work pretty well under pressure. As a whole, I though t...

Typography Project

Typography Overview In this project, we were approached with the task of creating a project to show different terms of typography by using Adobe Illustrator. Before we started, we were given some basic knowledge about typography. This included different fonts, and parts of letters. We were then able to use some of our prior knowledge about Adobe Illustrator to create a name line to show our newfound knowledge. This project once again I believe was a very good stepping stone in my knowledge and I think it will be very useful in the future. What I learned For this project, we started off by writing our names and sizing it appropriately, and then making three lines to represent the general height of different parts of the letters. We then labeled different parts of our name with words and arrows. Once again, the command "Option-Drag" was very useful, as it helped us copy and paste our labels easily. After we had labeled at least ten parts of our name, we tweaked the l...

ONW Now Sophomore Edition

This was definitely the hardest project we've done this year. Not only was the time schedule very hard to meet, but there was also just a lot of things that had to be done. I definitely learned a lot about all the work that goes in to making a good news show. I learned how much goes on behind the scenes, such as what is done in the control room and with the camera and teleprompter. Personally, I really enjoyed working in the control room for this project. It was definitely a lot of pressure to work completely on the go. I had a huge part in the live recording of the show, which was definitely stressful, but I still enjoyed it. After doing this project, I would say the most important aspect of a successful news show is organization. It is extremely important for everybody to know exactly what their job is so they can execute perfectly. It is also very important to have good communication among your crew. For example, we didn't do a great job at communicating with our anchors...
