cool stuff I learned from project 2
rounded corners in CSS
Just add these to your div code:
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
Transparency in CSS
Just add these to your div code:
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
*rgba=red, green, blue, alpha. Just change the value from 0.1-0.9
Auto redirect to another page:
Place this in the .php form after the “head” tag
META HTTP-EQUIV=”Refresh” CONTENT=”0;URL=http://www.oswego.edu”>
* the value after content and before the url signifies the amount of seconds before the redirect
Project 2
Project 2 “Brand x: Personal Super Computer”: microsite, html email, and mobile site
Feedback
Micro site
- expand yellow dot background
- ground illustrations with absolute bottom/or frame
- product image could break border as seen in emailer. If so, then create one content box instead of two
Mobile site
- make content scalable
benpetrie.com
Yes I have my own domain name now through bluehost.com. I have uploaded my first Web II project to the site and I have also added wordpress to it. The only problem I have with the wordpress is linking it to this blog.
Project 1
I did some design changes to make the site more visually interactive and created a navigation that was more accessible. The critique went well with feedback mainly concerned on the arrangement of the content and the header
Feedback
- Create a border around the content or use color to separate the site from the background.
- Create a header that bleeds into the content.
- Center the page.
- Animate the navigation.
- Use rounded corners.
- Change font size: body, larger and captions smaller.
- Apply a grid or organize the content to break it to relate to the header design.
417 project 1, getting started.
Had a rough time coming up with a concrete idea for the first project. I had plenty of ideas, but I had to work through them to get where I am now. And now I think I have a good direction. The interface will have some inspiration from the visuals of 2001 A Space Odyssey and Pink Floyd’s, The Dark Side of the Moon. I think they may work around the theme of “inspiration”.
New year, New semester, and a New post
I have finished my CSS warm up exercise. I didn’t complete it as well as I wanted, because I didn’t really manage my time well. On the other hand I did learn something from it to streamline my coding.
Looking forward to the first web project because I want to try a Flash navigation and I have yet to use Flash in web.
Already thinking of project 3. A friend at work is looking at starting his own witch store. Yes thats right witch store, he is a high priest of his covenant. If everyone is good on this I can start getting ideas together and talking about it to help me later on in the semester when we have to do it.
Project 1
with revisions as suggested from critique.
le espanol profesora…
…gusta le comic-sans (i think thats how ya say it)
My Spanish teacher likes comic-sans, she uses it for all the handouts and exams.
Just makes me smile knowing how much its loathed by the design community (including Devin)
Exercises 1-4
Exercise 1
Exercise 2 and 3
Exercise 4
I think I enjoyed using the div tags for layout over using tables. Slicing went ok but I think I need a little more practice at it.
dOH!
Well web was going ok till I went a deleted my server files on my web host. Though at the moment my email that is connected to it is still there. Just gotta pay more attention in future
