My Dreamweaver Website

This is my website I made in Dreamweaver. We first had to connect to the server and locate our file. I had to pick one project form graphic design and one project from animation. I don't have anything under the video heading because I haven't taken video yet. After placing all the files I had to edit the HTML pages. It really isn't as hard as it sounds. I typed in my name and used a level 1 heading. Then for the other titles I used level 2 headings. The tricky part was making a link from my home page to my project page. Thanks to the "drag the point-to-file icon" and Mr. Olson I was able to make a link to the other pages. It was first in black and white, but it needed some color. To add the color I had to find the CSS panel. Under the CSS panel I clicked "background" to change the color and when I liked the color I clicked OK. I did the same thing for the text color and the sides of the webpage. For the font I clicked the #wrapper also in the CSS file and then picked the font I wanted. Then I made a few minor changes when I was done and that was all!

My Personal Logo

A few weeks ago in e9 we had to design a personal logo that described us. We learned about what different colors and shapes mean in a logo and how it can affect the look of the design. I choose to type my initials. I made my type smaller on the "m's" because I wanted the "H" to stick out, thats also why I made it pink. Pink represents friendliness, inner peace, and harmony. I choose to enclose it all in a circle because it is known as the perfect shape. It is like pure perfection.

Portfolio Reflection-Animation

Hammer Project In this project I learned how use the polygonal transformation manipulator tool, how to extrude, and how to subdivide polygon faces. I was able to learn this project by watching our teacher do a quick explanation/ tutorial and by reading the directions typed on google classroom. I picked this project because I spent a lot of time on the hammer's head and this project turned out better than I thought it would, especially the shadows. My greatest strength during this project was patience because when I was extruding, my hammer was not doing what I wanted it to do. My weakness during this project was would be not making the green take up more of the picture, because there is too much black. I have improved because I have the right shadows. I will take my learning of the manipulator tool and extrude tool to my next projects. I would change the background so there would not be so much black. This project helped me prepare for other projects by practicing the manipula

What is Graphic Design to me? To me graphic design is visual communication to the world. It is also a way to communicate to people without having to talk to them. I think graphic design is unique because you can make it anyway you want. It can be bold or quite, loud and annoying, pink, green, circle shaped or triangle shaped. There are no rules in graphic design so you can make it your own and let your imagination do the work. You get to make it your own, however you want it. http://www.aiga.org/what-is-design/
