Reflection

This semester of IMED has been very beneficial to me, I have learned everything from how to do basic editing of a photo to how to shoot and edit short length videos. I have never been a very artistic person but I believe technology such as photoshop and dreamweaver give everyone an opportunity to explore their more artistic side in very constructive and unique ways. Out of all the projects done I feel that my website had to be my greatest accomplishment along with my greatest challenge. making that website required me to learn about a completely new software as well as implement what I was learning to make a website that was not only visually appealing but also somewhat informative.

My Video

I am not currently sure what I want my video to be about but I would like to do a "How-To" video of some sort. I want to do something relevant to RCHS students such as being proactive, attendance, etc.

Reflections

Through creating my website I learned that websites are a lot more complex than they seem when simplified over the internet. Something that seems so simple and easy to navigate took long hours of preparation and lots of coding.

I found the end product very rewarding. All the time I put into Dreamweaver ending in a functional, cool website. The most challanging and frustrating part of the whole website making process was definitely the initial set up; saving files correctly, correctly naming files, linking folders to other folders, etc.

The next site I build will be a lot more simpler but aesthetically appealing. I feel like the site I did this time around looked nice but was very jumbled. I'd like to go for a more simplistic look to my next site.

Ideas for my webpage

I would like my webpage to display art styles such as grafitti, a multitude of artists from all genres, and different grassroots causes and organizations. I want my webpage to emphasize the new while not totally abandoning what got us here, the old.

What I learned

I learned of different elements of webpage design and ways to make my webpage not only attractive but very functional, imperative to a friendly user experience.

Lifestyles of the Rich

FLYING AWAY FROM THE CITYSCAPE!

I'm a hero flying off on my magical duck escaping the crumbling city. Today we dabbled in sizing and made very cool visuals using pictures we took ourselves, how liberating.
