Super Sites

With Mini Project 3 being due soon, I started browsing the internet for websites I could include in my project.

Then I started thinking, I want to feature the coolest of cool website for my 4th generation site.
So obviously I googled, "Really cool website designs."
But instead of the websites themselves popping up- the creators themselves did.
The coolest design firm I found was Harbr, of course they dropped the "o" because they are just way to cool for "o's."
Of course Harbr's website design was very cool because that is obviously what they do. As you scroll down their website tells a story with great images and few words.

I really like how their site is mostly images and has few words. Everything is large and as you scroll the images and words tell a story.

Here are some more examples of their work:

Website Design

I found an article that lists 10 crucial elements for a website. I found this article very interesting and helpful.
The ten elements the article lists are:

• Space
• Simple Navigation
• About Us
• Contact Information
• Call to Action
• Search
• Informational Footer
• Style for Buttons
• Great Images
• Web Fonts

The most important ones that I took away from the article that will be helpful for me as I am working on my next project are space, great images, about us and call to action.

Hey, that works!

I recently completed my unit one project! WOOHOO!🙌

My organization that I chose is Safe Haven Tarrant County and the event is Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.

The process of making my poster board was pretty fun. I knew going into it that I didn't want to have to spend alot of money on supplies so when I began brainstorning I started to think about what I had around the house.

Here are some of the things I found that I thought might be useful:

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

My first thought was... I'm screwed.

But then I began thinking about how I could make it work.






I would use the bed sheets as the background and spray paint it. Use the swiffer refills as the road and spray paint those. Then I would create heels and feet with the bubble wrap, folders and sticky notes. Cut out pictures from the magazine and paste them together to make an image of a man wearing heels and I would take polaroids of shoes!

And VOLA!

Photoshop Man...

Photoshop and I have a love hate relationship.



Every time I use it, I mess up, press the wrong button, or press so many buttons that my computer crashes.

But listen up photoshop, I am not giving up!

So far in our relationship, Photoshop wears the pants.
But that is all about to change as I get further into the semester in Multimedia Authoring.
Recently I seem to have mastered "filters." My favorite filter so far is the paint filter. The paint filter turns every boring picture into a work of art.

This is an image I created for one of my mini-project in class. I used the paint filter, sharpening, pixilate, a little bit of blur and I even added text.

Take that Photoshop!
