HTMLoveing This Project

The Project
This was our final project in the animation portion of e9.  For our final, we did a web design project.  We had to make our own HTML website.  During this project, I was able to learn about HTML, coding, and web design.

The Technique
When making this project, we first started out using a template.  The, we modified the template.  In the text for out first page, I inserted an elevator pitch that we had done previously.  Next, we had to edit a photo of ourselves.  To create the next page, we copied the home page and edited the content.  For the projects page I added my projects and the text from my other blog posts.  Finally, we recolored the web pages.

What I learned
In doing this project, I learned about HTML, coding, and web design.  I learned how to create links to different web pages and external sites.  I was able to put my knowledge of graphic design to use by picking a color scheme and font themes.  If I were to do this project again, I would use a different color scheme, elaborate on my projects, and set up the web pages differently.  I might also add more web pages.

A-dooring this Project

The Project
For this project, we were working in Sketchup.  We had to create a 3D model of a house we found online.  I was able to learn how to use several new tools.  This project also helped me to get use to working in 3D software.

The Technique
For this project, I used a photo of a house online as my reference.  To make the house, I used the rotate tool, the line tool, the push/pull tool, the color tool, and the shape tools.  I had to measure the shapes I was creating and make sure that they matched the dimensions of the house online.  I had to use the measuring tool in order to check my dimensions and set certain objects an equal distance apart.  I also had to make sure that I was placing the shapes on the correct faces.

What I Learned
This project helped me get used to working in 3D.  I learned how to set the dimension of shapes and navigate my way around the software.  I learned how to move things around and rotate the camera as well.  If I were to do this project again, I would choose a different design for my house.  I would also change the colors.
