Final Website

Finished my final web site today, now I just need to finish my flash movie.  Which is not going to well right now, I just need to get into there and play with the program a little bit more and I'll hopefully figure it out a bit better.

Hallmark smposium

We had a guest lecturer from hallmark come and speak to us today about the company and the some of the hallmark process. One of the things that I learned is that Hallmark has been around for almost a hundred and one years now, and has and still is family owned.  They pride themselves as a personal enrichment company.  I also didn't know that crayola was owned by hallmark.
The company makes over 6200 cylinders per year, which go through a de-chroming process after they're done being used. So they are sanded down, polished, and grinder finished. Cylinders lose their dimension after being sanded and polished so the cylinders have to be chrome plated to restore their dimension.

KOAM-TV symposium

Dale Switzer from KOAM was a guest speaker at the tech center today and spoke about design aspect of KOAM.  One thing I learned that I didn't know before was that KOAM was the first station in the four states to offer HD programming and since last july also broadcasted commercials in HD. Besides just putting shows on TV, KOAM also creates content in High Def. such as graphics and puts them on the screen.
There are a lot of different digital standards, this means that when broadcasters need to submit something like media, it has to be submitted with something readily available. A few years back a VHS was requested  because it was still readily and easily available.
Everything takes way more time than it seems, even a commercial that only lasts for 30 seconds might take 4 to 6 hours to create. What you might be expected to learn now is probably going to change is five years because technology is an ever changing beast and you have to keep up with it.

final website

This is my beginning page of my final web page. The website is called Natural Solutions and basically just gives you different options of natural remedies you could consume instead of pills. The banner across the top is a picture I took for one of my photography assignments that shows shallow depth of field. I then chose a color for the title that matched a color in the picture.

Went out and took pictures for my Photography class. This is one of my favorites it shows shallow depth of field. Haven't been able to work because I had surgery on Thursday.

weekend

long weekend. Didn't do anything besides work and go home. Was hoping to get more homework done but that didn't happen like I wanted it to, ha ha.

Catching up

Sitting in class trying to make sure I'm caught up on all of my work. I'm obviously not trying that hard if I'm blogging about it. I just want to get rid of the feeling that I'm always forgetting about something that I need to do or haven't done that should be done. Maybe like my five page paper that's due at 6:30 uuggghh.

The point of creating the starter pages was to be able to use the pre-built layouts and also to be able to link the main page to other pages and allow them to lead back to each other. This page one links to page two and three. Page two then links to one and three, and page three links to one and two. This assignment helped us to make a website more functional and make sure that you can always get back to the other pages. It also helped us create links to different pages better than we might have been before.
