I also did not get project 2 done the way I wanted. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but even after I got the programming worked out, it still took a lot more leg work just putting it together than I had thought it would.
The 5 meg limit also threw me off as I had not planned for that. But that makes sense, you can't make a website too big or it won't load up well. Well, good practice.
And I didn't realize how big an animated gif can get if you don't pay attention to how you put it together. Well, I know now :P

Second Project

Well Project 2 was due this past Thursday and I did not manage to complete the assignment on time. While reading what other fellow students wrote I read one entry that I agree with 100%. When creating/designing a website one has many possibilities to design it the way they want. In this course we have gone through several exercises that have taught me a lot, and all this acquired knowledge has just added to all the possibilities. Katie stated it perfectly “However, now I feel as though my brain has been overloaded with such a variety of choices that I don't even know where to begin with it all.” While working on the project I could honestly say that I was too indecisive. I would constantly be making little changes and at times I restarted the whole project because I would have a new idea and at one point I had to restart from the very beginning because my computer crashed (this past Monday). This project taught me a valuable lesson and that is to save your work twice (on the pc and in a flash drive or external hdd just in case). Overall this project has been fun and challenging. Now that I have failed to meet the deadline I have until Tuesday to complete the assignment.

Project 2

...I'm not quite sure where to begin with how I feel about this project.
I am always very excited upon every new assignment, especially ones that include creative exploration... I have had hundreds of different ideas - small things, little techniques, newly acquired skills and even the application of principles learned in other courses.
However, now I feel as though my brain has been overloaded with such a variety of choices that I don't even know where to begin with it all.

I am still very excited for the end product of this project and all associated exercises - though I do have plenty of work to still do prior to its completion.

It seems like everyone has tremendously excelled leaps and bounds from our initial html exercises - just from the surrounding views I have seen. I cannot wait until all have been sent in!

Now that I am finally getting the hang of dreamweaver, I don't want to move on to the next thing; I'm just so ecstatic in the knowledge I have from this!

Project 2 update

My diligence has paid off! My project 2 is coming together and I am just about finished. I had fun and learned alot from exercise 7 and have a few tricks up my sleeve. It feels good when you see your work pay off and everything comes together. So, until next time....

Excercise 6 and 7

New technique had been introduced from exercises 6&7. Rollover was really cool, i will add it on my project#2. I'm working on project#2 but still have some difficulties with the design. Need to work harder.

I notice some guys have a bit of creative block for pjt 2, or aren't sure exactly what to put into the web site.
I also wasn't sure how to flesh mine out, so I took a creative liberty.

Amongst other things, my website will cover how I fight zombies.
We all gotta have a hobby right?

C'mon, it's an art class. Let your imagination do it's thing.

Rollovers

Creating rollover images was very exciting because it is a big change from simple text boxes in HTML coding. Rollover images are also very exciting to look at and gives a webpage much more style. Exercise 7 was interesting to work on; I always thought that it would be extremely complicated to create a show/hide website. However, after working on it on Dreamweaver it became so simple.
