CSS and CARP design

Introduction

In this assignment I used the rules of CARP (contrast, alignment, repetition and proximity) to fix a generic html with a poem on it to make the newer, better looking, version of this page. Some differences included changing the text and background color to match the dog. I used the same colors for multiple areas on the page to make it look clean and the same all the way through. I also changed the size of text around the page it fit it better, and to wrap around the picture of the dog.



Contrast

Some differences referring to contrast included changing the text and background color to match the dog. I used the same colors for multiple areas on the page to make it look clean and the same all the way through. The darker brown text stood out against the light tan background. The black border around the page brought a neutral color that wasn't brown to the page, pulling the poem and other elements together.

Alignment 

To make the page aligned and flow all the way through, I subtly wrapped the text around the picture of the dog and made the picture smaller so its not overpowering to the rest of the page. To make the text look clean and cut, I started all of the lines on the left, which caused the look of a perfect line going down the page, bringing it together.

Repetition 

I used repetition in both alignment when making all of the lines start on the left side and when making most the colors shades of brown, white, and black from the dog. All of theses things brought the page together and made everything fit.

Proximity

To make a page clean looking uses a lot of proximity. All text was kept the same size except for the headings. Every line was also evenly spaced and between each paragraph was double the space. The black border around the outside was the same size line all the way around.

Conclusion 

I learned how to use CSS when designing by using multiple parts of CARP design. Using all of the aspects together makes a clean, good looking, end product. I learned the importance of paying attention to detail and using repetition throughout a whole product.

Final Reflection

Semester 2 Final Reflection Some videos I made this year: "This is Gospel" Music video:            I made this project at the beginning of the semester. The goal was to recreate a famous music or create your own. My film group decided to recreate the music video for "this is gospel" by Panic at the Disco. We were given one month to finish the project. After a few minor throwbacks, we were given another week to finish completely.           Some challenges I faced with this project include scheduling conflicts, people in my group not coming to school, and time management issues. It was difficult to get our group of 4 people together to film because we all had busy schedules. When we decided on days to film, someone became sick and had to be absent for many days. This made filming very difficult because we needed 4 people exactly. Sometimes we would have to call someone from a different group to come help us. Our team pushed...

end of year reflection

  End of year project Overall thoughts       The project I spent the fourth quarter on was creating a fake product and company to sell in a “shark tank”. The project tested my abilities in video, animation, and graphic design as I had to use all three of these media’s to sell my product. This project took around 3 months to finish and present.        Over the three months, I faced challenges with collaborating with others efficiently, (as this was a 4 person group project) but I learned to appreciate how other people can add on to a simple idea. After some criticism from my teammates, I was able to made the best fitting commercial, logo, and package design for our product “chip”. No first draft was put in the end presentation as we made so many changes in the working time. I am impressed with my work and my teams work this last quarter.  Class time       During the time I was given to work during class I ...
