Assignment 18: The Wall

I did 3 sets of cards for The Wall. I stuck with a rather simplistic style rather than my usual style, to keep it with a simple card game vibe. My biggest technical skill for this final assignment was just straight out drawing. Overall, I met my goals, which was to design cards that could be used for The Wall :P The cards are ordered below from 1st to 3rd in the order of 1) Backs, 2) Destroy, 3) Reinforcement, and 4) Walls.

Assignment 17: Art Deco

I did my art deco as an advertisement for New York. I was torn between the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, but overall I'm glad I went with the Empire State Building. My most used technical skill was probably my use of gradients. I'm really proud of my clouds, I don't know why, but they make me happy.

Assignment 15: Interactive PDF

God, this was stressful. Turn outs my bookmarks were set to the wrong pages, so my buttons weren't working. Luckily I figured it out, and made a humorous interactive PDF of the Solar System. The buttons were my biggest technical skill for this assignment (and also the most annoying).

Assignment 14: E-mail Newsletter

It was fun to make something for Spud (even if half the information is outdated). My biggest problem was deciding on a background color, and I eventually decided to go with pink, like his pepto bismol. Tables were pretty easy to use, surprisingly. I was more put off by trying to put the file on the server again, but I eventually figured it out. That was probably my biggest used technical skill there. The only other skill I used was DreamWeaver. If I could change one thing, I'd take the contact info at the bottom and move it into that blank space in the right column, I didn't think to do that until it was too late.

Assignment 13: Content Management System

For my website, I made one for my club, Gamers Enjoying Each others' Company, or GEEC. It's laid out pretty simply, with an 'About' section, 'FAQ' section, 'Meeting Dates and Times' section, and a 'Contact' section. My only goal was to make a 4-page website, so I got that done :P Biggest technical skill was figuring out how Wordpress works, but once I got started, it was pretty simple.

Assignment 12: Sliced Web Page

This assignment wasn't hard, but it was kinda boring to be honest. But I achieved my goal, I sliced up a website that I made a few years ago as part of an internship, and then I put it together using CSS coding. The coding had to have been my biggest technical skill, since that was literally more than half of the assignment.

Assignment 11: Slam Covers

This has been one of the more fun assignments so far. My goal was to make 2 or 3 covers that illustrated either student life or the arts, while sticking to the school's colors of tan, gray, and/or maroon. My biggest technical skill was clipping masks, which I used to make the shadows on both posters.
