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.
Assignment 10: Shape Animation
I enjoyed this assignment. My goal was to make an animation of a sword being made, and then put together. Obviously, making a real sword would be way more complex than what's shown in this 30-second animation, but you get the general idea. I think the technical skill I used the most would be clipping masks, which I used for that orange 'flow' in the beginning.

Assignment 9: Thematic Text
This assignment was pretty easy, but I had no idea how to change the shapes to look like lava. What does lava look like, anyways? It's lumpy, isn't it? I feel like it's lumpy. But I met my goals, so I'm good. What technical skills did I use? Ummm.... font and an eraser. And clipping. Yeah. That works.
Assignment 8: Tablet Drawing
This was a really fun assignment for me, since it was purely drawing. And I'd say I met my goals. I wanted to draw picture, I drew a picture. It's a blaze from Minecraft. I don't know what else to say about it. So... yeah. Hope you had a good weekend. Btw, for anyone who doesn't know, multiply layers are great for shadows.
Note: I realized I somehow lost the .psd file for this, so I turned in two other drawings to the M-drive. Sorry about that.

Assignment 7: Galleria
Since the assignment said we only needed to edit the website with a background, header, content, and footer, I didn't bother switching out the pictures (lord knows they're better than any pictures I have). I had a learning curve with this at first, as it's been a while since I've used DreamWeaver extensively, but I managed to meet all my goals. I couldn't get it to upload to the server however (It says it's connected to the server but it won't show up on the server when I hit upload, I'm sure I was doing something wrong) so I've put the folder in the M-drive, just to be safe.
Assignment 6: Pop-Up Photo Gallery
Not much to say on this one. Everything went really smoothly for the most part, it was more time consuming than anything. My only problem was shadows, and I managed to figure that out well enough (turn out I forgot to set the light's "Cast Shadows" to 'On'). Beyond that, I met all my goals.
