Responsive web design intro

What is responsive web design? Responsive web design is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing and interaction experience. Why has responsive web design become so important? RWD has become important throughout the 2000's because of the invention of the handheld phone. With this device, without RWD it would be very difficult to see/read the actual site and how it was originally made. The media queries change depending on what device that you switch to. break points are when someone discovers a new way to display their responsive website.

Above is an example of a responsive website. This image shows how the site looks on a phone, laptop, iPad, and computer. On the computer the website expands farther across the bigger the screen is.

This photo shows a website that is on the phone. On this phone the website will be much longer and will take more time to scroll through. 

On this tablet it shows how it equals all out and makes everything look normal and well finished.

Photo Composition

 I have enjoyed creating this photo composition project. This project has been very entertaining and has taught me many web design skills that i think i can use in other projects. First off we took pictures that used photo composition skills and then applied them in our project. We then created the main layout of our project to put our photos into. After that we made our site responsive, which means that it would adjust to whatever device the user was on. Here is a photo of my main homepage of the website.

renewed website

In this project I chose a templet from a popular website and then turned it into a Olathe Northwest website. The website I chose was Teslas main homepage. I then turned it into a Olathe Northwest website but using the same layout.Basically i just made different banners and images to replace the teslas ones.

Past Present Future

This project was overall pretty tough. I did not really finish this exactly because I got confused on what we were supposed to do. I thought we were supposed to put all of the information all on one page instead of putting it in different links. The scope of this project was to create a site about ourselves and to give an insight about what our past was about, what we are doing right now, and what we think we will be doing in the future. The link below will be to the project that I created.

topic review

Snake topic 

The scope of this project was to create a site about a interesting topic that we wanted to create a site about. First we had to create multiple pages for our site to explain the topic more in detail. After we did that we created links to different pages about the topic. Then we uploaded all of it onto our index page. I learned that you can change the names of your links and they will still go to the same site. I would make my format a little different next time and i would make my font black. Next time i would keep the snake skin background because that was pretty cool. Overall i think this project was pretty fun and not to hard.

Semester Review

     This semester at Olathe Northwest High School we learned many new things that we can apply to our every day lives as well as our upcoming semester in video. The most important things we improved on this year would probably be our editing skills. On every project that you work on in video you will most likely have to edit your film before you put it not the timeline. Last year we learned how to edit, but this your we vastly improved our editing skills and really dug into how to do everything on the timeline. Another important asset that we learned this year was the rule of thirds. This helped s out a lot when in a interview we needed to show the audience who they are watching and listening to. This year we were able to apply all of the shortcut keys that we learned in last years video class so it will improve or speed and quality of our projects while working. My favorite project that we did would have to be the one where you got assigned a person to write a story over and really got to know them better. I was assigned Will Vestal as my partner and I got to learn how his baseball skills have affected his life and others around him. He did his story over me, which i told him about my amazing Guitar Hero skills and abilities that lead me to be a great video game player. Most of my elements that I applied in my projects worked and turned out to help my project in the long run. This semester we didn't learn very much but we did improve all our skills that we learned last year by a vast amount. I really think that my social skills and Collaboration with teammates improved greatly this year because we have done more group projects and projects that required us to work with a team and really lean on each other. I really ended up enjoying all the things we learned in this class and all the projects that we have completed throughout the course of this semester. Next semester i am going to try and focus on our tasks provided and not get off task talking to other people or working on other things but other than that I'm going to do everything i did this semester because it turned out to be pretty good and I turned out to get pretty good grades on my projects that I am happy with and would want to increase the grade on them a little bit for the next semester but that would be it. Next semester I hope to learn new elements that will improve my learning and increase my quality on projects that we will do in the future so when i get out into the real world i will remember all the things i learned and be able to apply them to my job.
