Term2 Week 5

What I did today was:

  • Further used Aplets
  • Looked at Xara 3D: In this I created an animation. Saved it in the W drive so that I could view it in a page and then made changes in Xara to my satisfaction. After this I exported again the end product so that it could be viewed on a webpage.
  • Loaded consultscroll-text.txt to add to our website template I copied the code into my author webpage and in html view it shows scrolling text and I changed the background colour in code to make it the same colour as my web page.
  • Explored parameters.

Term 2, week 3

This list below is everything that I have learn' t to put into a web page to make it accessible to alot of people.

  • Nul and zero are different.
  • Never forget to use the Alt tag this is useful for not excluding blind people.
  • Always use Arial font as everybody has Arial on their computer.
  • Keep screen to 780 pixels as the highest resolution on computers is 800 pixels.
  • Big writing so that partially blind people can see.
  • No confusing colours as not to confuse people who are colour blind.

    Today also I created a 6 page web site. I have used Macromedia before so it wasn't too difficult. I was able to hyperlink to all of the pages, hyperlink every page back to the index page and hyperlink to the BRIT school web site.

    Term 2, week 2

    Last week I started my animation GIF and today like I said I would do in Animation shop I stitched my frames together.
    Then using copy and paste I repeated my frames to the end so that my animated GIF of my name would move in and out.
    Once finished I saved my animation in the W: drive added the name of my animation to the end of my website address and then linked it to my blog.

    I finished my GIF Animation today. Now you can view it here.

    Once again for almost the whole lesson Mr Hill talked and talked and I HATE that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Term 2 Week 1

    Todays lesson consisted of finishing things off (even though I didn't need to do this) and handing work in-Assignment 1.
    The interesting part of the lesson came when I got the chance to create my own animation GIF in Animation Shop. The animated GIF was of my name and in Paint Shop Pro I made my frames. Next week I'll stitch my frames together to complete the animation. Then I'll create a link to allow you to see it.
