Scott McCloud

 

Scott McCloud is my artist that I am focusing on for this web page design project.

Above is a moodboard that pretty much sums up the person and achievements that is McCloud. I really focused in on his accomplishments as far as his "inventions" that he came up with. For example the "24 hour comic" challenge was actually started by him along with the infinate canvas, the big triangle, 5 card Nancy game, along with the rewriting of the "Bill of Rights for Creators". 

For the comic world, Scott McCloud has done a huge share of getting us all from where we were to where we are now as comic artists. From his How To books about comics to his actions on defending artist's hard work, he's done a lot.

CSS 101 part 2; In Class

We were suppose to walk ourselves through a CSS practice sheet and there were tons of codes showing the many ways that you can alter your HTML page.

A few of those things are for example making it so that when a user is on your HTML page, they can put their cursor over a link and the link will change color so that they are aware that it is in fact a link. Another little trick is that you can also write a code that will make it so that if they do navigate to that link, if they were to click back the link would have changed color so that the user knows that they have already been to that link.

They also had a lot of information about margins, padding and spacing. They had examples of the long way of typing it as well as the shorthand more practical way of typing margins. Along those lines they also showed how you can have a background that is repeated but also no-repeat, so you just have black background. There is going to be a lot of memorization that's going to be involved in learning to do CSS properly, but a lot is just repeated so it shouldn't be too bad. Just a lot of info at once.

HTML In class work

In class we are talking about how you create a HTML page.
Honestly I thought it was going to be incredibly hard but it's actually quite easy.

In Class Project!

We had been assigned to photoshop ourselves into an ad in a magazine so I chose this Downy advertisement.

It's suppose to look like she is jumping out of my closet and I was going to put a warning label in the top left hand corner warning buyers that this could happen if product is used.

404 Error Page

For the past few weeks I've been working on the 404 Error page for Red Robin. We were required to have a scanned image, a photograph that we took, and a piece from illustrator in our 404 page design.

As you can see it's not too exciting. So I decided to make my design family friendly and fun just like Red Robin Restaurants. I happen to work there so it was easier to design an error page for them because I knew the meaning and motto behind the business.
 Here is my scanned image…

Photograph…

 

And a rough draft of my illustration. 

Then after messing around with ways of saying "hey, you typed in a page that doesn't exsist.....try again!" I finally finished my project and ended up with this…

It's family friendly, easy to use, and screams Red Robin in my opinion.

Week 6A

Here is my selected magazine picture to manipulate on Photoshop! We were assigned in class to change up the photos coloring for greyscale, RGB, and CMYK. Then the last part is to recreate the professor's chart of coloring. Below is my chart done using Photoshop and Illustrator.

Finished Calender

This is the end product of my sheepish calender design.
