This is my original picture before I made it up into the ONW website  This is my ONW mock up

On this project we had to make most of the website in Photoshop which was very hard for me because I am not in graphic design and I'm not good in Photoshop so I ran into some problems when making the past, present, and future graphic. Some of the problems I had was with the animation and cutting it into different parts. Then when I went it put it all together in dreamweaver it moved everything but eventually I got it to work and then didn't have any major problems after that. In Photoshop I learned how to make animations and have each part fade out at different times. Here is a link to my website.

Over this semester we had five videos, which were the procedure video where we were showing where to find a place or what to do in a certain place for incoming freshmen. The second video we did this semester was the sound project where we did our first interview over a topic we did this summer. The third video we made was the hobby video where we interviewed a person in the class over something they do in their free time and then did b-roll for the first time. The last video we did was making our first ONW NOW with a group in the class. In this project we put everything we have learned throughout video both years and made a 6 news segments and 2 sport segments. Some key events where on the second project, the sound project, where I had interviewed Whitney the day before using her SD card and then coming into class the next day finding out that she was not here. So I had to use footage from Alyssa that she did the day before also and had to edit a story about Emily. The second proble...

  YAHOO! The layout of the YAHOO! website has changed drastically. The YAHOO! website used to not have any pictures and the logo was red instead of purple. The links on the 1998 version of YAHOO! are all blue and nothing really stand out compared to the website now. The coding to the YHOO! website back in 1998 had lots of vars in it but now the coding is mostly divs with some vars.   CLUB PENGUIN Club Penguin's website has transformed drastically since it started in 2005. The website has gone from mostly white space to space taken up by a picture advertising stuff you can do with your characters in the game. Another thing that has changed is the look in the penguins. The color scheme hasn't changed a whole lot over the years, it is still lots of blue, white, and gold. The coding back from when they first launched the website had a lot of tables but now all of those tables have been replaced with divs.  Tumblr When Tumblr first started o...

Commercial  Graphic Design and Website  Animation What was the scope of your project? The scope of my product is fun, entertaining, and informational because our goal is to show what the owners pet is feeling at all times when wearing our collar. Our product is also not only for dog owners it can be used for any pet, even fish! What was your process? Pre-production- When we started this project our group wanted to make something that is fun and can be used everyday by pet owners. our original thought was to make a dog collar that could track your dog in case it ran away but it didm't seem original enough or fun enough for this project, so we changed our idea to something more fun.  Production- We started in the animation strand and while we were in there I worked on the package seen above. We wanted to go for something colorful and fun, just like our product. When we went to the Graphic Design strand I took on the role of making ...

my video is about Pup-E-Motion which is a mainly a dog collar that shows your dogs emotion. Once you put the dog collar on it changes color to show what mood your dog is in. In the video we show that the dog is showing the emotions happy, sad, mad, and loving towards the owner. Our product doesn't just come in sizes for dog it can come in sizes for cats too! The different colors include red as mad, blue as sad, yellow as happy, pink as loving. Our scope is directed at pet owners but mostly dog owners. We used testimonial to sell our product. We tried for a very funny video but also at the same time an informational video to show how amazing our product really is! Dogs everywhere will absolutely love this product and so will you!
