CSS and CARP Design

Image
     We are finishing a short project in Dreamweaver on CSS and CARP. We were giving a basic, poorly designed webpage and tasked with making it better without changing any of the actual content. Formatting, color, fonts, and overall style was moved around to produce a much better looking outcome.      The new design uses Contrast with its color mostly. The main area is a pasty white while the background is black. The first paragraph of the poem is in a different font, and the title is much larger than the rest of the text.      The new design uses Alignment by keeping all the paragraphs on the same invisible line. The title and subtitle are both center-aligned. The text at the very top is also aligned with the poem.      The new design also uses Repetition by using the same colors and fonts multiple times. Georgia is used for the two titles while most of the poem is all the same font. The tans, pasty white, and black is all from the dog's fur colors.      Lastly, the n

My Personality Type

     We recently took the personality type test, and I scored as an ESFP. ESFPs are typically out-going, friendly, social, fun-lovers who love to experience the world around them. Many famous ESFPs are performers or people who love being on stage. People with this type range from Marilyn Monroe and Michelangelo to Bill Clinton and Katy Perry.      I think my personality type describes me fairly well, as I love hanging out with friends and doing fun activities.

I am not fond of stress or obnoxious work, and have a tendency to procrastinate, but I love being with fun people.     After taking this test, we took another one: the LOBG test. It stands for

Logo Design

     Our most recent project was on logo design. Logos are iconic parts of our everyday life, and they symbolize a company or a product. We were tasked with creating our own logo designs.      First, we drew everything out on paper, making as many ideas as we could. Ultimately, we took the best 3 or so, and took them to Illustrator. From there, we began expirementing. My first design was a palm tree in a circle. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do at first, so I tried aquatic themes. I added extra circles and an island, as well as some negative space, and quite liked how it turned out.  My second design was a shooting star with letters in the stream. I tried both my first name, and my initials. I also used different thicknesses for the lines. As much as I like the concept, it didn't turn out as I had quite hoped. My third design was my initials selecting over the water. I tried multiple methods for the fade, but nothing quite worked. I also tried putting a (blacked-out) su
