Week 15 Outside Class

Finished work on artist's webpage for Kyle Cooper, famous title sequence designer/director.

I began my design by creating a few box models. One for the title of the page, another for the content body.
The title box of the page consists of his name, Kyle Cooper, and a description of what he does, design and directs. Both of the text has effects on them, such as a shadow. Also used headings such as H1, H2, H3, etc.
The body consists of text about the artist, a photo, and text on his work.

Week 15B

Continued work on artist's webpage.
..

Week 15A

Continued work on artist's webpage layout.
I am having an issue with getting the image I created to work on my webpage. Will continue to sort through that.
Also a note, the text that is currently in my "About" section, is just test text to see how my page looks filled up. I took the text directly from my artist's own webpage and I will be removing it and writing my own bio on him.
I also need to work on centering all my content to the middle of the webpage. Currently everything sits towards the left side.

Week 14 Outside Class

No specific homework assignments for class due over break.
I did not work further on my webpage layout, but I did do some research on W3 Schools website as I was having issues with some coding.

Week 14B

No class. Thanksgiving holiday break.

Week 14A

Began class with a short 30 min project to create a logo for the English department here at Millersville University.
Used the rest of class time to work on our webpages for our chosen artists.
Got my background working properly on my webpage. Also edited my background in illustrator so that it would be larger so that it would fit in larger resolution screens, like the mac ones we are using.

Used a texture that I found using Google Image search. Source: http://www.texturehd.com/data/media/8/cracked_wall_texture.jpg

Just created some simple lines in illustrator that will sit behind my content box models in the layout. Trying to create some extra texture and graphics, something edgy like Kyle Cooper uses a lot in his work.

Week 13 Outside Class

Very basic start to my webpage layout using HTML and CSS. So far I just have the header bar and content box in place, which will hold the header and general information about my artist; Kyle Cooper.
I had made a background in Illustrator but for some reason it will not show up in my coding. Will continue to work on the issue.
~Image of background I'm going to use:


And an image of a template/design I made using just Illustrator. This is just a design for me to go off of while coding.
