Lab #5 Reflection
October 9th, 2018

   This lab required much more code then any of our previous labs. We were to make a table with 2 rows and 16 columns, and fill it with information based on our favorite foods, favorite movies, favorite and least favorite school subjects, favorite music genres and a grocery shopping list. First thing I did was create my usual headings. It consisted of using an <h1> tag through <h4> to display my name, class name, lab number and name, and the date. So next I made a table using the <table> tag. I started the first row using a <tr> tag and then started adding in the headings. I used 16 of these <tr> tags and added the heading corresponding to the information need (favorite foods, favorite movies, favorite and least favorite school subjects, favorite movie genres and a grocery shopping list). Next I made a second row that I used for all of the information based on the topics. I put my favorite foods as an unordered list and my favorite movies as an ordered list with numbers. For the other lists I had to create multileveled lists to meet a list inside of another. For my favorite subjects I created an ordered list with capital Roman numerals and also nested a list inside of them with an unordered list with open dots that had the reasons why I like those subjects. For the least favorite subjects, I made an unordered list with the style type being none. This means there was no dot before the list item. However before every subject I put an asterisk using an HTML span tag with the hex code representing an asterisk. Therefore it looks to show the asterisk as the dot before the subject is stated. Nested inside this, were ordered lists with lower case letters (a, b, c) and the reasons why those subjects were my least favorite. The next list was favorite music genres. This list was unordered with 3 genres of music that we liked. Nested inside that was the album name but as an ordered list with lower case roman numerals. NESTED WITHIN THAT, was another unordered list with normal dots that had 3 song names from that album. The last list that was to be made was a grocery list. It started with an unordered list of the aisle type. Nested within that was a list of 5 things that were in that section but was an ordered list with uppercase roman numerals. 

    Web designers would need to know how to do this in order to store LOTS of data within each other. Like a list of things they would need to display on a page, they wouldn't be able to do it without knowing what kind of list they want, unordered or ordered, and what kind of list style type they would like to use. Knowing all of this could allow for a more professionally displayed website with a sense of organization.

WBL Workshop #6 Interview Skills

-
          WBL Workshop #6 was about testing our interviewing skills. First thing that happened was us entering the room without knowing that we were going to be interviewed. So as a student you could say some of us were surprised about it. There were different people interviewing students that took place during this workshop. Students were set at different "stations" of people who would interview you. I was a little confused at first about what the interview would be about and what job we were actually being interviewed for to represent a mock interview. Then I realized that a perfect job for the situation would be something revolving around being a web designer. When it was my turn to be interviewed I wasn't nervous because I had some pre-answers in my head for obvious answers.               During the interview I kept looking toward the top right, for no apparent reason. I feel like I should have been looking at the employe...

CTE Expo Reflection Journal

     The objective of the CTE EXPO was to engage the freshmen into seeing what the Web Design Academy was made of and what were the benefits of joining. It was also to make their interests peak as they could be exposed to these special skills.  To prepare for the CTE EXPO I just ran through looking for my best business attire I possibly had because I knew how important this event was, During the actual event I grabbed freshmen attention by saying, "hello are you interested in learning more about the visual design part of the CTE academy?" I used that line pretty much all the time to get the attention of the freshmen who looked lost or confused. I think what went well was that most of the freshmen, all the ones I met with, had an interest in the subject because of the amount of questions they asked and how detailed their questions were. For next year's CTE EXPO it would be best to realign the table structure because the poster boards of the visual design class were in...

Lab #12 Reflection

This lab was fun to learn but a little difficult at first. If you were learning adobe illustrator for the first time and had to do something with it, you would have a lot of trouble if you weren't reading the tutorials or listening to them. At first for me personally it was a little hard trying to figure out what to do. I go to the lab pretty much every day on my free period. Lunch personally is boring for me. Let's get back on topic. I took my time to read the tutorial for adobe illustrator again and absorb what I read. I did the extra reading to scan what I needed to complete the lab and what skills were needed to complete it. Though I wish I can post my work here, I really can't due to the fact it is saved in a pdf file. At first the file was in an .ai file but since I had to submit it in for a grade it was transferred into a pdf file for viewing purposes. It was something we learned from reviewing adobe illustrator. Adobe illustrator wasn't that hard to learn. The b...
