Lab #7 Reflection

    Within this lab we were to duplicate all of our previous labs and then paste them into a separate folder named "Lab 7". That happens to be this lab. We were to make buttons, images with hyperlinks that go to our previous labs (1-6) when clicked on. It also included our banner and nameplate displayed in lab 6. So in order to do this, we first made an html file that was named index.html, which is a name that will open the html upon the folder being opened. In my index.html file I included 2 headings, one with the class name and one with my name. Then I inserted my banner in the head using an <img> tag and my nameplate in the body using an <img> tag. Lastly I make a custom image for each lab # and then used it as a hyperlink (<a> tag) that directs the user to that specific lab using a relative pathway. There was a total of 6 labs that were displayed. I also changed the background to a shade of red. 

    A web designer would need to know these skills to be able to make a homepage for their website with hyperlinks that direct a user to specific content that the web designer wants them to see. It gives them a good sense of direction so they aren't lost trying to find a piece of information or a specific area they want to see.

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...
