Lab #6 - JQ Stop

-
This lab was an add-on to lab #5 which was jQuery animate. Continuing from my last webpage, I had made buttons to move, change the size, opacity, do it all, and alter the shape of a white div box on the webpage. There was also a reset button that makes all of the modifications on the white div box change. Now, for this lab the objective was to add a stop button to all of the animations. What this button would do is completely stop any animation in progress. For example, if I press the size button and then press the stop button, it should stop the size modification while it is happening and basically freeze the action. This can be done for all of the animations.

Easily, this button was made with a .stop() function in jQuery. Once applied to the selector, this method allows for when this click function runs, to stop any animations currently in process. I've tested it with all of the animations and it currently works for all of them.

This can be useful to the web designer's arsenal because in case they overdo their animations and want to stop them, the option would be there using this jQuery stop function. Also, it will allow for others using their webpage to stop any animations taking place in case they have a low-end device that can't run it well or if they have problems with it which can vary. It just allows for there to be an option to stop the animation and take a break from the world of animation.

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...
