Lab #18.2 Flex Panel Gallery

-
Lab #18.2 is titled "Flex Panel Gallery". In this lab, I had created 5 panels in HTML, and then I used JavaScript and CSS to turn them into images that expand in more text if you click on it. For instance, if you click on "BEEN", it will expand into "I'VE BEEN GRINDING". This signifies that I am doing this lab late at night and I want to sleep but I'm dedicated to my work so I'll get it done, indicating the "grind". Anyways, if you click on any of the panels, they expand into more text. I'll leave you to explore it.



To create these functioning panels, I used a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In my HTML, I stored all of the panels in a div with the class name "panels" which I then made the 5 individual panels inside of it. Using CSS, I formatted the panel's spacing the way I wanted to, in order to fit the page of course. There were other properties I edited here like the text color and the images which I do not own. Moving onto the JavaScript, I  made functions to toggle the panels and if statements to check whether the user was clicking a panel and which specific one. Once the JavaScript registers that a user has clicked a panel, that panel is then extended to show the hidden text that lies in that panel.

Web designers can use these kind of panels to make their webpages more elegant as it gives a sense of proficiency in the web design field. The images can be changed and the text can be used to represent something. For example, a web designer might want to raise awareness of an issue like global warming and make the panels say something like "LET'S SAVE EARTH" and etc. The images can also be altered to their accord if they know how the code works.

(The reason I am calling this lab 18.2 is because it was titled as lab #18 but there was already a lab 18 and changing the names of all the other labs to make this #19 would send my soul to heaven).

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...
