Lab #24 Custom Video Player

-
The name of this lab was "Custom Video Player". Within this lab, I used JavaScript, CSS, and HTML to create a custom video player. As for the video used in the demonstration, I was at comic-con and one of my friends wanted to record me unsheathing my sword. In the end, it didn't really turn out the way we planned... ANYWAYS DON'T WORRY ABOU THAT! It's just a demonstration that the video player controls work.


In order to create this beauty of a video player, I used many divs that had classes related to what their function was, like the player itself, player controls, player button, etc. I also used input sliders for the sounds and speed of the video. The CSS on the webpage was made to center the video and adjust it so that it was displayed as flex and wouldn't interfere with other elements on the page, like my heading. The main part was the JavaScript which added the functionality to all of these controls. I created functions for toggling the play and pause button for the video, skip functions to go forward or backward a certain amount, and also functions to handle the progress of the video.

Web designers can use this to replace the default video controls that HTML allows you to use. It can be to fully customize the viewer experience on your webpage. For example, you could be selling a product on your webpage and have an advertisement video with it including custom controls which would make it stand out from other videos from competitors.

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...
