Clip of the Day

Chasing Waves

Clayton Coates

Chasing Waves

Life has a way of twisting and turning, much like descending an untamed river.  Along the way you are sure to meet powerful waves which push you off your intended path.  I too have encountered what seemed to be insurmountable crashing waves.  The greatest lesson I’ve learned from these tribulations, is once you learn to face the wave and break through it head on with all the momentum you can summon, you’ll look back with appreciation for the experience in its entirety.  Only then will you realize your full potential and eagerly look towards the next challenge the unpredictable current has to offer. 

Zac Brown Band, Day That I Die

I believe that I, was born with a song inside of me,

Never question why,

I just keep on chasing that melody,

And as time goes by, its funny how time can make you realize,

We’re running out of it.

On the day that I die, I want to say that I,

Was a man who really lived and never compromised,

And while I lived out my days, until the very end,

I hope they find me in my home, with my guitar in my hand

I hope they find me in my home, with my guitar in my hand

Why else am I here?

Salutations 

The name is Dejaneri Maestas, but I go by Deja (yes very much like déjà vu). I was born and raised in the inner city of Denver, CO. I tried to stay away from hood rat activities so I could travel the world, and I guess you can say it worked because here I am in Lake Tahoe.

Confused Journalist

Growing up with anxiety and depression left my 6 year old mind with insights that most middle aged people have not yet discovered. This made for a difficult childhood filled with therapy sessions and an endless search for a coping mechanism. The words started bleeding across the page as my mom finally gave into my temper tantrum over a bright pink notebook. Each title read “what is my purpose?” as I pondered why I was put on this earth. Little did I know, I was holding my purpose within my hands. I was put on this earth to create. I love being vulnerable in my creations and doing so across all platforms from words on paper, videos, to photography. My passion has led me to where I am today. I am finishing my senior year as associate editor of the Eagle's Eye.

Oh yeah, and I am passionate about beer...

Always Camera Ready

My Name is Ty Casey, I am a senior here at SNC and I don't know why I'm sideways. I am on the golf and snowboard teams here at SNC and an environmental science major minoring in business management.

Here is a battery of links that may be useful to you in the formatted poem, our first html-based assignment:

I want you to take a poem or song lyrics, and use text formatting to "design" the text in ways that emphasize properties of the poem/song (for instance, if there is a line that's very angry, perhaps the font is larger and red for that section). I want you to use at least six different text properties (color, font face, size, alignment, etc.) in the course of the poem/song.

And here, below, is some basic html text styling code – utilizing inline CSS – that I thought might be helpful as a "base file" for you to build your poem out of. Hopefully it gives an idea of some basic text-styling syntax (I'll break it down in class):

Myself

Hello everyone,

My name is Joao Mendes, I came all the way from Brazil to play soccer and get my degree in Marketing and Global Business at SNC. It's been a fantastic experience!

ON THE RUN

Howdy. My name is Katherine "Kat" Watson and I am originally from Austin, Texas. It quite literally drives me insane if I stay in one spot -mentally or physically- for too long. On the other hand, I have a rocky relationship with my travels. Despite my tempestuous past with traveling, I have found that my life is easiest lived with a true vagabond cowboy mentality.

Hanging out, or Hanging on?

To posses true control in life, you must be content with having one hand on the wheel at times.

Dis is me

Vilde Johansen

Hi, everyone! My name is Vilde Johansen and I am originally from Norway. I came to SNC in 2016 mainly because of the ski-team, and after a semester I decided to get my bachelor in Marketing and Global Business Management. I graduate in May, which went way too fast, but all good things come to an end I guess!

Assignment for Wednesday (1/30)

Two things are due by the start of class Wednesday-

1. Make a post on this blog, introducing yourself. Think of it in terms of “first impression “ websites tend to build, using: a strong image - a headline (which you can insert as the post “title”) - and a short paragraph. Think of this in terms of “voice” - try to avoid being generic. It’s possible to give a sense of personality in just a sentence or two.

2. Pick out a poem or song lyrics that you’ll style for a web page in class Wednesday. We’ll be using html and css tags to introduce color and other style elements to the text. Make sure you’ve downloaded the sublimetext app if you’re using your own laptop, so we can hit the ground running.

Have a Ruff Day?

Here is a dog to brighten up your day. He is a good dog. (All dogs are good dogs).

Welcome - Web Design SP19

Welcome to the blog for the web design class.


Be prepared, next class, to talk about why you like the website for a presentation of five to ten minutes. Write and print out an outline, which you will hand in on Monday's class (this is not a full paper, but an outline you can refer to in your presentation). Talk about:

1. The design of the site

You should be able to describe the use of:
a) color
b) fonts
c) images
d) the general layout

How do each of these elements serve (or undermine) the purpose and content of the website? What is the emotional or design quality of each of these elements? For instance, a site designed for children might use colors that are bright, vivid, and friendly -- with a font that appears playful or toy-like.

2. The navigation of the site

How it the site organized? How do you get from place to place? Is the content on the site easily accessible? Are there different navigation schemes on different parts of the site, or is it consistent across the site?

3. The functionality of the site -- what the site "does."
