Webpage Editing with Adobe Dreamweaver 10/10/2023

-

 Today in class we learned the basics of how to edit a webpage using Adobe Dreamweaver, as knowing a decent amount of coding is considered a necessity in the digital media world. Shown below is the original webpage we were given, as well as my edited version created after today's session.


 

Many values in the webpage's code were replaced with "xx" placeholders, and it was our task to replace them with actual values. For example the buttons reading "Part 1", "Part 2" and "Part 3" all had a width value of "xx%" which i changed to 25 %, increasing their width on the webpage. As for the images in the header and background, these images were provided to us in the folder containing the original webpage template we worked off of, so it was only a matter of replacing the "xx" image files with the correct pictures.

For the copyright info,  I assumed that due to the nature of our task being "Down the Rabbit Hole" we were creating a webpage loosely based on Alice in Wonderland, which upon researching the copyright holder of I found belonged to Lewis Carrol and the Walt Disney company, and so that was the copyright label I included.

Overall I found today's session very helpful for learning the basics of webpage coding, as I had never really gone into learning it previously at school or in my own time. My hope is that knowing how to edit webpages like I've done today can be a starting point for furthering my digital media skills further as I continue through this course, using it to produce artefacts to the best of my ability.

The purpose of this blog post is to outline the development, creative process and progression of my Storytelling and Gaming assignment for my second year second semester at Hertfordshire University. While I understand that the assignment brief requested a series of blog posts to be created over the duration of the project's development, I neglected this aspect of my work out of no fault than my own, due to already having to maintain a seperate blog for my Independent Project, and on being told prior that the final end product was the most significant component of what we present. I appologise for the unprofesional nature of this stand-in blog post, though shall do my best to use this blog post to deliver a cohesive timeline of events. CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT My choice to have the style and asesthetic of my storytelling project to be in the form of a retro-esc videogame introduction cutscene game both from my enjoyment of the style of introductory cutscene I wished to make, as well as...

Animating in Photoshop 2 - 17/11/2023

 Today in Photoshop continuing onward from our bouncing ball project, we moved onto more complicated animation, namely being the animating of a simple walk cycle. To do this we used a template from AngryAnimator.com as a base for our initial animation. Below is shown the template we used for our initial animation. To animate our person taking each step we first separated each part of their body into their own layer, the head, the torso, and front and back arms and legs. This was done to make animating far easier and to prevent unwanted squash when warping the limbs, additionally converting each layer into a smart object for easier animating . In order to make the arms and legs move we utilised Photoshop's puppet warp tool in order to establish joints on the arms and legs to manipulate and animate. One again using Photoshop's timeline feature we created a 25 frames per second animation of the walk cycle. After that was complete we then created a background for our person to walk...

Animate Future Stories Piece Documentation

 For my Adobe Animate project for our Future Stories assignment I chose to do a rendition of the 3 Little Pigs story modified to be an educational interactive story for children about Internet Safety and Password Security. My initial design process was done by drawing out the designs for the characters, the story structure and the movement of assets in animate in Adobe Photoshop, which can be seen below. The wolf was designed to be more angular, mainly made up of triangles to signify danger, also being a harsh red colour with yellow added on his ears and grin. The three pigs all share the same base body structures, but being colour coded and with different shaped heads, each chosen to signify the stability of each pig's house, or in the case of my story, passwords.  The first big has a circular head and is sacredly, with circles not being very stable shapes. The first pig is also a light blue colour to represent their general sad attitude and passiveness. The second pig is squ...
