Every ones website

My favorite websites were Kevin Clement's, Abby Talley's, and Thomas Bartanusz. I liked kev's because it was related to the Trinity Tigers Baseball Team. Abbey's and Thomas's I thought were both professional.

My Web Site

Please visit my website at www.cs.trinity.edu/~tbarron
I thought that making this site was a lot harder than i expected it to be. I was thinking it would be very simple and it wasn't. I used the tool expression web and still found it somewhat difficult. I am most proud of my running page because i feel that it is my most creative page. I probably would have changed my backgrounds because i feel like they are amateur. My biggest technical challenge was getting the pages to be centered and aligned like I wanted them to be. My biggest design challenge was my lack of creativity. I would feel comfortable showing a future employer my web site. I could make another website for a class for a final project. I think that this was a great project and should be continued to be done by people in the class.

Project Self - Analysis

I chose a basic picture of a very clean and pristine river. I thought that this would be a fun picture to manipulate. The picture originated in the orsierra club files on the website http://orsierraclub.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/metolius_river_pine_lg2.jpg. I manipulated the picture by adding things that would commonly not be seen near or in a river such as dolphins, a penguin, and a polar bear. I didn't find the manipulation to be harmful in any way other than it shows how easily a picture can be manipulated to get people to believe what you want them to believe. Adding some friendly Arctic animals and dolphins doesn't affect how the river is portrayed and therefor isn't harmful. The article I researched said that some of the photos produced in O.J. Simpson's civil trial were fake. The court was fooled by these photos and found O.J. to be guilty. This relates to my photo because it shows how with a picture, any mind can be manipulated.

HTML code

While there are many different soft wares available to make the website creating process easier, all creators should be familiar with HTML coding. It a basic skill for frequent computer users yet it is important. If something were to go wrong with the software or the website didn't look exactly as you planned, you could use the HTML coding to fix a minor problem. It would be difficult for the creator to fix the problem without a proper understanding of HTML code. Another reason HTML coding is very helpful is that it helps you to appreciate the difficulty of creating something we view as simple such as Facebook or a blogging website. Every page has a very in depth code that goes with it.

Powerpoint

I thought that the shake weight presentation was very good. I liked how the slides came in and left. It was well thought out and the timing was brilliant. The color scheme was good and it wasn't filled with too much information. I also liked the ideas presented in the Technology presentation. The colorscheme was technology based and made you think of an apple running system. I thought that the presentation was timed out very well. If I'm not mistaken the slides moved on their own which means that the presentation was practiced and nailed to a T.

Gonzo Stuff


My collage is about my bull, Gonzo, deciding whether he should head for the barn because he is cold in the snow and it would provide him shelter, or stay with his three knew baby calves
