Final Post: My Experience Making a Website

The website was one of the projects that made me worry quite a bit on what it will be like to work on it. Once it was went over in the class however, I started to think that I might have a chance of doing this after all. I'm still a little worried if I made it to be just right though, but that might just be plain old paranoia. Moving on, I made my website having the three necessary pages, the bio, the portfolio, and the contact page. I did not have any other contact sites that could be considered "Professional", so I decided to stick with just the blogger website, phone number, and email for contact. Since I'm aiming to get into the film business, I felt an image of the Hollywood sign would work best for my website. For using the website for promoting myself, since I want to get into film, I would need to emphasize the fact that this website is dedicated to the television and film medium of media. As the website is now, the only parts of it that shows off the dedication to film is the Hollywood image, some pieces of my bio, and my logo business card. While I do not have the appropriate portfolio that showcases that I want to get into film, they could still be used to help showcase some of the skills I possess. The resume is used in the obvious manner of showcasing my information and skills. When time passes I can always replace it with a new resume with more information, and can continue the process every time new information about myself is available. With the other projects in my portfolio I would able to showcase my experience using the adobe programs, Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. When it came to actually designing the website itself, it was rather easy and hard at the same time. We did not get to use much of the Adobe Dreamweaver in this class, so when it was time to start the website we decided to use our remaining class times to work on the project together. When I compare Dreamweaver to the other Adobe programs we have used for this class, I can say without a doubt that Dreamweaver is a lot more advanced than the others; or at the very least takes much more knowledge and experience to utilize. When it came to building or putting together the website, since we had the majority of the necessities needed for putting it together, It was more easy than it would have been if we started from scratch. When we started bringing in the files we needed for the website, we did so many things to set them up for the project; including changing the files to the proper format a couple of times and linking the files to right things they needed to be linked to. The most troubling part of this project was the information on the side of the editing page that contained the data of the pages and it's contents. The information page was rather detailed and large, it made me feel uneasy when I learned that I had to use this page to complete the website. Overall, my experience with making this website was very enlightening, and I it makes me feel rather good that I was able to put this up, with assistance from my class.

Logos: Their looks and Meanings.

This is a successful logo because the multitude of colors in the word help to give emphasis that this website is meant to help people look for information. The logo says there are many colors, which could also be a way of saying there is a lot of information.

 

 



 

 

This logo is successful in that it is simple, but just right. This logo tries to give a sense of completeness, or fullness, which help makes a person more relaxed or tired. This can be seen as a way to emphasize how calm and quiet a Starbucks coffee shop can be, and how one can relax there.

 

 

This logo is a success because while it is simple, it is also artistically pleasing. The logo could also be away of saying that this store is the "bullseye", or the store that has what people are looking for.

 

 

This logo is a success because the design helps to give off senses of majesty, perfection, and epicness. This logo is able to completely emphasize how Warner Bros. Pictures films are apart of the mainstream and usually show off blockbuster movies.

 

 

 

 

This logo is successful because it is able to pull a simple image that spreads the message easily. The logo is nothing but a blue background and the name "GAP", but this is more than enough. If anyone has ever gone to GAP even once, then this logo tells them exactly what they are going to see in that store the second time they come around.

 

The Future of the Screens

The name of my company is, for the moment, The Judge's Army. The Judge's Army is a production company that creates mainstream shows and movies of many varieties, mainly of the fantasy element. The audience the company is aiming for is a general audience, due to most of the movies being varied in ratings. However, the production company would also be more likely to aim towards the age areas between adolescent and young adult.  I want my logo to be able to communicate that this company will produce films and TV shows of many varieties. To do this, I believe a logo with my mascot, The Judge, holding a film roll or having a multitude of other characters behind him, while also having the title "THE JUDGE'S ARMY" in the logo somewhere, would be able to convey this message
