Sea World & Reflection

Hello once again audience, my name is Stockton and today I am going to be presenting my Sea World final for my Explore A/V class. This video talks goes over Sea World's new "Believe" show. This will be my final project for the semester, so I think that this would be a good time to talk about my first semester as a whole in this class. I have had a swell time in this video class, I have gotten to know many of my classmates better and I have enjoyed most of the projects we have done, especially this current one. It's great to take a break after all these finals. The only downsides to the class so far are that I have limited control on my projects and the time I have to complete them. I have no problems with anything else.

Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukah
Joyous Kwanza
(I could have just said Happy Holidays, right?)

Thanks for reading,

Stockton

Real or Hoax?

Hello everyone, my name is Stockton and today I am presenting my newest web project, "Real or Hoax?". This website consists of a home page and six content pages which have to deal with Internet legends (real and fake alike).

I began this project right before Thanksgiving break (Oh, Happy Holidays everyone :D) and it took three to four days to complete the project. I began by creating the project's CSS. Now, for those of you who are not too familiar with the subject, CSS is the rules that define a website. The tables, sidebars, and so on are all CSS. Without CSS, websites would just be blocks of texts with images scattered all around.  I learned how to make the template through a tutorial from my instructor. After I made the basic template, I began working on the sidebar. I made the boxes surrounding the links to the other pages of content on my website.

I chose a color pallet from The Color Scheme Designer. (It is a really neat website, you might want to check it out.) Next, I started adding in content. There was a text file that I pulled my information and images from. I created a new page for each topic using the same basic CSS template and color pallet.
This was an interesting project, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here are a couple of screenshots of the website.
