Final Project

I am looking at incorporating color, shape and value into my final project. I am currently thinking something website/web page related, with some sort of interactivity involving JavaScript and/or AJAX. To further the thought, I was specifically thinking about a theme-changing site, with the user having the ability to change colors, fonts, etc. I am also thinking about, for the interactivity, to make something cool using AJAX.

Chapter 16: Review Questions and Webpage

Read Chapters 16.

1) Complete two of the review questions found on pp. 269.

2) Create a webpage that provides information on a specific artist or style listed on pp 264 or 265. This should not be a cut-and-paste job, but a report of your own work, so you will need to cite your sources. It does not need to be lengthy, but it must be original, college level writing. Feel free to tell my why you are drawn to the artist or style, what you do or do not like about it. Tell me if you think this style could be useful in designing a website in the future.

3) Create a webpage about a common household item, but do it in a style from a different historical period or specific artistic style. For example, you could do a page on dog food in the renaissance, or paper towels in the old west. (These are my examples! You think of your own ideas please!)

Eames Cards

The theme that I chose was locations and buildings in Kansas. I used the purple to accent the photo, and tried to pick something in the photo that was already ‘attention grabbing’.
