CSS and CARP Design

CSS and CARP Design

Overview

In this project, we redesigned a website. We were given a starting website and with help from some instructions, we made it look better. We started by opening the project in Adobe Dreamweaver. We followed a list of things we needed to change to improve the design of the text, picture, and website. The final product of the website looked much nicer and more organized than the original website. 

Contrast

I improved the contrast of the site by changing the color and bolding some of the text. This made things like the title and first line stand out more. I also changed the font of some of the text, also allowing it to stick out. 

Alignment

I improved alignment by moving all of the text to the left and moving the picture to the right. I also centered the title and subtitle. This alignment gives them more contrast. 

Repetition

I improved the repetition by making all of the paragraphs the same font, size, alignment, and color. This made the website look much more appealing. 

Proximity  

I improved the proximity by increasing space between lines. I also increased space between the text and the picture. Spacing out the text makes the page look nicer and helps certain things stick out. 

What I learned

Throughout this project, I learned a lot about how to use Dreamweaver and how to mess with code. I enjoyed this project because I have always enjoyed messing with code. I enjoy reprogramming the Google search engine to have a different logo and different text, however it resets, while Dreamweaver encourages me to change the code!

E com Personality test

Personality Type

The personality test said I was 44% an introvert. I think that is mostly true since I have trouble talking with other people and basically spend all of my free time by myself. I feel like I would be less intuitive because I tend to use the logical point of view, however, I also tend to use information I find outside of my conscience. I agree with being a low percent of feeling, I always try to think about what I should do in certain cases instead of going with my gut. I also do like to judge over perceiving. 

Understanding Myself

My personality type does explain who I am fairly well. I'm an introvert who likes to understand the concepts of life. It explains why I gravitate toward video games over social interaction. I have never liked going out in public, so I basically stay inside whenever possible. Plus I am really bad at talking with other people. 

With Other People

My personality type explains me in group work as well. I have never been good in a team with people I don't know or barely know. However, the project allowed me to talk with other people, mostly about how some famous people that shared my personality type were Hitler and Mohamed Atta. So possibly not the best conversation. I always try to work well with y team in school projects, but if I am not in a group with people I know really well, it doesn't go too well. Outside of school, I am even more of an introvert. I basically stay on my computer and play video games by myself. 

My Personality With Others

I am usually considered to be a nerd and someone who stays away from the action. Probably because I am that kind of person. my personality type proves it! Usually, people's first impression of me is "weird". This is usually what people think of me forever. Those people misunderstand. I would like to say I am normal, everyone is weird in their own way. I tend to get along with everyone I meet, so I have never had problems with people of opposite personality types,. In fact, one of my best friends is an extrovert. 

Learning about Myself

This project has made me realize I am much more of an introvert then I thought. I knew I was an introvert, but not 44% of an introvert. I would have guessed I was about 30% an introvert. When I think about it it is not too surprising. 

Lion/Otter/Bever/GoldenRetriever

The second part of this project determined what animal we were like. After taking the test, I found out I am like a bever. I am organized and I think there is a right way to do everything, just like a bever. I think a bever sharing the same personality as me works well.
