TOO MANY GIFS

This has been a site I've been working on for a awhile now called TOO MANY GIFS. As a site comprised entirely of gifs, I made this site using HTML, CSS, and PHP. It features a full contact page with a Thanks page and confirmation email.
Enjoy.

JavaScript!

     I now feel I have a firm grasp on HTML and CSS so I'm now looking into learning the basics of JavaScript in order to better animate my websites and polish them further. Although I realize I've only scratched the surface of both HTML and CSS, my plan is to go further into web design knowing the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and maybe even Jquery. Luckily, JavaScript is a lot like an objective based language which should make it an easy learn coming from a C/C++ background.

HTML tutorial

This week I began working on learning a new function tag in HTML called the <details> tag. This tag enables you to condense and hide information and then restore it by pressing the small arrow by the tag's name. I can already see how this can be useful in making FAQ type tages and displaying all key points within view without the need to scroll.

First Full Sized Web Page

    This week, I designed my first full sized web page which I made for my Art and Photography.
Most of the tabs aren't fully functional yet but for the Gallery tab, I plan to make a tasteful interface for viewing photos instead of just scrolling down. This page uses 5 different html files all sharing the same CSS style sheet. Everything on here was completely from scratch with everything made in either Photoshop and Dreamweaver.

A WEB PAGE THAT FINALLY WORKS :D

So I finally got my webpage to start working. I've been trying to get used to Dreamweaver and Fireworks for web development and the time was ver well worth it. The background of this page was made in Fireworks while the CSS and HTML was added in Dreamweaver, which works wonders on quickly adding CSS rules.

Using Blender

    I recently took up Blender in my leisure time which is a free, open source, 3D rendering software. I tried this sort of software before using 3DS Max but I found it to be very overwhelming and clunky to work with (although I assume the UI is easy to work with once you know what you're doing). Anyways, this was the first render I made through messing around with Blender and working with material and textures. In the future, I hope to add a caustic for the diamond as to make it more "shadow" realistic.

Deadly Cute

    For this project, we were told to make a piece of a cute animal with lethal or scary qualities. For mine, I took a dove and strapped a bomb to its back with an olive branch in its mouth. What I try to convey through this piece is the hypocrisy and two-faced nature of our current government. We continue to wage a fruitless war which in turn, drains our resources, raises our taxes, and ends the lives of good American soldiers. Yet, we continue to proclaim how peaceful we are. In our current state, perhaps only war can bring peace, but I stand in opposition to that.
