Invasive Website Spencer Neel

 Making the website took several days, but it proved without many challenges. I followed each of the videos in order to make the HTML code and the starting layout. I used my experience of making websites in Graphic Design to link other pages in the home page. I didn't use any specific color scheme, but I felt that the colors I chose were appropriate. It took me a little while to figure out exactly what the instructions meant by "embedding", but my fellow students assisted me in figuring out it's not just linking the video. There were some complications with the name of each site and how the links were read, but I was able to solve any problem that came out and completed the website.

House Animation Sketchup Spencer Neel



 Making the house in SketchUp wasn't very difficult, but it did come with it's fair share of problems. I started out the house making a rectangle and raising it up eight feet. Trying to raise the roof how the picture of the house described was almost impossible. Mr. Olson taught me a way to make the roof by using the line tool and making that a 3D model. After that, I made the windows, trying to make each frame of the window as even as possible. Finding good colors didn't take long, but trying to make the railing in the front of the house was extremely difficult. It took me a very long time to place another rectangle on top of the other rails and make it even, but I eventually was able to. After the railings, I made the ground and the road. I imported trees to add aesthetics. Animating took no time at all, and I was able to successfully upload it to my YouTube account. It took some time, but I made the house to the best of my ability.
