CT101 has been a journey. One i surprisingly struggled a lot in. Not because i didn’t understand anything but because of how much more we had to do than i thought. I like many others would’ve thought that this course was easy. I thought the same until i noticed how much commitment we must put in. Sure there wasn’t any exams or daily Homework. But words escape me sometimes or the lack of motivation prevents me from posting. Either that or because i am just a lazy person in general.
I feel like i have learned a lot from this class. Specially when it comes to finding recourses that could help with other assignments. Especially with free software’s that help with photo editing, finding PNGs and Gifs that are readily available. A lot of what i am able to do in this following post is because of what i learned from this class. I however wasn’t able to put these skills to much use throughout the semester. I have been lacking in assignments and not making up posts or commenting on others posts. I feel that it would definitely drop my grade by a huge margin. Due to my lackluster performance, i would think that i would deserve a C+ at most.
Although i did do majority of my posts and have created my website, i feel like i was still lacking by the end of the semester, so that is what i feel is more appropriate.
I did enjoy the creative freedom we were given with a lot of our assignments. Letting our minds go free to implement the appropriate pictures, gifs, memes, or whatever we liked to our posts. These skills could be used for a variety of creative assignments for other classes or to expand out horizons on the internet.
Creating the website as an assignment was both fun and challenging. I felt that i encountered a lot of problems trying to figure out how the software worked half the time. Once i got the hang of it, i was able to make a small website with what information i could give. It goes by Mocha13.net. Its meant to be a simple website where i just talk about random stuff that is on my mind. There isn’t much on it however. I still couldn’t get stuff to work the way i want it but its a start for what its worth. it has up to five posts but my struggle was trying to get them to appear on a singular post page but i did my best. Instead i just had them appear everywhere. I made it a darker theme, not to appear menacing or anything. I just wanted it to feel a bit pleasing to the eyes, dark with a few bits of color.
The following screenshots are just a taste of what i have available. I dont believe ill update it anytime soon. I don’t feel like id have the attention span or the commitment to continue this website, no matter how much work i could put into it. I’m usually not that comfortable talking about myself or my passions online and i don’t think id have anything worth sharing online through a website. So i wont be keeping up with the website, But it was a nice side project that we were able to do.
