Truth be told this semester was like a punch in the face, but I can honestly say this class has made it  MUCH better. Last semester I lost my grandpa due to COVID-19 which really sucked. He was a huge advocate for going to school and receiving good grades. I never could have imagined learning from HOME. I thought it would be the best thing ever but in hindsight, it was the WORST THING IMAGINABLE. I never felt this unmotivated in my life. While in the beginning, I thought CT 101 would be difficult it wasn’t. Having a professor who actually takes the time to engage with the students making sure that learning is still fun and still makes videos for us to follow is a BLESSING. 

One thing that I enjoyed the most about the class was being able to add hyperlinks and gifs to my works. It makes an assignment jazzier. Hyperlinks are links used to give further information based on what you’re talking about. Here’s how it’s done. You  highlight a word that you would like to connect a hyperlink to end in another browser you copy and paste you are well and input it into the URL opening at the bottom of the hyperlink. You then have the option to have your hyperlink open in a new tab so that the reader can still read what you’re already reading and also have the additional tab open for further readings and or findings.

The method of setting up our WORDPRESS has been straightforward. 

The first was to choose a domain name that better represents what your website was all about; it had to be something people could quickly recognize, and it had to bear very little or no similarity to current products. I’m super thankful that there were follow along videos. 

 Here’s a little inside about myself. I am a virtual learner but I would literally have to watch the same vedior about 5 times for things to actually stick in my brain. I’m horrible with following directions. That’s why I’m so hesitant to follow the GPS in places I’m not familiar with. But that all comes with adulting.

The firs thing that comes to mind when thinking if copyrighting is taking ownwer ship of somehting thast you created or have possion on when it come to the digital world. This could range from music, orginal videos, paitnting, information and or content etc. LOL you cant copyright a drink like Homer Simpson thought he could, being that the bar has owner ship to it already.

If you want FULL credit for any work done and published on the web its extremely important to copyright your work.

Today I explored the world of Vaporwave and I can honestly say I was extremely amazed. one common trend that I noticed amongst all of the visuals was the similarities in colors. Often times pink, purple, and blueish colors are used to give the viewer a vibrant contrast.

From a Journalist’s point of view, I would be able to write a novels based on what I see. Being the aesthetics are a contrast of different things, time periods, cars, etc many people will enjoy looking out these visuals while telling a relatable story. The aesthetic of the ’80s makes it more fun to look at is that we are 20 years late. Honestly this is not something I would try to recreate but, I definitely do have interest in writing and analyzing it.

Today we were asked to explore another classmate’s website to explore what their website was about. But before I explore someone else’s site let’s explore mine. My site is about the empowerment of women and self belonging. Often time many of us get so caught up with social media and how we are perceived on social media causing us to lose our true identity.

I choose https://straighttalkwithkysa.com/blog/ I because her site is a complete judgment-free zoom which is great. Many times blogs are drama-filled and its sole purpose is to bring one down instead of uplifting them in a time of need. Her blog is extremely easy the navigate and gets straight to the point. It is extremely important to ensure the stay of children on the internet especially during a time during the pandemic in which most students have moved t remote learning. Having a blog like this is imperative. It was a cool add on to include additional links for further information. Keep up the great work.

By far this has been my favorite class this semester. Its an extremely organized, well compressed, clean-cut class, unlike others. As a student that never did their studies from home, this class was a huge reliever. One thing that I enjoyed learning the most Is how to make GIF’s . This was my favorite thing to learn and do thus far because GIF is animated art.

Your telling a story or a reaction through an animated and or moving picture of an expression made by various people. One thing that I am getting really good at is inserting hyperlinks, and making them open in another tab while keeping the current tab open. In addition, I’ve learned how to screenshot which is something I’m super excited about. Now that I’ve learned that I’m able to show someone what I’m talking about through an email with pictures and proof not just with words. This comes in handy when you want to explore different things yet keep several tabs open. The blog post has helped each student learn from each other. Many of us share the same ideas yet we are so different in the way we express ourselves through our blog post and our upcoming websites. One thing that gave me a hard time but I was able to struggle through and figure out was regarding my domain name and haveing my already existing Reclaim Hosting account connected to WordPress. I realized that when using Safari often times it does not update its software. This caused my domain name (deandrajohns.com) to open in Reclaim Hosting like this.  

This only happens when I type my domain name in Safari. After reaching out to Reclaim Hosting they notified me that my domain name actually does work and that Safari was outdated. As of right, this is how my Website looks, I’m still working on it and you will see the change as the weeks go on.

I am feeling inspired, yet motivated to keep pushing forward to finish my website I’m super optimistic to see how the finished product would look.

I honestly feel like Reclaim Hosting set up is an easy set up just like others. My only issue that I’m still exporting and wondering if their is an easier way to figure out is uploading work to your server. After uploading it to a public server I should be able to have a functional URL with my domino name with the name of the assignment I uploaded to the sever. I never seem to get it 100% correct when uploading work.

Being that Im Web Design 1 Ive created a domain name on Reclaim Hosting. My domain name is deandrajohns.com, which is so plain and boring to me but every other domain name that I did want or tried it was unavailable.

In addition, being that I am a business owner for a hair company I do own an official domain name that I pay for yearly which represents my brand.  Déluxuary.com this website is created under WIX business platform, in which this also a user friendly and functional website for customers to brows and use at their personal usage.

My potential domain name that I have in mind would called De’sWorld. This site would be about my favorite clothings store, restaurants , vacation spots and more. This website will give insights of what I enjoy most in life, it will also be a motivation site that encourages women to become a better them. Often times social media forces individuals to become someone they are not. My website will be inspirational as well exploring things I enjoy in life.

Below I will show you my current business Instagram, it shows hair and also inspires those who engage in with this page. Ive notices since I started to post these motivational post the demographics of women who purchase from my business has changed which is something I am happy about.

As a beginner it is very important that your website is engaging , vibrant , informative, truthful and overall genuine. Ive learned that people follow brightly designed animated websites which makes it more fun and engaging to use.

My first choice will be to work on this visual assignment on receiving online help with a task I will input into Great Assignment Help. One thing I think I will learn from this site is… I think I will need to learn how too …

Heres how it looks when you first get to the website

Im honestly not sure if Im doing this correctly.

Art consists of painting or sculpture, the representation or operation of human imaginative talent and creativity creates works to be admired mainly for their beauty or emotional strength.

An aspect of a culture or behavioral mechanism that can be considered to be transmitted by non-genetic means from one person to another, especially imitation. A humorous picture, video, piece of text, etc and, distributed easily by Internet users.

What is Meme ART? After  analyzing both definitions of what art and memes are I can cnconcule that anything that consists of images are art, by adding words and significance the image weather ist moving or still it can become a meme. Oftentimes come from funny interactions with something or someone that many have a reaction to.

I believe memes are Art. 

Today I will explain to you a few things that make me happy on the internet. Theres an extremely resourceful website called Youtube that is used and navigated by millions of people in the world. On this site you’re able to explore more information on topics you would like to know more about from someone who may be more knowledgeable about the topic than you do.

Before Youtube became such a large platform, reading books on the topic you’re interested in was the best way to find information. Now that Youtube is around its so promenade you’re able to see visuals of everything you want to know especially HOW TO DO videos. Often times I’m able to Youtube many homework assignments that I am unclear about. Being that I am a visual learn I get a better understanding when someone is using pictures, graphs and words to explain things. Compared to just reading words just to read them.

I think everyone should explore Youtube for ANYTHING they want or need to know, there’s no doubt in my mind that you will not be able to find the information you need. There are thousands of videos of different people you can look into. When you do find a particular person who’s videos your gravitate to most often you can subscribe to their channel to be updated frequently with their videos.
