Another Project Done

Building two web sites was the ultimate goal of two of my classes (one web site each, of course). Both are now done and released to the world. They are quasi-semi imitations of commercial web sites, one for an ERP company and the other for a CRM company. There is, however, no rest now as three other projects remain, as well as the last of the small assignments. Speaking of which there are four (X)HTML labs that are done but not posted on the web site; that will have to wait a week or so.

The Flower and the Trimotor

Now is the season of semester projects, heaped one on top of the other, tumbling toward exam week. Two Photoshop projects have been completed and added to the website. The first is a merging of two images in a sort of tromp l’oeil fashion, which took forever (if 16 hours is forever) and a bunch of false starts. But along the way I learned on of the Secrets of the Trade, to wit, find a tutorial or two, go through them, then find suitable images and apply the techniques learned. The second project, that of a Ford Trimotor photo aged several decades took only four hours, including the time spent on the tutorials.
