Plausible Impossible  If called to do so by their king the playing cards also act as soldiers, In doing so the cards will run with their very own legs this is impossible in our reality due to the fact that playing cards are not living beings and therefore don't have moving legs. However this is plausible due to Mickey having travelled through the mirror into another reality where common household objects are sentient beings. When Mickey eats the nut that was cracked by the nutcracker he grows to the size of the house almost breaking the roof and then immediately shrinks to the size of a playing card. This is impossible due to the laws of nature in our own world, and even more so these things could not happen from eating a ordinary nut. However this is plausible because as walt disney said at the beginning of the clip "in this world the laws of nature were suspended". Whilst being chased by the army of playing cards Mickey stumbles upon a fountain pen. W...

What is responsive design? Responsive design is web design for any device that is not a desktop, so for example phones, tablets, small laptops, etc. Responsive design is so important these days due to the larger amount of people that are accessing the internet via their phones and tablets.

Responsive Web Design What is responsive web design?

The practice consists of a mix of flexible grids and layouts, images and an intelligent use of CSS media. Why is it so important? Responsive Web design is important today due to the VERY large amount of people that are accessing the internet using something other than a computer, such as phones,tablets,etc. Anything that doesn't have the same screen size as a regular computer is subject into the category of responsive design. What are media queries? A Media query is a CSS technique introduced in CSS3. It uses the @media rule to include a block of CSS properties only if a certain condition is true.

Before and with flash before the age of flash, the internet and websites were a barren wasteland of black and white ( or even just a single monochromatic color) text and nothing but that. with the introduction of flash in the late 90's websites became more vibrant had more moving parts and more interactive pieces. flash guaranteed that the content that was being displayed would look like and behave the same way for anyone on any operating system and in any browser that saw it. Apple However with anything on the internet it will eventually fall or become obsolete. This happened for flash in 2007 when Apple decided not to support flash on their newly introduced IPhone. Around this time HTML5 was starting to emerge and that would be supported instead of the highly loved at the time flash. Flash before this was at its peak. it had been used to create many a interactive website and games that were played by many people every single day. The downfall in 2011 adobe acknowle...

My Topic Website (To check out this page for yourself you can go Here ) For our final project we were assigned to choose a school appropriate topic and then create a informational website based off of that topic. During this process I used the layout that we created earlier in the year and then adjusted the css and added content and images to create the website.  Along the way I learned many things such as to how having multiple css selectors can make changing the css difficult. Also during this project I learned about meta tags, Which are very helpful in having your website be recognized by search engines. Design wise i learned that drastic changes in color are bad and should be avoided at all costs. If I would go back and do something different I would change the topic slightly to be more specific. However I would keep the same color scheme and background for the site because I feel that they fit nicely together. From this I have gathered experience and wil...

Multiplane Scroll Scene In this project we learned how to create a 2d animation by making the scene move and not characters in Adobe After Effects. We learned these skills by demos shown by Mr. Netterville and by self teaching. I picked this project because I feel it was one of the ones we had the most creative liberty for and I feel this turned out pretty good. I very much like the trees and the gradually increasing details that were added to said trees as they got closer to the screen. however, I feel that the animals in the background are a bit out of place especially the bird that is just flying whilst not flapping its wings. I feel like I could fix these things if I went back and edited this project. Hopefully I will be able to use these skills to create more animations like this one. if I could change anything I would change again the silhouette animals in the background. In conclusion this has been one of my favorite animation projects so far. ...
