CSS Web Project

What we did

This past week we created another web page but this one was for a poem called "Another Reason I don't keep a gun in the House". We began by adding in the starting files and we then created new rules on the different parts such as the headings. Those got changed to different colors, sizes, etc. Once done we added some links and text of our own. The project was fairly easy and simple to be honest. At the beginning the site was just a white page with a dog picture and some text but by the end it had a black background with different text colors and a great variety.

CARP

Contrast is the first letter of CARP and boy was there variety in this project. The texts were different colors and the colors had great contrast with each of their respective background. A great example is the darker tan text on a light tan background. Another was the text sizes with each other.

Alignment is the next letter, this relates to how the text was aligned. The heading/titles were all center aligned. The body was left aligned like most body texts.

Repetition is the next letter. This project had plenty of repetition in it, for example the link at the top of the page is the same dark brown in the heading and the subheading. Another is the text color at the very top of the page being the same of the body paragraph.

Proximity is the final letter of CARP, I feel that the proximity was done fairly well in this project. From the dog to the body I feel that that was a good range of proximity. Another example is the link being attached to the text at the top.

What Was Learned

I learned that you can create rules with the text and the whole file. That was pretty interesting to do because you could see the changes being made to page was you set the rules. Overall the project was a little tricky at points but still really easy all around.
