Web Assignments

NFT Digital Art

Using Adobe Photoshop, create an avatar or some sort of character. Next, design or clip different accessories/features onto different layers. Group the accessories into categories (for example: I used hats, glasses, different mouths, and different backgrounds- so each would it’s own layer and grouped accordingly.) Finally, download the photoshop composition composer master file from the internet (JXS file) and run the script. From there it will generate as many variations as possible.

From the Pawboost alert you can visualize the story that we’ve been searching for our four pawed friend. I think telling a story is best told with a mans bestfriend. So to finish this assignment I want you to share your loved furry one. If you have a lost a loved one you have the ability to recreate their image by sharing a photo through this digital storytellin way. See how the community and the rest of the class reacts to a sentimental post, they keep removing my assignment, Or I really don’t know whats going on. I wrote this as part of my nonfiction/fiction blog story, because I wanted a chance to develop my story  Through technology we have a strong impact to express our weakness and reach out to whole communities so Im hoping this stays up with all intentions for people to interact with it.

Go Back in Time

As you probably know, you can use the Wayback Machine from the Internet Archive to see what websites looked like years ago. Take a look at what several different sites looked like in the 90s to get a feel for the style of the times. Then, create a  website that mimics that style, so information should be historically accurate but creative. For example if you choose to style your website after websites in 1998, you could talk about the your new discman or do a movie review of Armageddon, maybe create an AOL chatroom page.
