Last Summer, I took HTML & CSS - Level 1 at the School of Visual Concepts.
Pocket Shots is the project website I worked on during the quarter.
The task was to create, design, and develop a 3-5 page website throughout the course by executing the concepts of the class.
My idea was to make a website that compares and contrasts Point & Shoot film cameras. The name was derived from the simple fact that you could take great "shots" from cameras that fit in your "pocket."
Each page of the website shows a camera, some information of that camera, and sample photographs from that camera.
For the project I chose the Olympus Stylus Epic, Olympus XA, Yashica T4 & T4 Zoom, and Contax T2.
I wanted to keep the website simple and have more emphasis on the images.
It looks similar to the layout of this website (www.markbanaag.com) because I wanted to see if I could recreate the layout. Although this website is more complex since it is a customized Squarespace template (secret's out) , it is important to me that I am able to understand to some extent the coding of my website.
There are plenty of things to do if I were to continue the project website, however I am happy to have more experience with HTML and CSS.
My previous experience was in the strictly HTML days through Angelfire and Geocities. All layout and content was all on one coded page.
If I find a way to host Pocket Shots and the website I'm currently working on in HTML & CSS - Level 2, so that you can experience the website by means of this website, I will.
The images are fullscreen screenshots of the pages from the project website.
All the images within the screenshots are my images that were taken with the respective cameras. The images of the cameras were taken with an iPhone 4S.
