This week we were introduced to text wrangler in our tutorials. Text Wrangler is a strange but interesting form of producing webpages. It is complex without having a tutor telling you everything to do and what it all means. All the signs, letters, symbols and numbers that I don't usually pay attention to on things like updating my myspace or skipping over on the keyboard. I noticed a few little things like:
-what stands for unordered list that are arranged on the webpage in dot points.
-Adding / to the end closes the element.
-what makes a link when typing the link where the dots are. 
-what stands for the main heading.
-fff is white and 000 is black, whilst all other colours vary between these.
Although, I can not type them in because it will arrange this blog post awkwardly due to the codes being used to format webpages.

This is great to learn because when I make a webpage I can do what I want. I don't have to choose a pre-made layout from a free website  maker. It will allow me to be more creative and visually represent my works without being restricted.

For production project A I chose the second option, which was to curate an online exhibition in any medium. So I chose to collect some of my works including photography and film. I added these to a website I chose to name 'Life through Casie's lens'. I did this as it is what i see through the lens and others can view both my life and my love for film and photography. I also chose to add some others websites I enjoy, find interesting or just like to visit. These included www.poorspecimen.com, Taylor Steele's webpage where you can show him footage or music for him to add in one one his surfing films; www.jackmccoy.com, a famous movie maker and photographer for over 30 years; www.flickr.com, a website that you can upload and share photo's with members; www.youtube.com, where you can upload, share and view films; and www.digitalsnowboard.com, a published magazine and DVD of amazing snowboarding footage.

I finished my assignment after realising that I couldn't use iWeb which I had made my entire webpage on because you have to pay to publish it.
I decided to use freewebs.com, which is a really easy and free site for making webpages. It took me afew hours all up to redo it with uploading films, recreating the layout and so on. It is an exhibition of my work, films/photography, plus afew teasers of films that I like. I think it turned out pretty sweet so check it out at www.freewebs.com/louttit and see for yourself.

My assessment is an exhibition on photography and films I have made over the past few years. It is a small exhibition of some of my better works. I chosen to produce this exhibition using iWeb. Although, I have just been told I may not be able to upload it to the internet without paying which is shit because I've been working on it for a while. So I'm goin to go try figure it out.
