Out of Class Work Day 4/17

What I Did and Why I Did It

For my out of class work today I really focused on gathering a lot of images for the site.  Each of the eight Princesses has a photo gallery on their respective site so when you multiple 6 pictures by 8 Princesses that’s a lot of image searching and image siting.  I also finalized the “base” page that the rest will be mimicked off of – Ariel’s page.  My next step will be to actually duplicate Ariel’s page to each other Princesses’ and then incorporate their respective question answers.  It’s shaping up nicely and I’m happy with the progress I’ve made and place I’m at.

 

Documentation Plan

Because of the medium I decided to use for my project, I have a LOT of things to site.  One of my biggest things with siting is I need to keep things organized.  It’s not enough to just say “Ariel Picture,” I like to know exactly which one and give credit where credit is due.  For this reason, I decided to use the GoogleDoc citation version that was presented to us in class.  I think it is a good way of keeping everything organized and concise.  I also like this option because, since I am doing a Weebly website, I do not want to clutter the website body with citations everywhere.  I plan to make a separate page under “About” titled “Cited Works” and have a downloadable copy of the Excel sheet there available for readers.  I completely understand how important it is to cite but I just don’t want it taking away from the overall quality of my project.

I’m incredibly excited for this project and am finding it really difficult to concentrate on other classes because I just want to work with the Princesses all day. Yes, I’m still secretly 5 years old.
