HTML Q & A

1. HTML stands for Hypertext markup language, it is the most widely used language that is used to add additional information to a document that gives it additional meaning about a documents structure and formatting.

2. Five examples of HTML tags: "title", "html" , "p","body" , "h1"

You can format these tags by rendering them in a browser.

3. Opening tags open with a "<" angle bracket, and close with a ">" angle bracket
Closing tags open with a "<" angle bracket followed by "/" forward slash and a ">" angle bracket

4. If an element contains other elements, it is thought of as the parent of the enclosed child elements. Any elements contained in the child element, are considered descendants of the outer parent elements

What I worked on/learned today...



Worked on some images that I plan to use in Adobe After Effects, for my WIWTD project. Probably going to work on a few more images tomorrow, after watching more of the tutorial for fracture effects. Speaking of tutorial, today I learned how to fracture something, though I havn't quite perfected it myself. I also learned how to add code to animations in After Effects and add filters in Adobe Photoshop.

WOWTD

As of today, I experimented with Adobe After Effects to get a better feel for the program.

Learned How To:

-Add default images and backgrounds
-Delete layers
-Transform objects
-Format different things of an object, or effect, like blur and opacity
-Add effects like sharpen
-Tell what tool goes to what shortcut, even though quite a few have the same shortcut and you just cycle through them
-Add an effect to change color
-Create a simple animation
