The light at the end of the tunnel never gets brighter or dimmer, it just stays the same.

Hello,Guten Tag, Salut,,Ciao, Dzien Dobry,Hey,Hi,How are ya?

This is my ninth Blog post(closed for business and last weeks don’t count so it’s technically the 7th i”ll be graded on so lets get to it.

The Website

I feel like I’ve been pretty vague about my website over the past couple of weeks,saying things but not of any meaning, this here,is where that changes.I’m a day away from completing it,I’ve got about 5 more sub-pages to write up and then it’s 100%,the last 5 will be light on text so it’ll be a doddle tomorrow.

The Process

As I’ve said before the idea of the website is to create a website for the School,Pencey Prep(A location in J.D Sallinger’s Catcher in the Rye), i had very little to go on from the book,a couple names,a a vague location and no real description of the school,so all that was left to me.

I started visiting all kinds of schools(from primary to university) websites and noted what they all had in common, the layout,heading and text of nearly everything on the website is a paragon of all the buzz words and pompous shite,you find on any school website. It was fun to collect notes for it and write it up, the text found on the website, i feel is supposed to be intentionally boring and elitist,much like the sense and mood, Holden describes it as in the novel.

I was halfway through my first draft of the website when i scraped the whole thing, a few weeks work was to me now useless,a bad layout and a Frankenstein’s monster of text that sounded horrible. So i started over found a new layout and took the monster of text and compressed it into my own words and well way of structuring.

All the images found on the Site come from Pexels.com, a royalty free image hosting site that allows free use of any image without the need to reference the text,the amount of images are limited but it just had enough that i could space them out over the Site.

Everything Else

Sub-editing is over, another 50% assesment. We all should be fine i’d imagine. Most of us did well in InDesign so we don’t need that much marks to pass the module

I’ve taken a break from history from the time being,i’ll be starting my essay in the coming days

With english,i’m just getting as much reading done as i can in the next few days and slowly laying out my essay.

And i’m still Exempt from radio

Conclusion

I’d normaly have my recommandations now but i’ve had a change of plans,with everything being more or less done now. There isn’t much point waiting til next week, so i’ll post my final post of the Semester Tommorow. Where i’ll discuss the semester as a whole,the people along the way and my main take aways from a year in University.

For those that have read all of these, i’d like to say sorry,thank you and Dog Bless you.

Goodbye,Auf Wiedersehen, Au Revior, Ciao, Do Widzenia,See ya,good luck, mind yourself because someone out there loves ya, but it ain’t me kid.
