Project Proposal

The items I received were 420, NT, Wolf, and Iridium. The name I decided on for my company was 420 NT Wolf. My company is a wolf repopulation organization. They are located in New Tecumseth, Ontario. The target audience are nature reserves in areas with a large amount of forests where wolves can live.

How To Dehaze In Photoshop 2015 CC

How to get rid of haze in a photo!

You may be asking youself "What is haze?". Well, Haze is something that occurs in most environments that we also sometimes call "fog". Sometimes when you take a photo from a plane or high up in the mountains there will be a lot of haze that can fog up the photo. I am here to show you how to get rid of that fog.

Here is an example of dehazing that I did earlier:

The Steps

Here is how I did it! I will show you with this photo:

1) Load up the photo into Photoshop
2) Go to Filter > Camera Raw it should look like this:

3) Go to the effects menu and add as much dehaze as you think you need:

4) go to the other menu and make changes as needed (saturation, clarity, etc.):

After all of that you should have a nice, dehazed photo!

Here is how my before and after!

Desktop Vs. Mobile

Mobile has been slowly overtaking desktop over the last few years. Even on our ONWravens.net site, the usage of desktop users has gone down and mobile users have gone up. The bounce rate is higher for mobile users as well. Bounce rate is how the amount of pages someone goes to on a domain before leaving. Mobile users usually bounce pretty quickly.

Even on giant sites like google and amazon mobile users have overtake the desktop users by a large amount. Usually its even by twice as much. I predict that within a few years mobile will largely overtake every type of site.

Cool site mechanics

Cool Site Ideas

This one is cool because it splits up the surfers body into two parts too display how he swims in normal temperatures and in super cold temperatures. This adds depth to the site and is something cool to see about the swimmer and with your eyes. Its just from a photoshop file but it looks super cool.

This one has the div on top get whiter as you scroll farther down. Its cool because it makes the site look like its actually going down and switching pages. It helps add depth to the site. It comes from a scroll setting on the div. 

This is a very cool site mechanic because it shows where the surfer is in the world using google maps. It helps remind you where he is and that he is a real person. Its just a change in google maps but its super interesting.

This is a cool dynamic graph of how the bowler is doing in the sport. It updates as you are loading the page. Its very cool to see and watch it work. Its probably a java thing I honestly don't know.

This is a list of statistics from the bowlers career. Its very interesting and its kind of dynamic in that it loads and stuff when you are looking at it. Its probably also a java thing.

This is a thing about how long the bowler has been playing and a small list of site. This is a very cool thing to watch scroll down to the numbers and whatnot. This is (probably) also a java thing.

CSS Jabberwocky

What it is?

This project was supposed to teach us how important css can be when making a site. The goal was to completely change a site without messing with the html at all. The way to do this was by playing with the CSS. It was a very weird but cool project. 

Before making the site:

Before I actually made the site I layed out all the places where I would put stuff on a piece of paper. This helped me to focus on my goals going into the project and really make it look good. If I hadnt done this the project would have probably taken longer.

The finished piece

Google Fonts

Using google fonts is a super easy thing to do. To do it all you have to do is find one you like here. Then click the export font button and copy the import code. Then paste that code into the style of your site and bam, you have a new font.  There are many fonts to choose from and it only takes a few seconds to do.

You can see examples that I made here.
