Phil’s Flash Site
My friend Phil and I had a project for our computer class that involved creating a small web site to demonstrate that we could do it. This project was a team project and we decided to partner up and tackle it together.
The first thing we had to do was to decide on a theme for our web site. Our teacher did not care what the theme of the site was, but insisted that it did have one main theme rather than a collection of thoughts.
We decided to make our theme on pit bulls because both of us have large pit bulls at home. My dog’s name is Thor and his dog’s name is Rascal, named after the band Rascal Flats. This theme seemed perfect because we could easily get pictures of the dogs and knew enough about them to write some content about the dogs.
First we, created some content and took a few additional pictures of our dogs to prepare us for our site creation phase of the project. My mom let us use her brand new digital camera for the task. Our borrowed camera took extraordinary images of the dogs and Phil and I managed to write some pretty compelling articles on pit bulls.
Following this we looked around for a free site to use so that we could save our money for more important things. After searching the Internet for hours we still had not found anything free besides blog sites. Finally Phil stumbled across a link that said click here for a free website and we decided to check it out.
This site turned out to be a great place for creating free flash sites so we decided to sign up and use them. We ended up making a site that had a pit bull game and a long introduction that had pictures of both of our dogs in it. The dogs were animated and the game was fully interactive to use.
In the end we had a lot of fun and got the top grade in our class as well as a positive meeting with the school principle. He asked us if we could make a web site for the school for extra credit. We are now building another website for the school and I think it may even turn out better than the first web site we made on pit bulls.
