Computational Media - Week 7 (24-10-17)

Messing with Websites

This week's worksheet required us to manipulate the New York Times homepage and make some local updates to understand the HTML and CSS structures and components.

And as you can see, I had some fun celebrating the late centenarian sprinter, Julia Hawkins.

The first task on the worksheet was "margins or padding". I'm not too sure what needed to be done with this task, and I also couldn't figure out how to make visible changes other than scale since they function as spacers which inherently would not have visual properties like color. So Instead, I screenshot them as they were highlighted.

Then we were tasked to 

1. Add a 20px red border somewhere
2. Change a headline and make it red
3. Animate an image using the animate() function
   

I kinda lost steam after the headline portion and did not to a deep dive into the animations. Maybe for another project, that would be something I explore...?
