EOC Week 6: 5 Ways to Liven Up the Website Homepage

5 ways to liven up the website home page

One way I could get people to stay on my page is by adding some kind of graphic. For example, I could have someone make a gif of me shooting pets. Or I could take a number of photos from a past shoot that are very similar to each other and make a mini slideshow of them.

            
Another idea I have is to create a full page slideshow that showcases not my best work but one photo from each category that will make the viewer want to see what else I can do.

            
Maybe I could look around and find a moving foreground that changes with the weather. It would change from sun rays, to clouds, to rain, and others.

            
If I could figure out how to do it, I could maybe take a vector of a camera that flashes and develops (fades in from black) with each photo as it shows a slide show of some of my work. Or I can just have the photo develop without a camera but I think that would be boring.            

The last thing I can think of would be having a super-fast slideshow zoom through my best photos. It will maybe make people click on other pages to go find a particular photo and look at it better. The show would go just slow enough that people will see what the subject of the photo is but too fast to really examine or see the photo.

EOC Week 4: Devil Wears Prada - Deeper meaning

The Devil Wears Prada is about a woman who has just graduated with a degree in Journalism and is looking for a job. She’s pretty much given up searching for anymore jobs and decides to try working for a fashion magazine as a last resort. She goes for an interview and very surprisingly gets a job as an assistant to an editor-in-chief.

            She did many things wrong for the interview. First, she didn’t do any research about the place she was looking to work at. Next, she didn’t dress right at all. Lastly, she made comments that she shouldn’t have. If she had done her research, she would have dressed in something high fashion that was in season at the time, she would have known the person she would be working for, and she wouldn’t have felt so awkward. When she was talking to the person that interviewed her, she didn’t lie about who she was but the way she answered the questions made her seem totally unprepared (which she was) and very awkward.

            I think she got the job from the last comments she made. The boss said something negative about her and she fired back with a confident statement about why she should hire her because she’s smart and a good worker. If she acted like that the whole time and was prepared with the right clothes and research, she probably would’ve gotten the hiring offer before she made the comment. If she had just walked away instead of commenting, she would’ve been a face in a crowd and forgotten the next hour.
