PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES

1. Work through a git tutorial. 2. Build a personal site in the class archive describing you and your final project

1. WORKING THROUGH A GIT TUTORIAL

This is my first time working with GIT. At first it sounded very complex but I read some tutorials and took advice from friends. Once I understood how Git works it it was really easy to continue. You can see this tutorial: http://bit.ly/MgjmhR

Following the FabAcademy manual I was able to configure the keys that give access to the GitLab that contains the repository to load our files.

First thing to do is clone the fablab esan repo.

Once I had the repo in my computer I used the command cd to enter a folder. Then I used the command ls to see what was inside each folder.

The part that I found difficult was to load the files since at first I did it one by one and it took quite a while. Then I erased everything and started again. Using the command git pull origin master I updated the repo in my computer. Then I copied all my files inside my folder and I executed the commands git add . and git commit

To upload my files to the remote repo I used the command git push origin master.

This is the visual version of all the work done with Git.

2. PERSONAL SITE : MAKING OFF

This is the first time I set up a web page. I was recommended to work on Adobe Muse because it has a very friendly environment and you can preview how it would be published as you go.

I followed several Youtube tutorials. Adobe Muse is a program quite easy to understand and you can use different widgets to make it much more dynamic according to what you want to show. you can follow this tutorial: https://adobe.ly/2kOu0Pb

One of the widgets that I used the most for displaying pictures was "slideshow". I like this because it allows you to show several pictures without overloading the page with elements.

Adobe Muse allows you to make the page responsive in such a way that the format will fit the different measures of tablets and electronic devices. I am working on this following this tutorial: https://adobe.ly/1KauIkD

The commands are fairly simple. You can work with masks that allow you to insert photos, give effects and work as buttons inside your page.

Adobe Muse has several simple effects that put together make the website look well worked. For example you can use transparencies and when passing the mouse over the photo it takes greater intensity.

Adobe Muse allows you to view the total number of pages that make up your web file. You can create master pages that will work as a template.
