SketchUp Excercise 2

This design was somewhat difficult. You had to learn through trial and error to come with a final result. I had to start over about 3 times just to make my components right and to get everything correct. This design was a very tedious process

Google SketchUp

Google  Sketchup can take on many definitions because it's used in many different ways. Some use it as a 2-D design tool. Others see it as a 3-D design tool. You can use it to tour your existing designs, and to add textures to them. One way to understand Sketchup is to make something with it and explore its set of tools. This will give you greater confidence in applying your experience to create your own definition of Sketchup.

Good Bad Web Design Classmates

My classmate Travis has an overall great web design. It is somewhat easy to read because his background is black and some of his text is grey. I really didn't see any other problems. All of his hyperlinks are functioning correctly and his time format is correct. The only thing that is wrong is that he has some misspelled words in his post. He can easily correct this by editing his post and use a spell check. I also did Joseph blog his blog is very great and is very easy to understand his time formatting is correct and his hyperlinks are functioning. Overall he has a great page.

Good Bad Web Design

One of the elements of a good web design is a lack of the elements that make bad web design. Learning how to create a blog is very easy and overall I have a great web design. The website Ive created is very legible and very easy to understand. Through learning about what is a good or bad web design I've learned the wrongs and rights of creating a web page. I have no ads or pop-ups that can slow the speed of my page. My text style is simple and easy to read the font is not too large or too small. my web design is great and I seek to find any imperfections that I can improve on with my page. It would be helpful if I get feedback from some one and improve on the things that I have wrong.

Wind Turbine Review

The basic form of the windmill hasn't changed since the first century. A windmill has a set of blades or slats mounted on a central axis which is designed to revolve as the slats are pushed by the wind. The axis connects to a system of gears to turn machinery which can do things like operate a millstone for the purpose of grinding grain, pumping water, or generating electricity. In my engineering class we had to build a windmill out of paper that creates a substantial amount of electricity. It was very time consuming but at the end it worked out. Wind turbines are very effective if you live in windy areas. Many people use them to create electricity to power their homes or any other electrical equipment. Wind is a renewable resource that will never go away so wind turbines benefits everyone
