Cardboard Chair Websites

These are the three websites that i chose that were helpful to me to build a cardboard chair. I think with these websites it will help me on how to build a cardboard chair. The websites are similar, but they have a different  design of the cardboard chair. After reading the websites, i have learned that it is going to take time to make a cardboard chair. The websites give you specific instructions on how to create a cardborad chair. These websites show you how to make it without tape, glue, no metal, and strings. While reading the websites instructions, i hope that i can follow the directions in making a cardboard chair.

good and bad web designs

What did i learn from the articles that i read? The articles that i read was good web design and bad web design. A good web design just replaces the bad stuff and the lack of the bad web design. If you keep the following comcepts in mind, you will probably have a good web page. Text needs to be clear, navigation needs to be correct, links have to go to that page and back to your's, graphics needs to be clear to the reader, and the general design needs to do everything quickly and needs to work. A bad web design is when you lack in everything that you did on your page. There are many features that can make your web look bad. If your background is dull, your text can not be read properly, the links send you to a wrong page, the graphics can not be understood, and tables are in a bad way to understand. Also the blinking and animations are not completed, if the junk is to full, the navigation is unclear to read, and the general design does not fit in the page. After reading these articles, i learned how to make a good web design and learned how the web can be bad. So, i am hoping to fix mine and turn it into a good web design to the readers.

glider 1902


What have i learned from the glider project? The glider that i did was the 1902 glider. I learned a lot about this glider. I learned how to build it by following the steps that i took from it. I learned that the wright brothers made this glider and three more gliders. This glider only had two wings and an elevator to maintain its form in the front like the 1901 glider. There can only be one person on this glider and the person controls it by moving right or left in the direction they want to go. The 1902 glider was built to solve the problems of the 1901 glider. When i was finished with this i went in the hall to fly it and it almost work. I hope that we do another project as fun as this one. Because i really enjoyed doing this project.
