#1 CANVAS: Using any text editor, create a landscape or a portrait - it can be totally experimental - using the HTML5 CANVAS. It must contain AT LEAST 10 shapes.


I didn't know how to post the actual HTML in here, so I took a screen shot of it. I have never done anything with HTML before so this was definitely interesting for the first project in this class. At first I just started out messing around with all of the different elements but when I put in the gradient in the background, that was where the ideas all started really flowing and coming together. It helped that the weekend coming up after this project was Gasparilla.
I wish I knew more about how to code HTML because I would have moved the big ship over to the right more, I would have made the background look more like the sea and sky, and the cannon would have actually been facing the smaller ship.
I am fairly happy with how this came out however, because it is a whole composition, not just random elements. I have a lot more respect for web designers now whose job it is to work entirely in HTML and make webpages that look FAR BETTER than what I created here.
