:: Welcome To Realityshift

_This site was created as both an entry into the school district technology fair and as a portfolio for my computer graphics. Created in roughly 4 days, this site consists of content created using various web design programs and languages. These programs include: _It has taken me over 2 years to learn these programs and others. Because of this lengthy learning time this site has been a long time coming.

_These languages, coupled with the programs listed have alowed for me to break the bonds of standerd layout design and set up my own original layout. I used 3D Studio Max along with Photoshop 6.0 to create the background and interface. The main part of the interface was created in Image-Ready 3.0 so that I could set button rollovers much easier.

_Thanks to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) I was able to cut the background picture up and fit it around an IFrame, Allowing for a unique content box in the middle of the main page. Once the Iframe was set up I used CSS to place the piece of the background that is behind the Iframe directly into the Iframe. I used a fixed background to allow the text in the Iframe to move without effecting the background image.

_I choose to use an Iframe on this site instead of tables mainly because I wanted the ability to update quickly, I also wanted the backgrounds to only have to be loaded once because they are rather large, If I had used tables, every time the user went to a new page in my site they would have to load the entire page over again. Iframes are much easier to work with over tables or framesets.

_The Theme I used is based on a wallpaper I made named Trance In Space. This wallpaper was meant to represent the peacefull state between the calm and the storm. I didnt think to use this theme untill a friend from my art community (deviantart) pointed it out to me. Thanks :MarchOfFlames: for a little help on the insperation.
