Nathan George- Historical Geology- M3 Lab #2 Ex#1 Geologic Time and the Solar System Time Line

Huzaaaaah! Final project completed!

This is the final M6 project for the semester. The webpage cover is for a National Historic Monument for the National Park Service located in Rome, New York. Having spent for than 2,000 cumulative hours volunteering at many NPS sites, Fort Stawix is perhaps closest to the heart from my time with the Oneida Indian Nation's Living History Program, although the program was disbanded several years ago.

This project is comprised of 20+ layers and does not include the multiple effects and/or mask layers. Perhaps the hardest part of this project was finding high resolution images that fit within the concept sketch, as many images were not suitable. Therefore, I had to spend significant time looking until I remembered a famous artists, Don Troiani (http://www.dontroiani.com/), who's work from a prior Oneida Indian Nation commissioned project on the "Battle of Oriskany" painting.

I chose to use elliptical tabs in various colors and put a British and Colonial soldiers on them. I also chose to do the same for the Oneida Indian Nation's participation in the American Revolution, siding with the Colonists and using an Oneida Warrior (image of myself). I also included a tab for historic treaties signed at Ft. Stanwix. Additionally, a tab for background detail on each participant's role in the siege of the fort during August 1777. The webpage also represents the form of a map of the fort, where I placed the tabs for each party with the center represented by the treaties tab.

Now I couldn't complete this webpage for the National Park Service without including their seal and adding representations of historic weapons of the 18th century. That being, a charleville flint lock musket, an officer's sabre and a "hawk" that would have been used by the Oneida warriors. Incidentally, could be used as a weapon of war or an implement of peace as one end of the "hawk" is a pipe and the opposite end a tomahawk.

In the background is a British mortar crew firing on the fort and from a bastion of the fort, a 3rd NY artillery crew is returning fire. Now this may mean nothing to you as a reader, but the British crew is a hand painted cast model, whereas the fort's artillery crew are Park Ranger friend's of mine at Valley Forge Historic Park. Each are scaled down to try to give the correct perspective.

An finally, public media buttons to share the site or any information within the site and capped off with my "©2016 Nate George Designs" copyright information.

The final project will be a webpage using Ft. Stanwix (Rome, NY) as the focus during the timeframe of the American Revolution. The unique design of the fort (the four diamond shaped corners) will be locations to click on to see a menu for either the American Colony of NY, the British, the purpose of the fort's location and the contribution of the Iroquois Confederacy (Oneida Nation). Within each menu will be a submenu offering more information about each group.

The idea of the website design is to make the page look like an 18th century map, so for the main page I will try to make it look "old". I hope to find a suitable text script that resembles handwriting of a turkey quill tipped pen and ink used during the time period.

At the center of the page will be an aerial view of the fort that hopefully will show the topography of the land on which the fort was built, as this is the reason the fort was constructed by the British during the French and Indian War and later used by the American Army during the American Revolution. Today, this site is considered a National Historic Monument and is under the care of the National Park Service, the reconstructed fort is not original. However, the location of the fort does sit is on the exact footprint of the original for built in 1758.

Here is my latest attempt using a few more advanced tools in Photoshop. This is my avatar on an Oneida Warrior wearing a brocade black velvet jacket with gold embroidery. "Olite" (meaning "Always returns home") has bear claw applied war paint on his face, traditional practice of cut ear lobes (status symbol), quahog shell ear rings, tattooed face and forehead and maple leaf "sparkles" (the white skin treatment) to his blued avatar skin. His eyes and nose were enlarged, longer eye lashes added

I initially was going to add strawberry leaf detail for texture, but getting this much detail was very time consuming, but it was pretty darned interesting that I didn't even realize I spent my whole Sunday sitting at my desk working on the project! And finally, Olite's background is layered with a woodland forest and Fort Stanwix National Monument (Rome, NY), which was originally built in 1758 during the French and Indian War by the British and was also rebuilt and occupied by the Americans in 1776, during the American Revolution.

I am using a high resolution picture taken of me by a professional photographer from when I involved with an 18th century Living History enactment group for my avatar. I'm thinking of using the color and texture of a strawberry leaf for the skin texture of my avatar. The background for the avatar with either be in a woodland tree setting with white pine trees predominant, similar to the movie, Avatar with the mother tree. An option for another background setting is to use Ft. Stanwix National Monument.

Since I already had this image at hand, it made sense to use the image to jot down possible goals for the transformation of the image into my avatar for the project, vs. sketching from scratch on paper. I'm curious to see where this goes!
