Ellison Brown

CPCC Student

Hello there! My name is Ellison Brown and I am a prospected graduate from Harper Middle College at CPCC. By May of 2024, I will have earned an Associate in Arts, an Associate in Science (biology-focused), and a certificate in Graphic Design.

I have always loved art and have recently taken up an interest in human anatomy; to me, the human body is a fascinating artistic scene to explore.

I plan to take a college and career path that combines both science and art. I am looking into medical illustration which I currently find to be my perfect personal interest baby.

CSS Portfolio

This project is what you're viewing right now! This is the first project I'm doing to start learning CSS. I am halfway through the project as I'm writing this and I can say that it is quite a lot, but I'm enjoying my time. Writing these about sections are more difficult to come up with then the code itself, but that might just be a me problem. I have faith that this project will turn out well!

Kevin Cookie Company

This project was for learning the basics of HTML. The website itself, much like this one, was already created by someone else that used their knowledge to create a tutorial for learners. I did end up creating my "own" site, but if you're curious the original website can be found here. My creation is much less polished than the example, but for learning the basics it was quite helpfu!
