Tell me a bit about your background and what prompted you to take this class.
I'm required to take this class - but VERY excited about it!
Do you have any experience with HTML/CSS/JS? If so, tell me a bit about it.
I have no background in coding in any way.
Name one thing you hope to learn in this class.
I hope to learn how to code a full working website for my portfolio.
Name one way you expect designing for screen to be different from designing for paper.
I'm expecting designing for screen to be more mathematical or precise which is something that I'm really looking forward to.
Provide a link to a website you think exemplifies effective design. Explain your choice.
I think this website is really beautifully designed (it is a com des senior's portfolio website) because it is both unique and also effectively shows off her personal design and scrolls nicely to display it all.
Provide a link to a website you think exemplifies effective communication. Explain your choice.
I realize that its a little ironic that I chose a website that helps build websites when we're learning html, but I think the way the website is layed out its very effective in communicating what they're selling and in giving you a preview of the product in whatever way you would use it.
Provide a link to a website you think works well. Explain your choice.
WiredI spend a lot of time on wired, and I think it works really nicely, and gives easy and clear access to what you need
