Week 4 Of Web.

Week 4 of web, I cant believe I made it through my first web class! I thought this class would be more challenging and difficult to understand but, so far so good! This week we went over style sheets, what they mean what they do and why we need them when creating a website. I now know also how to navigate through dreamweaver. How to create new html and css pages and how to properly save files in folders that involve dreamweaver. Dreamweaver used to be very intimating but now that I know how to use it. Its saves me time as a designer and makes designing a website easier for a graphic/web designer user friendly. We also learned more css design codes this week, as far as making are website more appealing to the eye. Going into class two of web development I would like to understand the code a little better as far as the steps of doing things and why certain codes are needed to do certain things. The one on one help with my instructor has been very helpful as well. I get a lot of knowledge when navigating and helping me through all my issues that I come across. So far so good, One class closer to being done with web only Three more to go! BRING IT! 

Week 3 Of Web

Week 3 of web is definitely less stressful then the past two weeks of web. This week we have finally started working in dream weaver. I now also understand why we learned HTML and CSS in text edit to begin with. Dream weaver does a lot of the work for you as far as editing files and code it even gives you an option to work in design mode. But learning in text edit defiantly helps find errors and actually understanding the code itself. But one things if for sure I will not miss working in text edit! This week I am working on my first project assignment witch is creating a Copyright website about copy writing. Its a pretty boring topic but its something a graphic designer needs to know in the real world. I also cant complain on this assignment actually being two assignments in one. The copyright research information and then the website layout design being the other part of the project. So far everything is going well; I'm going to try my best to hang in there until December when web classes are finished. 

Week 2 Of Web

Second week of web is going ok. This week we learned about images and the quality a image should be for proper website development. We learned about JPEG and PNG quality on a website layout type. We learned how css styles the website as far as color, size and font style as well as layout format. I'm more then ready to start editing and creating in Dream Weaver. Working with text edit and safari is no fun going back and forth to each and every window every time I edit. I'm just glad I am understanding everything. The book we are using for this class is also a lot of help. I find myself going back to my highlighted pages and finding my answers and solutions that way. 

Week 1 Of Web.

My first week of web so far has been challenging. Its a hard transition to design in adobe programs for the last 8 months then switch to web language of text and create and design that way. This week we have learned the basics of web HTML and web CSS. I do get the format and style guide on the web works, but let me tell you its not pretty colors or images that we are creating in text edit, Its all code and text language . I'm a little confused on how converting CSS to HTML for style guides and sheets but I hope in do time it will all click and fall together.
