Week 8 Of Web

week 8 of web has been decent. I honestly really dislike web. I get it sometimes as far as the assignments and what the projects are on. I'm still very confused with CSS and the style sheet mark up and how to detect mistakes. I honestly at this point have zero patience and just want January to get here so I can be done with web FOREVER yes FOREVER !

Week 7 Of Web

Week 7 of web. Was a lot of information that we covered the last 3 weeks of web. We went over many things that we have already learned. We learned and went in depth about tables how to position and design tables in HTML. We learned how padding is very important when designing a website. Week 7 was a lot of small steps on how to make your page more visually pleasing to the eye. Everything from padding to white space and the proper positioning of your navigation and tool bars. It was a lot of dos and don'ts of the proper way to design in HTML and CSS.   

Week 6 Of Web

Week 6 of web has been a little on the overload side for me. I notice that lectures and class time more and more info being given to us. Now that we have learned the basics on how CSS and HTML work we are getting into more of how the website needs to look and navigate. We are getting into more tables and different types of navigations when designing a web site also the different types of styles of layout such as linar or horizontal style. Im hanging in there I hop the next 4 weeks I continue to learn and all the new information is understandable.

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.
