life’s not a paragraph

web design two was definitely a step up from one. not because the class was better or anything but because i already had a bunch of html under my belt. i am so glad that i finally got my own website and that i feel capable enough to build a site.

our projects– the type specimen, the movie trailer site, the flash ads– really helped me feel comfortable enough to make it happen and gave me the skills and the experience to do so. it makes me excited to learn more and allow my knowledge to grow as the web world does.

other than the website (which as great as it was, it was super frustrating) i loved doing the type specimen. as limiting as a bunch of random words and figures look, you can really make a personality or a feeling shine through on the web. there are so many options; it’s seemingly endless. i was able to translate the feeling and style of the arts and crafts movement through the web even though they were completely against technology. that’s pretty cool right?
