Matthew B's introduction

Greetings!

My name is Matthew Brill, and I'm an alcoholi-----wait, wrong blog...

I am a student at SNC and should be graduating with an interdisciplinary degree in digital art and computer science come May 2013. I enjoy doing stuff when I'm not doing things, and doing things when I'm not busy doing stuff.

I couldn't say what websites I frequent, as I tend to surf the net, but I am going to throw Chris off here before he realizes I just copied and pasted my previous post and link to Stack Overflow instead of Least I Could Do.

Hello

... my name is Carrie.

                                                                                                                      I design outwear! 
 

I just came back from the Caribbean where I was sailing around for a month to all the different islands with my pirate parents...

Alexa's intro

Hello everybody! My name is Alexa but my nickname is Big Cakes. 

I have been attending college for 5 years now and have finally figured out that I was meant to be an art major. I love cats, unicorns, and gangster music. I am also a swimmer, dancer, and technology enthusiast all of which I hope will be reflected in my work in this class. A website I visit often is StumbleUpon

I am a environmental science student and this class is my first art class.
I have no sense of art, so I hope my web site would be at least readable for everyone.
If you want to help me on it, feel free to leave comment on the post of send me an e-mail

Intro Post: Chris

Hi my name is Chris. I teach this class.

Here is a site I visit often: Comics Reporter

There are two books coming out in 2013 from the line, both of which feature the series design work by Jason Booher and Helen Yentus. According to a statement supplied CR by the publisher, the series is designed to reflect the way that mid-20th Century manga was less "an independent world of its own" than in part reflective of a significant influx of American comics and cartoons from the 1920s through the 1970s. The line promises both largely forgotten one-offs and ignored work from various manga superstars.

That's the end of the quote.

Web Design Class Spring 2013: Welcome

Welcome to the blog for the web design class.

My apologies in advance for missing out on class next Thursday. You have a two-part assignment to complete before next class, which will be a week from today – Tuesday, 1/29.

PART ONE

Make a post on this blog. You should: a) write a short paragraph about yourself, b) include a picture of yourself, and c) provide a link to a website that you like or visit often.

PART TWO

Be prepared, next class, to talk about why you like the website for a presentation of five to ten minutes. Write and print out an outline, which you will hand in on Tuesday's class (this is not a full paper, but an outline you can refer to in your presentation). Talk about:

1. The design of the site

You should be able to describe the use of:
a) color
b) fonts
c) images
d) the general layout

How do each of these elements serve (or undermine) the purpose and content of the website? What is the emotional or design quality of each of these elements? For instance, a site designed for children might use colors that are bright, vivid, and friendly -- with a font that appears playful or toy-like.

2. The navigation of the site

How it the site organized? How do you get from place to place? Is the content on the site easily accessible? Are there different navigation schemes on different parts of the site, or is it consistent across the site?

3. The functionality of the site -- what the site "does."

Also, if you have a website of you own, post a link to that as well.

And don't forget -- I highly recommend you order the book "Visual Quickstart Guide to Dreamweaver CS6," online.

Finally -- if you'd like to download a copy of the syllabus, it's here:
