exerciseTEN: Site Brief

exerciseSEVEN: Peer Reviews

Matt Williams: Matts website is very clean and easy to use. I really like the way he did his portfolios galleries. Its clear that he really knows what hes doing with web design. In fact, I think he should be a web designer for a real company. 


Emily Reynolds: I really like the home page when you first get to Emily's site. Once you click on the "ER" you get to a clean and simple portfolio. I really like the magnified effect when you scroll over the pictures. I think that the menu on top could use some work to make it more interesting, but over all very nice.

exerciseSIX: Wire Frame

exerciseFOUR: Typography on the Web

Sometimes when designing for the web, you can run into problems with spacing and placement. it takes time to get the right size for lines of text so that it will not confuse viewers who are maybe on a different sized computer than the one you are designing on. Vertical type is also a common problem. Another issue is lack of heirarchy. Sometimes you can be designing for the web, and not think about the hierarchy of your text. Its very important to apply all of the normal solutions to text on the web.

exerciseTHREE: Benefits of CSS

HTML allows you to have a structure, but it only allows for six different text sizes. CSS simply gives you more freedom to design how you would like. You can adjust text however you want, locate things wherever you want, and even control what it will look like printed. CSS just saves you a ton of time when compared to HTML. 

exerciseTWO: Difference Between HTML and CSS

HTML is used to get everything on the webpage. This includes text, images, links, etc. CSS is used to take that information and make it visually appealing with borders, color, etc. CSS gives you virtually endless layout possibilities. CSS also makes it easier to make changes to your page, because you dont have to change one thing at a time like in HMTL.

Mark Zuckerburg is also rich. Super rich. He created Facebook. So hes rich. Him and his friends created Faebook in their dorms at Harvard in 2004. He is now the cheif executive of the company and worth 17.5 billion dollars. He has been the center of a lot of lawsuits from his fellow classmates who accuse him of stealing the idea. Thats up to you whether you think its wrong or not. I say he wins.
