Final Meeting

It's weird that our last day is tomorrow. The semester actually went by pretty quickly. The class has been pretty tough and frustrating at times for me since I am unfamiliar with most of the programs we used. But there's something really rewarding about seeing a project finally completed after spending countless hours on it. I have seen much creativity throughout the semester and I have no idea why some of the students are even in the class because they made such well-designed, perfectly executed websites. I hope to one day make websites with such skill as the ones I have seen during the class critiques. I think I have really learned a thing or two about web design though. I think I have improved in the areas of: how to craft something that is easy to navigate, how to make sure to keep pages uncluttered and keep clean layouts, how to make it pleasing to the eye and how to make it flow well from one page to another. I want to observe other people's projects to see what stylistic choices they made and how they chose to interact with the audience. Overall, it's been a little difficult but it was worthwhile. My eye for web art and design has definitely improved after taking this class. I hope that I can utilize the skills to work on projects of my own even after this course is over.
