New Concept and Finishing Mid-Terms

Hello once again to a journal entry! Today on the news, AAD 86’s students have been busy doing their mid-terms while balancing other classes and learning new cool concepts on the web and design. Will they be able to get their designs how they want them to be? What did they learn in the past week? Tune in on channel…. wait this is not a news casting station??? That is ok tune in for more below!

Failure, Frustration, Acceptance the week 8 saga. . .

These last two weeks have been very challenging for me. While I am learning that there is so much variety in creating a webpage layout, making images and text go into specific boxes, or arrangements.

Responsive Design

I really enjoy these last two weeks. Most of the time when I learn something from a mistake it is more effective and I learn an obvious rule of cascade for stylesheet when working on a concentric website.

Responsive Design, Midterm + Life

This week has been a definitely been a long one for me. Work has restarted and I have been in the process of moving across town into a new house when all of my major projects were due. It’s been a nightmare trying to juggle it all, but I’m slowly getting back into it again.

Midterm and Responsive Design

This week was a doozie! A lot of learning, re-editing and, editing, and editing again – looking at the microsites, re-looking at the microsites! Midterms, half way through this semester! What a whirlwind of a learning curve.

Learning Responsive design

Well these last few weeks have been pretty fun, I am really enjoying our midterm project. That may be because it only focuses on the design aspect and not the technical aspect of actually coding it! lol

Mid-Term Week

Well this mid-term project threw me for a loop for sure. I was so happy to get some peer reviews that were helpful along the way.

Half Way Through

This week we finally touched responsive design! Yay!

Week 6 in Web Design

This week focused on different ways of creating layout.

Week 6 is Here!

It is crazy to think we are already so far into the semester. We started the midterm

wk 6: Getting familiar with XD Design

It’s been another big week and I can feel my brain swelling as long as it doesn’t explode then it’s been a good week. This week we practiced laying out the design on different screen widths. I decided to try out Adobe XD.

Weeks 5 & 6 – CSS Layout Challenges, Levels of Web Design, and more

The past couple of weeks have been really busy. I guess mid-semester always is at least a bit overwhelming.

Week 6, Midterm and Grids!

These weeks fly by! Packed with information, I feel like I’m in a complete package of hectic learning, working, eating, sleeping and repeat! This week we started learning CSS tags for creating grid layouts and began our midterm project.

All the New Subjects Start Now

Hello once again! I am just finishing week 6 of my semester, and wow, everything is starting to pick up around this time in these past 2 weeks that has already passed. I have had to finish around 2 big assignments in my AAD52 and AAD60 classes. Now my AAD86 is starting to pick up on the learning material now too. Having to juggle four different classes is starting to show its true colors.

Starting the midterm project!

Well! This has been a fun ride already. the content and assignments are getting tougher but I am learning alot…

Floats, Flexbox, and Grids, what weeks 5 & 6 taught me.

I felt like Dorothy these last two weeks, being swept up in a tornado of floats, flexbox, and grid challenges. Watching the instructional videos, and then working along with the videos, worked for the most part. But something went akimbo when trying to put what I learned to the challenges.

CSS Lay outs

During the last two weeks we learn about different CSS layouts and read a very interesting article by Rachel Andrew. According to article today we have real choice for approaching our designs. This article was a little bit overwhelming for me but it opens new doors of opportunity for better designs and more knowledge.
