ADOBE XD

Is Adobe XD easy to use for the first time? This week we had to create an outline for our Mid-Term Projects. I was debating whether to use Adobe XD or Illustrator.

WHAT IS CSS?

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets its a declarative language and its a great way to organize the content by changing the layout, adding color, and changing fonts.

In class we have been learning the basics of HTML and CSS of assembling it on Dreamweaver. The basic elements of creating the specific code we want as in <header> <p> <a href> <h1> <body> , etc to create and become familiar in the basics of setting up the code for a website. Also learning how to transfer files on an FTP I use FileZilla, to make our sites live has really been exciting. We are also setting up a portal page to link our projects for this semester.

here’s a little video I found that was interesting for typography

Diving Into the Basics of CSS

It’s important to know how to change the basic rules of CSS using Dreamweaver, such as font, color, and spacing.

CSS Refresh and font-size.

These are two topic I have struggled with and one is resolved. I have the answer, Your Welcome. The other will probably be an ongoing learning battle.

Return to HTML

It’s been over a year since I’ve taken Web Design I. I took interaction design in fall of 2021, but I still felt like I needed to improve my HTML and CSS skills more.

IDs vs Classes in HTML

When I first started learning HTML the differences between IDs and classes wasn’t very clear to me and I would mix them up often. I thought they were interchangeable, and while they do very similar things they have their differences and advantages. Here’s a refresher!

SCSS/Parallax/Bootstrap

These couple of weeks we have spent learning about SASS/SCSS, Parallax technique, and a little bit on Bootstrap. All three are very interesting and useful, probably Bootstrap is less useful among them, but still quite cool to learn about.

The Challenge…

I can’t believe we are already finishing up week 10. We’re almost finished with the semester. Honestly, it feels like we just started. It’s definitely been an adjustment going from an in-class learning environment to a completely online classroom.

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.

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.

Mid-Way Already??

Crazy to think that we are already at a point to think of the mid-term! Last week was overwhelming for me and even though this week was the same workload I seem to have found a good balance. Thank goodness because it was a learning curve this week.

Almost One Month of School Already

Hello! I cannot believe that one month has already passed for school already. One month in, and I feel like I have already done so much. I am pretty sure that online classes make it seem like I have more work to do in general. The whole process of going through online classes is still a weird feeling even after a month. I think I will adjust overtime. It is a weird feeling of going through lectures whenever you want, having to learn what is taught yourself, and then doing the assignments just seems so different since I have been attending classes physically for the past 20+ years.

Time is going by…

I can’t believe that we are already a few weeks in. I feel like time is going by really fast. We have already reviewed HTML mark up and now we’re onto CSS, typography, and FTP.

CSS, typography and time management

During these two weeks I learned very interesting terms about CSS and Typography and I wish I have few more hours to put in reading and research.

Busy Week!

Wow this week has been FULL of information! FTP, Portal Site, Typography …

CSS, FTP, FONTS

These couple of weeks we covered a bunch of themes. We discussed the major CSS principles, glanced over FTP clients and interactions with web servers, and, the fun part, discussed typography in general fonts in web design in particular.

My Learning goals

I really enjoy learning HTML and CSS and want to keep perfecting them until I can accurately reach my goal.

Why did I start learning HTML/CSS?

I wanted to make this post as an introduction to where I started learning HTML and CSS properties. I know most of us had made given a brief background into their HTML and CSS history in their discussion posts, but I thought it would be great if everyone replied to this post with a more in-depth look into your stories and why you decided to continue to learn this subject.

WordPress more than a blog site

WordPress isn’t that scary or hard as I though, even more easy to operate. I might even say I can see myself enjoying using it. WordPress is way more than just a blog site.
