We are officially a quarter of the way through the semester, and I’ve already learned so much while reviewing and practicing plenty of older concepts. The past few weeks were more hands-on and deeper in terms of learning experience, so here’s a recap of what that looked like for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Something I’m glad our class retouched on was typography. Is always good to go back and review this topic since typography is far more than a mere visual experience, but simultaneously a symbolic one that makes a difference beyond words. Many of us focus heavily on our typefaces’ readability, neglecting harmony, story, and brand. Revisiting the r.e.m. beauty site for our discussion board on typefaces reminded me of the way typography serves as a channel of communication when it comes to overall themes that must be conveyed. Using a monospace font in combination with simple yet loud headings, the designers convey a retro-futuristic appearance that the founder of the brand is striving for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, I found hands-on practice with HTML and CSS to be quite refreshing and fun. Through this, I learned how to center content on the web (using margin:auto;), which could help me with future projects of my own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, the past two weeks have been full of new learning and revisits of older concepts, but significantly beneficial. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
