I feel very grateful and accomplished for the opportunity to learn something like this. I especially like the idea of the parallax effect and plan to continue to practice and find ways to implement that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know I am improving, and here is why. &nbsp;&nbsp;I looked at a website today that I made previously.&nbsp; At the time I designed it, I was very proud of it and thought it looked great.&nbsp; However, when I looked at it today for the first time in a while, I was much less impressed.&nbsp; It seemed boring and bland, and I immediately started thinking about things to change or ways to redesign altogether, with some of the concepts we learned about in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It reminded me of when I first started in photography. I was once so proud of some of the early images I took. &nbsp;Only later, as I improved, did I realize how far I had come when I looked at the images with a more critical eye and improved skillset, &nbsp;and realized how bad they were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope to be so lucky in the future as to continue to improve in both these areas enough to look back at where I am now in the same why and appreciate how much further I have come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At times the material in this class feels like a waterfall.
