week 4

In week 4 of class we finished our projects and got to present. The presentation met there purpose of informing me but it also got me thinking how can one present a topic that most people don't know about and make it interesting. what makes a presentation memorable in a good way?
I Understood more information when the presentation was interactive. If i pay more attention to a presentation that is informative but upbeat than to a list of facts being read word for word off note cards how many other people might learn if a presentation is Kept professional but also have a good amount of energy.

What i learned this week was what copy right is. How it is able to protect others and why it is so important to ask for permission when using someone product. I also learned that it is best to keep the disabilities of other people in mind when it comes to creating something because you loss a lot of potential business if you don't. If you create a web site make sure it is user friendly and try your best to make it easy to find if you don't optimize your page to be search engine friendly people might not see your page.

week 3

In week 3 I started my web page on social media. It wasn't as bad as i thought it would be social media helps when promoting a product or oneself. It cost nothing but time and can really help when it comes to being recognized by others. I feel that my web pages are very simple and when it comes to adding animation i haven't been able to grab the concept to well. Simple can be good but when it comes to modern society everything needs to be flashy and fun i don't want my web pages to be overly flashy but i would like them to be a bit more interesting holding a balance between flashy and informative.

If you hold a balance between them both you are a good designer if you over flash your page everyone might not be able to see it and if it is to simple others might not be interested.

The second week.

In the second week I was able to understand HTML better. I was unable to understand how some tags worked but now with the help of others I understand. The repetition of how to obtain a certain outcome helps me understand the material better.

What I learned in week one.

I didn't expect to understand much of what I was told during the first days of class, but I managed. The HTML code isn't as horrible as I thought. Once you understand the code it becomes more manageable things that gave me trouble were understanding how links worked and how to make images a certain size. By the end of the week itself I understood how to create a link and the many different ways to do so.

Understanding that in graphics you need to drag people in with what you create it needs to be appealing, simple and overall a representation of your talent and ability.
