I just finished taking a continuing ed class at Mass Art. I took a crack at web design and found it both incredibly satisfying and frustrating! Learning CSS is wild.. a new language for me that Glen (boyfriend), has been speaking since he was a teenager and I am fresh off the boat looking for directions to the bathroom. My teacher at Mass Art was very good at breaking down the basics and answering questions like, "How do you make the div thingy stay put in each page?".
The thing I felt was most challenging was that I couldn't take a paint brush and cover up an area that didn't work properly. I kept slapping things into my Dreamweaver page with the thought that I'd fix it later. The thing is, dealing with little problems later usually meant fixing bugs that I forgot I put there in the first place. I became obssesed with details and design elements that had me dreaming about code! I still have some tweaking to do on my site but for now I'm pleased with how it turned out. Tell me what you think.. the critiques in my class were so useful.
I'm not sure if this will be an added media to my growing list but I will be making another website soon (Fiddlehead Arts) and I am excited to do so.
