Progress on RWD / portfolio redesign
I’m trying my hand at Responsive Web Design. It’s a really different way of thinking. I have to think: “How is this this going to look on different devices.” I started out doing desktop down but that confused me. So I turned it around and tried mobile first. That was easier for my brain to […]
Whaaaat?
Here’s what gave me a massive headache yesterday and today: “I really want to do a responsive web design.” “I have to figure out fluid grids.” “So, how do I do fluid images?” Media queries…hmmm. HTML5 — “I don’t even need most of this for my website and this is making me sleepy.” CSS3 — […]
New project — updating portfolio
I’ve started to work on updating my portfolio. I don’t have any new illustration pieces but there are things I want to do with a few of the existing ones. Mainly, I want to add some design/typographic elements — that were in the original/final image but I’ve since realized that they suck (Thanks Intro to […]
Project 6 — almost there done
Project 6 is finished and uploaded to the Valencia Web Studio. My latest work-in-progress. I added the drop down for the about pages and added the contact page. It’s almost finished but I have no idea why it’s scrolling horizontally. And I’m stumped on how to figure it out. progress so far started coding — […]
Project 6 — starting fresh
I went back a few steps and redid the CSS so that it’s more organized. Instead of jumping back and forth between sections, I worked from the top down. Then I just swapped out the main content for each page. Getting my workflow organized makes everything go much smoother. And I’m not as confused about […]
Project 6 — coding
I started coding for project 6. I feel like I have a really haphazard process of coding. It starts out simple when I’m just putting the content into the HTML file. But once I start working on the CSS I go back and forth between div’s. I’m not very good at organizing my CSS. So, […]
Project 5 — everything else
Here’s my process book for this project. This is also the project I’ll code for project 6. I still have to comp the contact page. Or that might not be necessary since it’s just replacing content. Wireframes Comps
Project 5 — logo
My first idea was to have multiple animals within the logo. However, I know that’s been done — silhouettes of animals standing on top of each other (smallest on top) and animals inside each other as negative space. I should find them and post them later. My next idea was different animal tracks but that […]
Project 4 — everything…
I haven’t posted anything since we were assigned project 4 and it’s due tomorrow. So here’s everything in one fell swoop. (Except wireframes because I don’t have a scanner and the photos I took were horrendous. I’ll scan them at school tomorrow morning.) Comps are uploaded to Valencia web studio. sitemap logo color & type […]
3/19 & 3/26/13 — Week ten & eleven
I had to miss class last week and this week there is no class. Still working on the Craigslist redesign. From what I gather we have to take the user through buying and selling something; and the Orlando main page. A lot of my time has been taken up trying to figure out ActionScript. I […]
