Hey all!
The post for this week is in relation to the project we're currently working on. It's a site with examples of some portfolio sites from other people, just to see what others have done and to build on it. Hope it's helpful

This week I’ve got a site that should hopefully be helpful on our final portfolio project. If you’re searching for creative ways to show images of your work in a gallery or otherwise, this could be an instructive site. Some of the examples use flash but there are others that don’t, which we could use.
Hope you find this helpful

After the frustration of project three, I’m happy to share this week…Don’t Fear the Internet: Basic HTML and CSS for Non-Web Designers! It’s a compilation of videos made by Jessica Hische (designer/type-extraordinaire) and Russ Maschmeyer for designers who need to know html but just aren’t web designers. Sound familiar? Anyhoo, here’s the link. Hope you enjoy:
For this week I picked a site that has multiple examples of web design trends of 2001/2012. I think it’s worth a look for inspiration and ideas about what works and works well in the real world. Plus it’s always good to keep up to date with the latest design trends.
This week, the link is to a youtube video entitled What is JavaScript? It’s a little slow, but it’s helpful in that it points out what features on some common sites, like Yahoo, are enabled using javascript. The only thing I think he fails to mention is like we learned in class, some people may inadvertently turn off their javascript, so that’s something to watch out for. All in all, good for getting a basic grasp on what javascript does on the most basic level.
So, following project two, I was still having issues with padding and margins. And, as we’re moving on from css, I thought a better understanding of it would be beneficial to me and possibly all of you. I found this site that has an image that shows how margins and padding take up the web page. Also, it has various ways code for margins can be written, since we know there isn’t just one way to do one thing when it comes to css.
