WEB DESIGN
Last week we started web design, I had done some web design before but only on Frontpage and only very basic with no HTML or CSS. I think it will be a real challenge to produce a piece of design just using code! I am so used to seeing and placing images, graphics and text into position and swapping and changing based on aesthetics, that I think it will be strange doing it this way.
I am looking forward to learning how to intergrate all the other Adobe softwares we have been learning into web design such as illustrator graphics and photoshop image manipulations. So that all these softwares can be utilised together to enhancea piece of design.
this week I have had a practice with web design and also looked at the ZENGARDEN website to get some ideas about the type of creative design you could use, which has been very useful.
I have also been thinking about layout for the 4 web pages we have to do for the assignment, and been thinking about graphics I could use for each section, such as a film roll for the photography page together with shutter appertures and viewfinders which I have produced in ILLUSTRATOR and Photoshop. Clapper boards, studio lights and shutter apperture graphics for the Video page which I have again produced using Illustrator and Photoshop to create. I still find it hard to imagine that using CSS code you can create the design that can be so precise.
