Introductory Questions
- I'm Jared, and I'm a junior studying Communication Design and Art History.
- I've taken some basic coding classes before, but now I'm more interested in relearning and being able to apply them to my specific craft as a designer and just building up my skillset.
- I took one basic coding class in high school, and otherwise I've used HTML/CSS site builders like Wordpress a lot for my work.
- I hope to learn how to go about visualizing a new website through coding itself, since I feel like it's been hard to connect the actual code with the visuals in my experience.
- One thing that I think will be very different is making sure a page can adapt to different screen sizes, as opposed to a single size for print media.
- I think the Zara website is very effective in its design, since it feels very simplistic to help make their wide range of products feel clean and easy to navigate.
- The AIGA Eye on Design website is really good at communicating the different section headings, and having clear thumbnails to illustrate what each article is about.
- I've always really enjoyed the Letterform Archive site since it has a really good sense of hierarchy, and the different categories of media, time period, and others are very clearly delineated and customizable.
