New art
I drew a thing. I needed to take a break from working on my site. This follows the same idea as some of my older work. The last one, unfinished, was actually transferred to wood and the key block carved before I graduated SCAD and didn’t get a chance to print it. I’m not entirely […]
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
4/9/13 — Week thirteen
We finished up the in-class exercise (taking a comp from PSD to HTML/CSS). A lot of the stuff we went over was familiar to me so my notes were really sparse. But we talked about styling links and what order they have to be coded: a:link (all links) a:visited a:hover a:active project 6 4 pages […]
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 […]
