Provide your name, major, year in school (sophomore, junior, etc). My name is Temi Ijisesan. I am a Senior and Communication Design Major
Tell us a bit about your background and what prompted you to take this class. I have experience coding with html, css, javascript, and java, and I wanted to take this class to solidify my skills and come out with a cool project! It's also required for my major, lol.
Do you have any experience with HTML/CSS/JS? If so, tell us a bit about it. Yes, I've coded websites in HTML, CSS, Javascript, and REACT. My first internship in college I made an animated website using REACT and svgs which was really cool. Here's the link.I've also taken a couple web development classes online through Codepath.
Name one thing you hope to learn in this class. I hope to learn how to use CSS rules more efficiently because I feel like I often brute force them.
Name one way you expect designing for screen to be different from designing for paper. I expect designing for screen to be more interactive and narrative in a different way than paper. On paper you flip a page to get to the next part, but you can't really do that on the screen.
Provide a link to a website you think exemplifies effective design. Explain your choice. I think that a really well designed website is Project Typeface Alphabet of the Ukrainian Identity website. I really enjoy the playful simplicity of the pages and the engaging layout.
Provide a link to a website you think exemplifies effective communication. Explain your choice. I'm going to highlight this studio's website I really like called funnyworks because I think the design, and animation style within the website really highlights the work they do in a really engaging way. So I think in this way they're doing a great job with communication! Funnyworks
Provide a link to a website you think works well. Explain your choice. A website that I think really well is Ellipsus's website.What stood out to me was how their website is very simple in what it is communicating, and logically flows linearly design wise. Having no idea what it was about, I was easily able to access the tools on the site and understand their mission.
