sweet SUCCESS!!!

revised ideas and CONTENT!!!

   Since my last post I have been working with my client Chris and making revisions to the layout presented before. After a discussion on user optimization, it was decided that his website should show a similar navigation bar on the left side rather than including a back button to return to the navigation links. Last weeks class discussion with Phil on proper image saving techniques was extremely useful because my clients site will be utilizing custom type (designed by Chris in Matts' awesome summer class) on the links, that will need to be placed as an image. Our next step is to categorize content. After a day of sweet success, I managed to code the pages and link them together, and further place the navigation system, header, and body. I have a feeling adding the content will be more difficult than this last challenge but I'm enthusiastic now that I see it is possible.

A more relevant post...

   Hello, I am Jenessa, and we will call the last post useless. In this post, I would like to set forth the purpose of creating this blog, by explaining a class project and its objectives.  As a current Senior, in the Graphic Design program at USF, we were assigned the objective of creating a website that would act as a portfolio site for another student in our Design for the Internet course. This blog will serve as a resource as well as provide a funny look back (once this class is done and we are all awesome web designers!).

   For my first purposeful post, I would like to share the homepage I have been working on for my "client" Chris. My goal is to create a site that is both in the style of the designer and one that showcases his work. I am utilizing a black background with contrasting white text while using a rainbow pattern of dots to act as a header and navigation device. While the home page will feature the full color spectrum, a focus on an individual color will highlight where the user is within the site. 

   I look forward to the feedback. Until next time... Jenessa

First blog. ever...

This is my first official blog as well as blog posting. Currently I am bedazzling denim with Chris (who's playing Halo)(awesomeness) and pondering our websites to come (also Matt's assignment)(assignments). Hopefully the blog will become a great resource for swapping resources on our awesome soon to be websites.
Until next time... Jenessa...
