The first section of Jennifer Niederst Robbins’s book, Learning
Web Design, is comprised of three chapters giving a general overview of what
goes into designing a website. In chapter one, Robbins describes web design as
having four subcategories: design, development, content strategy, and multimedia.
Then she introduced us to some web-related technologies that are used while
creating websites, such as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style
Sheets (CCS), and JavaScript. The second chapter describes how the web works, dissects
URLs, and shows how an HTML markup creates a webpage. The final chapter of the
section discusses how the web has been expanding and evolving. For example, the
internet in 2007 was solely on computers and now web designers need to take
phones and tablets into consideration when working on websites.
What are your web design goals?
My biggest goal is being able to design my own class
website. A site parents can visit to get a sneak peak of what their child is
learning and the doing at school. If a student is unable to make it to school,
they can visit the site and know what they missed that day.
Which aspect of web design interests you the most?
Web design is completely new to me, but as of right now the
graphic design aspect interests me the most. I enjoy painting and being crafty,
so the artistic element of graphic design is intriguing. However, I’m looking
forward to learning and familiarizing myself with each aspect of web design.
