I already struggle a bit with typography, so the fact there are even more rules for web type kinda sucks haha. I have to redesign some aspects of the type for by webfont page because the typefaces I chose aren’t on google fonts. Luckily there are tons to choose from, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find replacements that look similar. I had to redesign my spreads to be more consistent and I am glad I did. The screens will all flow together nicely now on a webpage.

I’m glad that we started on code academy as it makes things a little easier to understand, that being said I am not sure how well I am going to do without something coaching me all the way through it like code academy. I am hoping that a lot of these things become muscle memory but I’m not entirely sure that is going to be the case. Like everything else I know that this is going to take time to really get a handle on.

The first thing I noticed when scrolling through Huge Design’s portfolio is they are ver big on simplicity and beauty. It is very easy to see their no-nonsense approach is successful and their product design is very elegant. It is nice they include sketches so one is able to see how they got to their final product, and really see how it evolved through the sketching process. Another thing one might notice about their designs is they are very functional and it is easy to see that it is always one of their main intentions with their product designs. I have attached some of my more favorite projects they have done.
The word I signed up for is user experience, but you might see it referred to as UX. Prior to hunting down the exact definition I had a pretty decent idea on what the term meant, but it’s nice to know the actual definition. Since UX is my word, I wanted to mimic an experience I enjoy which is the experience when using a mac computer. Though my term isn’t User Interface; which would refer more to the systems software or operating system, I really enjoy my experience when using a Mac.
Hey, this is Jake.
Welp. Coming into this class I was pretty excited and ready to take on the task of coding, but I don’t think it is going to come as easily as I originally thought. WordPress is easy enough to figure out and navigate, but I’m pretty nervous about learning how to actually code a site. It is something I have wanted to learn for some time now, I’m just nervous I’m gonna suck at it.
