Intro Questions
Samantha's Introduction Questions
- My name is Samantha Brotman. I am a junior studying Marketing with a second major in Communication Design (technically, I am still in the process of switching to Olin for my primary major, though!).
- I am from Philadelphia. I was prompted to take this class because technology is the future of the world and I want to be prepared!
- I have absolutely no experience with HTML/CSS/JS or any type of coding.
- In this class, I really want to learn basic HTML coding and how to design for the web.
- I expect that desiging for a screen is different than desiging on paper becuase there are more options on the web, such as changing colors or animated objects.
- New York Times I chose the New York Times as a website that exemplifies effective design because of its use of the grid, hierarchic scale shifts, and integration of images.
- Amazon I chose Amazon as a website that I think communicates effectively. The site is set up clearly, has a clear navigation system, and is categorized well.
- Netflix I chose Netflix as a website that works well overall because it maintains seperate users within one account, has the ability to offer suggestions to viewers, and is easy to navigate.
