Reflections on Computer Skills for future students

New Students--
First of all, you are lucky to have a very helpful and kind teacher for this class; I recommend attending class, reading the class notes, using the online tutorials, putting forth an honest effort, and being creative. 

Websites Galore....

I really enjoyed viewing my classmates' websites this past week! It was interesting to see the many different ways the project was carried out, and my favorite three sites were all very different from each other.
The first site that caught my attention was Marlies'. I thought she did a really good job of keeping her design clean and simple so that her content was showcased.  She had great thumbnails of Europe, and I really liked her page with recipes on it. 
Abigail's site was also fantastic. I appreciated the fact that she chose to do a site on one of her passions.  Not only were her personal photos beautiful, but she used other artists' work to illustrate different concepts used in photography, like proportion, composition, and color saturation.
Finally, I loved Joy's work with photoshop. Her image maps were really creative and you could tell by the Anime style that she incorporated many of her personal interests. It was a truly interesting site!
