What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I think the teacher has good intentions and is really trying his best to pick up the student's spirits, but it's not going to work through one website post. It has been drilled into my mind that I need to do amazing things while I'm in high school. Yes, I understand that the main event of coming to school is to learn and become educated about certain topics, but all of that is overshadowed by making sure you have extracurricular activities and a well-managed social life.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.

On Saturday night, I babysat my next-door neighbors from 6:00 to 9:00. I didn't have much of a dinner before that considering that I woke up at noon and everything. But when I was finished babysitting, I was really hungry and we don't go to the store until Sunday. I called all of my friends with a car and asked if they would drive us to eat if I paid. But everyone was busy at Prom or going to bed already. The last friend I called, Kennedy, had already gotten ready for bed, but she came over anyways and drove us to McDonald's. I kept telling her how grateful I was for her and she just kept laughing. We went to CVS Pharmacy because she needed new facial moisturizer. So it wasn't really an eventful, but it was so much fun for me.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement. Elaborate on why you agree of disagree.

If images are on the internet they should be "free game".


I think it depends on the circumstances. If a photographer uploaded a picture of their latest photo shoot and I copied the pictures and put them on my website, all while not claiming that I took these pictures myself, it would be fine. As long as you're giving credit to the person who owns this image, I think all pictures on the internet are free game.

Reflect on your resume website.

I wish I could have spent more time exploring the ranges of Photoshop. The program was new to me so I didn't want to go straight into everything at once. Now that I've eased into things I feel more comfortable with trying new effects. I wish I could have changed my color scheme up because I realize now that it resembles my Fanclub website. I'm going to try to make the main color of my website not purple next time. I really would have liked to know to change the color and font on my Google information fill-out sheet.

What's the coolest thing you've learned in Web Design so far? Why is it so cool and how can it help you in the future?

I liked learning how to use Photoshop properly. I didn't know where to begin and it was fulfilling to be able to bevel and emboss my text. It gives the words depth and a more 3D look.

Define 'User Experience'. What does it mean and how does it relate to web design? Explain yourself.

User Experience, also known as UX, involves a person's reactions and emotions felt about using a certain product, company or service. It includes how user-friendly a website is for a visitor. User Experience is normally used when someone is talking about using a computer for the first time and how it felt for them. Web design can be related to User Experience by seeing how people react to your website the first time they visit it.

What is a resume website? What do people put on resume websites? Spend about 5-10 minutes looking up resume websites and what they are used for. Explain what you find. Include an image of a resume website if possible.

A resume website displays the certain skill level or knowledge a person pertains in a subject. It can showcase about their career, accomplishments in their field and where they acquired their intelligence like a university or college. Some resume websites may include the person's social media profiles so a client can get a better feel for them before they hire them. Depending what field they specialize in, they may have some examples of what they can do or like to do when they are working on a project. For example, an interior designer may show her latest designs corresponding with the latest trends in home furniture.
