A Reflection on Dreamweaver

This week, we spent four whole days on Adobe Dreamweaver. It kind of surprised me, since this is Graphic Design, but good changes are welcome changes. 

We were given six videos to watch (in order) and absorb as best we could, tasked with creating our very own website. First I downloaded the necessary zip files containing the home HTML, and the CSS file. The first couple of videos showed me how to set up my margins, personal photo, and install the download templates. After that it was smooth sailing with copying and pasting some blogposts, and creating some links to secondary pages, one containing my finished projects.

As I said before, this took about four days of work, and I worked diligently for all of those. Mostly. I guess I did spend 20 minutes messing around on Photo Booth and Photoshop, but who can really blame me? Everyone, of course.

I did not encounter any difficulties besides the Photo Booth one, since I am very good at following directions. It's the main reason I'm not failing in any of my classes.

Along my journey of web-discovery, I saw that coding doesn't look as hard I thought it was, and I might try to learn it in the future. But first I have to learn how to type like a respectable individual. using only my index and middle fingers to type isn't as fast as I wish it  was.

The web design process is in fact a lot simpler than I though it would be( Though I'm sure that's just because of Dreamweaver), and I quite enjoyed my time creating my very own website.

Too bad I haven't finished it.
