OMG it's Finished

Wow. What an intense, wonderful experience. I can't believe how much I learned this semester. I can't wait to see what it feels like once the information has settled into my body. I am really surprised by how much I enjoyed the graphic design part of the course. I'm inspired to take some more classes in that direction to further my skills. I am almost really happy with the way my final project turned out. The class was very supportive today when they insisted that I was being to hard on myself. I will admit that isn't the first time anyone has said that. It's not that I'm beating myself up saying I should have done better, it's just that I can see where things could be better, and where my skill set needs improvement.
I also learned that I really like the more artistic area's of production, and part of me wishes I had chosen to do a narrative. I look forward to the time where I can explore the narrative more. 
It was really nice to see everyone's work today. I was really impressed by all of the work that everyone did, and the varied styles and content. 
All in all this was a fabulous experience, and my favorite class so far at Brooklyn College.

making a website

I don't know what it is about making a website that gets me so excited! I have never been so pleased with myself. When ever I click the "put" button and then check the interweb and see my design live I freak out! 
So far I understand almost half of what I'm doing. It's sinking in the more I try, but the process is slow. I still don't really know what's going on over in the html box. Thank goodness that I don't really need to know to make.
I need to figure out a couple of simple things. The blank black page being one of them. So simple yet, I so don't remember.
