Winter Break

Yeah! winter break is quickly upon us.  What to do, what to do?  I suppose I will spend it with my three children.  We are all out of school and we are all very excited and ready for the much welcomed break.  I am very satisfied and looking forward to this break before Spring classes begin.  (blah)…No really it’s not that horrible.  My kids are ready to go to the movies, eat popcorn, play video games, sip hot cocoa, and hopefully(if its warm) go sledding.  We are thinking up things to do with our time.  Guess what!?  No homework!  Yes!

The final project

I felt that the final project was a great way to really see what you have learned and how well you can manage both Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I really like the way I can manipulate photos or make my own designs in Fireworks. It really let’s you use your imagination and just let it go if you want to. I can do all sorts of shapes and text designs that I can make my web pages much more eye-catching. That is a great application. Dreamweaver is also packed full of fun ways you can layout the page and I really like the CSS style sheets. I am still practicing and exploring to see what I can come up with. I thought that the final project was fun and it let me venture out and see what I might be able to do and work on too.

Fireworks-Good, Bad, Ugly

Since I have been playing around with Adobe Fireworks, it’s been very eye-opening.  I have found that I can alter and play around with an image and just make the changes that I like.  So I like Fireworks so far.  There is so much you can do and since we all have different likes and many different things pull our attention, this is a great application to work with.  As I am creating my web pages, I am able to use my graphics in a new way.

I was getting a bit overwhelmed with so many, many, choices.  I quickly got over it-either I use ever single option or just stick with a few basic tools.  Either way it is what you make of it, right?!
