MY GOALS IN TAKING THIS COURSE:
I am taking this course as an elective for my graphic design major.
I chose this class because I've always been interested in learning how
to design webpages. It is one of the fields in graphic design that I'm
most interested in. I hope to learn and understand everything I can
about setting up a webpage.
I have never really learned anything about HTML before, but I like what
I've learned so far in class. Though sometimes it seems overwhelming,
I'm trying my best to just take my time and not stress out about it.
I've learned with past graphic design classes that stressing out just
makes things worse. I hope that this class will help direct me towards
choosing what field of graphic design to go for for my career.
