Foundational web design, planning and construction
with emphasis on web standards, usability and accessibility.
Students
construct web pages in (X)HTML and CSS using basic text-editing
software. Topics include analysis of
how and why a website succeeds or
fails, aesthetics and visual design for web, planning, creation,
uploading
and registration of sites, troubleshooting, search engine
optimization and basic marketing strategies.
The reason I am back in school is the love of art and how it can intermingle with
technology. After having worked
in manufacturing for more than twenty years, I have
decided to change directions to graphic design on the web.
I realize that a career change
is like swimming upstream against a strong current. Choosing Interactive Media is
the
cutting edge. Designing for the web is more fascinating than other graphic design pursuits.
My goal is an
Associates Degree in Interactive Media. To learn everything I can about this
fascinating field is another goal.
I'd like a challenging career and plan on bringing this
wish to fruition.
