Learning+experiences

When you choose to put any form of writing on the net there is a specific process that needs to be followed in order for it to be published. With the html and the gimp project they were the most technical; both projects required a little extra time and effort. With Gimp there are so many different tools that can be utilized and learning the ins and outs of each tool took the most time.

When using Gimp or any photo editor you use to express a point of view you want to make sure you don’t over work the photo, which can cause distractions from the point you are creating. Even though you are manipulating a photograph, is that still considered digital writing? I believe so because any form of digital expression I feel can be classified as writing. I have this opinion because most of the time you will not be there when your audience reads or glances at your work so even that picture creates as much of a story than just writing it down.

Similarly the html project was a long process because you have to learn codes for everything; from centering your text, changing font, margins, padding and borders, and the list just continues to an endless supply of design elements. The process of starting and closing of your codes was easy to grasp but time consuming. Learning where to position the style content as well as the actual text content was a bit harder to comprehend.

Every lesson in this class has taught me something new. I feel each project, although I’m still not a hundred percent, has made me more knowledgeable about the internet and how to produce a well thought out piece that I won’t regret for putting on the internet.
