Introductory Questions

  1. My name is Brett Davis. I have majors in Finance and Economics & Strategy and a minor in Human-Computer Interaction. I am currently a senior.
  2. Though I don't have much coding background, it is something I am interested in. This class looked interesting and fulfills a requirement for my minor, so I decided to take it.
  3. I do not have any experience with HTML/CSS/JS.
  4. I hope to learn how to create interesting looking websites in this class.
  5. I expect it to be a slower, more thought out, methodical process to design for the screen than for paper.
  6. Aquiline: This is the website of a private equity firm the firm I interned at had worked with. I think the website has a lot of interesting details, such as the dynamic location at the bottom, that shows attention to detail was present when creating it.
  7. RCA Records: This is a website of a record company, and I think it effectively communicates by putting the artists and their works front and center throughout.
  8. Apple: The Apple website works well. It is simple to navigate, has a clean design, and a user can very easily and quickly find what he or she is looking for.
