Hi

1. My name is Krissy Gatuslao. I am a junior in Communication Design with a minor in AMCS.
2. I come from an artsy background where I attended a high school for the arts. But in college, I came to really enjoy design. Along with this class being a requirement for Communication Design, I was hoping to expand my portfolio and learn a new skill.
3. I don't have any experience in HTML/CSS/JS, but I did take CSE 131 in freshman year. I'm not sure if I remember much from it though.
4. I hope to learn basic HTML/CSS/JS as well as establish a good foundation in interaction design.
5. Responsiveness really distinguishes screen from paper. You have to make sure that your content is viewable and consistent for different screen sizes.
6. I think that the MailChimp website exemplifies effective design because it combines unique typefaces, illustrations, and a warm color pallete to create a welcoming and personable experience for the user.
7. The Converse website has effective communication. It features appealing photography along with a clean cut font. The website is predictable, making it efficient in getting its point across.
8. Instagram's website works well. It's organized with each section (i.e. stories, posts, suggestions) having its own place. The website isn't cluttered. There's room to breath.
