What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.

On Thanksgiving, we gather with our closest friends in the area and have huge feast. Everyone brings a lot of dishes that are either Indian or American. This year my family is making the turkey so we are going to bake a gigantic turkey with stuffing and cranberry sauce. It's my job to make the cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mashed potatoes while my mother and father make the turkey and Indian food to go along with it. My brother isn't that into cooking but he helps out by cutting vegetables from time to time. We also have another huge feast on Saturday but this is with a lot of people instead of our close friends and its a pot-luck so everyone contributes something small and we create a large feast for everyone to partake in. This year I hope to making a Thanksgiving dessert too!

Go out and look up a what all goes on a resume website. What can you find? Include an example image if possible.

When I was looking up resume websites, most of them seemed to be simple. It didn't look cluttered or messy but just really neat. They have a simple color scheme and are well put together. Most of them don't have pages and pages of information but short paragraphs highlighting the most important aspects of their life. The fonts are all professional and so are the images used on the website. Most resumes websites also seem to include an image of the person who the resume is about along with their personal information and ways to contact said person.

Consider the quote below. What exactly do you think it means and how does it relate to Web Design?

The quote is talking about how Web Design isn't just about how cool the finished product is, but instead its learning all the steps to getting there. Just knowing all the minute details and being able to perfect the web page into something you would be proud of. Anyone can use a template and paste pictures and type words on said template but its a whole different process to actually use code and style the website the same way you pictured it in your head. A design is a working product that runs smoothly. Some websites may look pretty on the outside, but the links may not work. That would still be considered a "design" but a true design would be able to incorporate working parts into the finished product of the website that also looks nice. For example, Google is really simplistic and looks neat and organized on the outside, but Google also almost never messes up. It gives you fast results without distracting colors flying all over your page. 

User Experience- The overall experience an individual person has while visiting a website or web page.

Reflect on your learning this semester so far in this class. Think about the first day you walked in to this room until right now. What have you learned about Web Design? What have you learned beyond Web Design? Explain yourself.

I learned a lot about Web Design. I not only learned the basics of HTML and CSS but some more advanced stuff too! I also learned about lots of things that are overlooked like Color Theory and Copyright Laws. I think Color Theory and learning about Copyright laws are very important because they can be good to know in multiple situations. Being in Web Design has helped me develop my coding skills and now I am able to code web pages and web sites without the hassle of looking stuff up all the time. Not only have I learned coding itself, but I have also been able to experience multiple coding softwares and I have been able to identify which one I prefer the most.

Tell me about your weekend. Give me details and photos!

My weekend was overall pretty good. On Saturday, I spent most of my morning, shopping for one of my friends' birthday present. Well online shopping of course. I was heavily debating buying a felt avocado but decided against it and instead looked at the Troye Sivan sweatshirts. I still have yet to purchase it, but its the thought that counts! Her birthday party was later that day but I was unable to attend due to the fact that one of my parents close friends also had a birthday party that day and he was turning 60. People that I knew back when I lived in Tennessee were there and it was awkward because they all started hugging me and I had no idea who they were. I just smiled and nodded at everything they said. Sunday, was overall tiring. I woke up at 6 in the morning to go play violin at the church service. I was there until 12 o'clock. After that, I watched the Patriots game and finished my homework.
