Assessment

Last class, we had an assessment. This assessment has been the most helpful thing so far in the class because up to this point I was just following along with the directions. By having to create linking pages by myself, I was much better able to learn how to link. Photoshop has been a good tool in creating a page, and then bringing that onto Dreamweaver in order to design the website. Photoshop is like the art part of the class, and Dreamweaver is the design. Now that I am able to link pages between each other much more easily, I am more confident with making a website, which I have no idea how to do coming into this class.

So one my websites that I commonly look at is Ultimate guitar tabs(http://www.ultimate-guitar.com). I think this website is relevant because there is no art involved with this website, and it is strictly a design site. This website is also relevant because it is part of one of my many identities. Playing guitar is part of my identity that I created during high school and college. I realized that I wanted a more well-rounded identity that involved multiple skills.

Coming into college everyone changes their identity somewhat, and this was one of my attempts at a change. This identity I do not usually show to my parents, or adults, but it is more part of the identity with my friends and girls. Guitar changes my identity because when I play, nothing else matters, and it also makes you the center of attention at the time. This identity can make you more noticed, and also the center of the party. People sing along with you and just have a good time, and that is what my college identity is all about; having fun and exploring.
This was just a cool animation that I found of a moving guitar. It looks simple enough that it could be something that I can recreate.
