ALSO take a look at and read:
http://alistapart.com/article/responsive-web-design/
and blog your reactions for this weekend's homework. I'll introduce the article in class but i wanted to post it here for everyone so everything is on the blog. Please
1.) Check the blog daily for a few moments, comment on others posts post link, music, pictures, code etc.
2.) Avoid "webspeak" LOLZCats ROFLMAO kind of terminologies etc..
3.) When reacting to a reading -react, give your ideas that come up, share honestly and be prepared to discuss and defend your ideas and be willing to modify those ideas, we are here to learn and we can do that with almost every notion of our design process.
4.) When reacting also avoid liking/disliking try to find what "works for you" "speaks to you" "informs your work" What is something you would like to investigate more, explore and incorporate into your work? I do not need a summary of the articles, or a book report, it's not that kind of homework. You are adults and designers and i want to know your thoughts so i learn more as well.
more soon
