The Medium is the Medium (Thoughts a Little late with this).

Marshall Mcluhan understood the transfer from oral communication to print communication. From my understanding he believed that there will be a balance where all of our senses would be unified and understood in different ways. I believe he began to talk about the internet as we know it today. The idea that any consumer can become a creator to potentially appeal to others around the world doing animations, Vlogs, and many more kinds of great content to match the style of the medium. People who create content on the WWW are subconsciously writing language to the new medium and is why new innovations are important and have to continue to happen.  The technology that transfers the message, changes us and the society we live in.

    this sounds great! it sounds like you really know what you're talking about and i totally agree with how you worded everything. people who create content on the world wide web do write language and it's becoming more and more important as time goes on.

Bootstrap Studio seems to have a lot of potential. It's user interface is simplistic and removes the need for hard coding. The software makes website design a swift process without the hassle. However, the demo is very limiting in terms of assets and restricting in design. I found it difficult to fulfill my idea and had to resort to using the templates.

A Case Study (?) of a JavaScript Problem

By -
This week at work, I ran into a very basic problem that needed to be solved with JavaScript. It involved lots of trial and error, but after 3 hours or so, I finally solved it. I wrote an article on my personal blog detailing my thought processes and research trail, in case anyone is interested:  http://emilyserven.net/2016/09/30/js-problem.html (I also included a bunch of footnotes, so if any jargon is confusing, it should hopefully be explained in those.)

UI Animations Medium Post

v https://uxplanet.org/3-key-uses-for-animation-in-mobile-ui-design-4d7c482dd84b#.3p0xvb9y      So over the past few weeks I've been doing a lot of reading on animations and uses for animation on web.  To me being able to make a website or app feel like it's alive is a great feeling. It adds so much to the interactivity. By simply adding small animations the page suddenly feels alive. It can also make the user experience better overall.      An example is the use of animated loading screens or progress indicators. Using a creative progress indicator reduces the user perception of time. Animations can also make the sit or app seem better than it really is.  Another really useful time to use animations is when drawing the users attention. A good example of this is in notifications.  By animating the notification you can draw the users attention more easily. Overall animations should be used in most websites and can add a lot of value to the user and the creator.
