This is a first

I've never had a class require me to keep a blog. Pretty neat idea. And I'm so thankful MySpace and Facebook were discouraged. I must be the only person I know who absolutely hates MySpace. Everything about it frustrates me.

Online Design. I'm looking forward to this class. I still feel like I haven't found an area of visual communication I want to specialize in, and I'm hoping this Web stuff will really grab me. Right now, I don't know enough about it to know whether I'll truly enjoy it yet, but I'm thinking I will. I got my first glimpse of Web work this summer by creating a daily Recipe of the Day newsletter for a newspaper using basic HTML coding, and after that, programming sounds a bit interesting. I'm really psyched about getting experience with Dreamweaver and Flash because I know nothing about them. The course as a whole defintely sounds more diverse in projects than what I've heard of it from previous semesters. Web sites, cell phones, motion, interactivity. It'll be a good mix.
