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

Every year I go to my grandfather's house to chow down on some 5 star dishes!  Also afterwards I might head out to black Friday. At my grandfather's we ride four wheelers and cruise around on the 10 acre land. A lot of history goes into that place, where he grew up and where my parents grew up. But besides Thanksgiving and black Friday, I'll just be hanging out with friends and enjoying my time off. Probably get fat or something.

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

A website resume has key sayings in their website saying what they've accomplished in their work life and such. Like for an example, from the image below, Hank Finke has his "Key Achievements" that he has done throughout his work life. He also has people saying great things about him on his home page! Also he includes in the navigation bar: Overview, Key Achievements, Skills,  and Professional Experience.

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

With web design, you can create what it looks like, but most of the work goes into how the website works. I mean we're constantly coding things to pop out or create some animation when you put your mouse over it. That takes a lot of skill to accomplish that and it turns out looking great. But the art is how it works, how you coded a page just to make that one thing tic. That's the actually beauty in that, not the looks or the feels, the inside is an art. Like for an example, a well-functioning website is really neat to look at, but let me tell you, it probably took a couple months.

User Experience-the overall experience of a person using a product such as a website or computer application, especially in terms of how easy or pleasing it is to use.

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.

When I first walked into this class and started learning about the different code, it felt like I was learning a new language at first. All the "<>" and such really had me interested, but very confused. And I really didn't even know anything about HTML, because, I was looking forward to learning about CSS. At the time I didn't know that you had to know HTML before trying to attempt CSS. I've learned how to code a pretty neat website, all thanks to this awesome class. And the knowledge I've learned will help me solve any issues with websites in the future.

Tell me about your weekend.

This weekend was Halloween weekend! I spent most of my Halloween at school sitting at the edge of my seat bored out of my mind, until school finally ended. I had to scavenge some costume pieces out of  my  basement. It turned out pretty good: I was an old Asian pimp guy. I then went to my friends party, it was pretty fun, except the part where my friend accidentally beamed a hard piece of candy at the back of my head. Then the rest of the weekend I spent at home watching movies and sports games.

Tell me about your weekend. Share pics!

Just a normal weekend, nothing too special. On Friday I just chilled at home, tired from the long, exhausting week. On Saturday I worked at my grandfather's farm and made 100 bucks! Pretty good job for a 14 year old if you ask me. My family created Sunday into "family day" so we went to the pumpkin patch and stuff. My dad and I watched the Chiefs game, and man, was that close! We won 23-20!! GO CHIEFS!

What kind of background do you have with Photoshop? Have you used it before? What other types of design and editing software have you used before? Explain.

During middle school, our computer teacher taught us a lot about Photoshop. But, of course, I probably forgot all of it by now, I mean, that was in 7th grade. I have used it before, and I've found it pretty awesome to mess around with. I have also used Sony Vegas; which is very confusing to use. But after getting used to it, you get the hang of it. We used Sony Vegas to create movies, then we presented it to the class.
