ed to make a wireframe of the sketch I chose. They looked similar.

Coding
DESCRIPTION
Code a custom webpage with HTML and CSS.
PROGRAMS
TextWrangler
OBJECTIVE
Learn the basics of coding and how to use TextWrangler
PROCESS
1. I changed the CSS on my webpage, as well as the heading sizes, color and
alignment. I played around with the sizing of paragraphs to make the best
balance, and changed the typeface and color of the font.
2. I added my logo and changed the properties on it, so that it would float
nicely in the box., and then added the background of grass to give texture
and more color to my page. Since I am using a monochromatic color scheme,
I decided texture would be a nice addition.
3. I tweaked sizing and made sure everything looked good before I turned in
my draft to be critiqued.
4. After critiques, I went back to change typeface, alignment, color and added
a backdrop. I also changed the size of the logo.

Prezi
October 6, 2016
DESCRIPTION
Design an informative Prezi presentation to show the features of the program
PROGRAMS
Prezi
OBJECTIVE
Learn how to use Prezi while creating an informational presentation
PROCESS
1. I read the instructions to the project and watched the tutorial videos on
creating a Prezi.
2. Next I brainstormed what information I would like to present on, and
sketched an idea of how I wanted my presentation to look.
3. I then opened up InDesign to create my own background graphic. I saved
my image and uploaded it to a blank Prezi.
4. From that point I made each of my frames and pathway. After I found all
my pictures that would go on the slides, I placed every picture with its appro-
priate “tip” on the frame.
5. I viewed my Prezi multiple times to ensure that each frame appeared as I
wanted it to.
