The student aims to redesign an image drop down menu for a Twitter site using various technologies. Specifically, they want to create a drop down menu when mousing over display pictures that shows recent tweets and an option to view more. Clicking a tweet will open it in a new menu with options like viewing conversations. The student is using Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS, jQuery, Photoshop, and a sketchbook to develop the site and learn skills like using jQuery with HTML/CSS and a graphics tablet. They still need to refine the code, centralize the main page, add a background, finish the buttons, and tidy up the layout.
