As said in my previous blog, I’m super interested in coding. It’s my major, it’s my future career, it’s something I find very interesting. However, I still like to express myself artistically (whether I’m good or not). I want to be able to spice it up a bit and make it, you know, less boring. The best way to do it all?

So, getting to the actual point of this (and relating it to class), this week has been pretty fun for me. I had a very hefty workload and was very stressed but being able to think of designs for my website brought me some relief. And a break from my coding lab which took me a combined total of about 25 hours.
Even with exercise 2 and just looking at the very many different test-style tutorials floating around the internet was very cool. There are so many things that we haven’t learned yet with effects and animations that I look forward to getting to know. The applications for mockups also really excited me. It’s what I picture part of my future projects in the real world to look like and that brings me excitement and eagerness. I’ve been using a combination of sketch apps and

I plan on trying multiple applications until I find one that I’m super comfortable with and can use with ease.
