This video does a pretty good job in 4 minutes of explaining HTML & CSS & Javascript

The organization that develops the standards for HTML is the World Wide Web Consortium and they have a beginning tutorial on their site.

But really, we can definitely do some checking on our own within the browsers we have in class and within WordPress itself to understand a bit more about HTML.

Lab

• Create your ePorfolio and being uploading our assignments to date: your bio, your visual quote project and your logo history research report.

• Review the List of Hall of Fame Designers at the Art Directors Club and the ADC Winners of the Young Guns, AIGA Medalists Gallery, The Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame and International Photography Hall of Fame. You should go to the list that best suits your interests and then pick an individual for you to research for your Design Research Paper discussed earlier today and which we will discuss in more depth next week.
