COMD 4900 Internship, Fall 2020: Web Designing

Journal Entry #6

This week I got the task of storyboarding a website. Normally I storyboard for animations, but I figured why not it is a perfect opportunity to learn and improve my web design skills. I’m not the most proficient when it comes to aspects like coding, but I could at least figure out the look and layout. It turns out I was planning out websites much more differently than I should have, it was not just how specific pages looked but also how everything was connected. Much similar to how the book formatting project was I needed to learn how much different laying out a book or poster was then a website. While I’m still not as proficient in this area as I thought I’d be it was a pretty good experience to see things from a different perspective and rethink how I approach web design.
