Passion
Today was a day to just explore what I wanted to about being a Web Designer. I had no assignments or projects, just a free day. The first thing I did, of course, was check my facebook. But then I realized what I could be doing with my free 3 hours of class, so I started to think about what my passion for web design was. Then I came to the conclusion the first thing that I would do is find something different to put on my homepage, while learning a few things along the way.
So I looked around for pictures and internet tutorials for some kind of picture that would look nice on my page, and I found one. This “Twitterbird” was different and obvious enough to be put on my homepage and make it stand out a little, while still being easy to tell what it does. I found this in a tutorial for Adobe Illustrator in my Google Reader subscriptions. As soon as I saw it I knew I needed to make one, so I did. After I made completed this tutorial, which took quite a chunk of time, I spent a few minutes adding it to the correct place in my page. Afterwords I looked for other unique things to add to my homepage, and expand my Graphic Design knowledge, but I found none. So for my free day I completed one tutorial and learned a ton of tricks for Illustrator, which I will surly use again.
