Color can convey a lot of emotion when it comes to designing anything from a product to a website to an advertisement to a logo and so much more. What do you think the importance of colors on a website are? What is a color scheme and why is it important to have when designing? Explain any thoughts you might have around color in design.

I think that the importance of colors on a website is to show a person that your website is not boring. Color dazzles your website and makes people more aware of the information of your website. If there was no color, people would get bored on your website and not be interested in the information that you want them to know. A color scheme is a pattern of colors that a programmer can add to his website. This is important because with a pattern scheme your website looks more presentable to readers and you don't have random colors distracting the reader from the information your presenting. My only thoughts on color design is it adds a lot of spunk to a website and makes sure that your reader is just looking at a black and white article because it's no fun!

Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work (especially Web Design!)?  I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?

This is a very interesting quote because it talks about how more a person has to work with less focus. It says this because it implies that if you have more focus you will get work done easier. What this quote means to me is that if I focus more in class I will not have to work as hard to complete worksheets and projects for the class I am in because I would already have experience for what is needed to get done. This applies to my school work by saying that if I focus more I can get better grades in my classes. If we got less work in class I think this would hurt us because I believe people would use this class as "homework time" instead of focusing on what they need to get done. This although would work for me because I know that I would get the class work done first and the homework done second.

Tell me all about your weekend! I sure hope you have photos to share.


My weekend was new because I got to go skiing with my boy scout troop for the first time up at Snow Creek. On Friday, we arrived at Snow Creek, we set up camp by building tents and making hot chocolate. The next morning, I went through a skiing lesson that taught me how to ski and earned my snow sports merit badge. I skied on some high slopes with my friend Amit and got to ride on a lift for my first time. It was amazing! When I got home I showered and got to rest up from the tiresome ski trip. On Sunday, I watched some TV and played some video games on my Xbox 360 and Ipad. Later, I read a couple chapters of "To Kill a Mockingbird" for my homework and went to bed for school the next day.

What's the coolest thing you've learned in this class so far this year? Now that you have a little knowledge, what do you want to learn that you don't know how to do yet?

This class has been very interesting because it has taught me to code with CSS and HTML and has let me applied it by creating websites about me and my interesting life. The coolest thing I have learned in this class is that I could change the layout of my website. I can make my website look exactly what I want it to look like with nice font and pretty colors. In the future, what I want to learn is how to use Python in Code Academy. I think it would be cool to be able to learn Python coding because I can do more things with my coding skills!

Tell me all about your Sweetheart weekend (even if you sat at home on the couch!). Include photos!

My Sweetheart weekend was great because I got to hang out with a bunch of my Jewish friends and go to Comedy City. Friday night was awesome because I got to go to someones house and eat a Jewish dinner with a lot of my Jewish friends. We played games like chess and got to eat delicious desserts like cookies. I spent the night at that house with my friend Amit and we hung out with Andy, our friend from New York. The next day, I went to the BSA merit badge forum at the Church of the Resurrection and got training for planning an eagle project. The, I helped out with a mock trial case and was the defense attorney. My client was found guilty and I left with disappointment that I couldn't win that course case. Later that day, I was reunited with my Jewish friends and we went to ComedyCity and saw a lot of funny skits. On Sunday, I stayed home and did a bunch of my homework. I was pleased to see that the Patriots won the Superbowl!This was my Sweetheart fun filled weekend.

What is a website wireframe? Explain. If you don't know what it is, look it up. Find an image online to place on your blog that represents a website wireframe and how they work

A website wireframe is a visual guide that represents the skeleton of a website. We use wireframes because  it helps us to arrange elements to best accomplish a particular purpose. For example, if I was to make a website the wireframe would help me to accomplish what I want the website to be about. It would be the backbone of the websites structure and it shows the page layout of a website's information. I can also use a website wireframe to focus on what the computer screen of the website looks like.

Finish this sentence "10 years from now I will be...."

10 years from now I will be finishing my college masters degree for computer programming from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I will have bought a house in Boston and will be living there working for a company like Google. I will be paid plenty of money and will have a boat that I can ride on the Boston shore lines. I will have plenty of friends to hang with and we would have a spot at a bar we will meet at every weekend to talk about life. The last thing that would be nice is that I am married to a beautiful girl who likes computer programming as well.
