Blog Post #4

• I searched for free CSS templates and found one to download. I was constantly deleting most of the HTML codes because it was irrelevant to my website I was making. I was constantly saving and refreshing my browser to check my work on TextWrangler. Without going back and forth it was difficult to keep track on if i was deleting or changing the right stuff. I googled codes for color on fonts and backgrounds.  
• My ideal vision was way ore colorful and had more interactions with the pictures. But I decided to take a different turn this time around on mine and make it easier to read and stay in tact with. If I knew everything there was to know about codes my pictures would be doing some cool stuff, it would be more alive than dull and a site that would catch the viewers attention more so than just looking like a blog. 
• I used Linguistic mode to communicate information through text about myself, my and my family. I mostly used paragraphs to do so. Visually I used different colors a certain layout and the sizes of certain images or text to show different meaning in the website. Spatially I had a certain organization where at the top of the page there are three different internal links. I did so to make it easier for the viewer of the site to navigate their way through in a simple way. Verbally and gesturally I did not have any of those modes to impact my site. I hope these choices have a lasting effect on the audience knowing that it was not a hard site to find anything and they were able to go through it smoothly.
• I assumed my audience could be anyone so I tried to make my website friendly to anyone who visited. I wrote my text in matters that they showed Purpose and were relevant to making a website about myself. I was trying to use codes that changed the alignment of my words and pictures so they corresponded with each other. as well as making the organization of the two work together so that they formed contrast between two different object or sets of words in my website. I showed emphasis on certain words such as external or internal links were a different color than the rest of the writing on the pages. Proximity is shown in the different elements of the designs. With certain spacings to show the emphasis on the proximity. I hope utilizing all of these design tools makes it correspond to the viewers eye or whomever the intended audience is and makes navigating through the page finding what they need to find or reading what they need to read much easier.
