I aced the first test.

Web Design is vapor. I know it’s there, I just can’t grasp it. I accrue a little condensation, enough for a multiple choice quiz. The big picture continues elude me. What is the goal of this class anyway?

The textbook shows screenshots of the author’s layout, but no mention of what application layouts are done in. Page Maker is mentioned, but the inference is that he wouldn’t use that program in a pink fit. “Wireframes” are mentioned. I just had 3D CAD last semester. Wireframe implies three dimensions to me. Maybe he means “Grid”. Grids are two-dimensional. Yeah, I think he must mean grid.

Are we learning to design pages that we have to send to a code writer? Is code coming down the road? What applications are layouts and web design created in, anyway? Enquiring minds want to know.
