Over Break

I will be:

• Coding the html/css of the site, and planning the general page layouts.
• Try out a few jquery plug in's I want to use.
• Finalize tables in database (all are in, just need to make sure they are correct).
• Start redesigning projects for portfolio.

Do we need to keep a blog for portfolio prep?

Approaching the End

If I keep writing on this thing during break, would it count towards next quarter? That would be nice. This quarter was really insane. Never tell any student to take this many classes, let alone the internship. The bonus is the quarter flew by, but I know I didn't put as much into the classes as I want, and normally would do. You know me, I rarely half ass anything, and that's why I want to turn this process book in next Tuesday, to make sure everything is inside and it's fabulous!

Hopefully the click through is sufficient, I can add to it if needed.

layouts

Who would've thought laying out the homepage would take so long? I "think" I want it to look similar to the comp, but I may tweak a bit over the break (or beginning of next quarter). It's just how I want the images laid out and such, no drastic changes (I'm not crazy). I think I need to revisit some of my "competitors" and see how they lay things out. I clearly want to showcase some images on the homepage, but I need text too, and a search box. Which reminds me, I don't think I had a search box on the page in general... maybe I should find some space to squeeze one in? I also think I'm having an "add to cart" button, and I don't have a cart. Something else to think of... clearly I have more pages than I originally though! Lots of work this weekend :)

Click Through

Do people really do something other than powerpoint? I suppose you could still make a bunch of images then use the button coordinates to use html... still seems like more work than ppt!

I'm really happy with this design (aside from the register/login tags), I think the site will look awesome when it's live! Hopefully the code doesn't give me too much trouble, I'd like to keep from turning gray this early in life!

Top Tags

Trying to figure out a good image/location/setup for the register and login tags. The current spot will be the location, I'm just not sure what image/graphic to use. I guess as long as I have a placeholder for the comps it'll be fine for now. I will look over break for the perfect image!

Design Comps

I'm realizing now how much is actually going onto these pages. It's really good, don't get me wrong, I'd rather figure it out now, I just didn't realize exactly how much I had going on these pages. It's insane!

That said I might not use the same exact images in my comps, but I know an image will go there.

To login, or not to login, that is the question

More so to have a separate page to login or to use a slideout div.... I suppose having a separate page I can collect more info from the user, but the div then can be on every page. Hmmm.....

Separate page it is, after doing a little browsing.
