Chelsea's Intro Questions

1. Hi I'm Chelsea, a Communication Design and Human Computer Interactions minor junior.
2. I am really interested in UX/UI design and I believe that taking a class that will solidify the fundamentals of interaction design and web devlopment will be extremely beneficial to my knowledg.
3. I have taken multiple HCI courses, such as Visual Principles for the Screen as well as Web Devlopment, that required me to use HTML and CSS to create design projects, specifically website designs.
4. I hope to learn how to use JS more efficiently as well as be able to quickly write in HTML and CSS for diverse projects.
5. I expect designing for a screen to be different than designing on paper because of how I need to take into consideration the specific parts of the backend coding and systems to make sure the design is successfully executed.
6. https://teaatshiloh.com/ I believe Tea at Shiloh exemplifies great design in terms of website design, because of how the flow in which the user is able to interact with it resembles the entrance to the physical tea room.
7. https://aritzia.com I believe that Aritzia's website design communicates everything clearly, through their simplistic layout, clean typography, as well as how they are able to distinguish seasonal and new items effectively and fashionably.
8. https://pinterest.com I believe that Pinterest's website works well because of how intuitive the interface is as well as how limited the actions are. The user is mainly constrained to pinning images to self-made boards, and the other interactions are additive to the preliminary pinning.
