GRC 275 Learning and Discussion Forum

Hi everyone,

I am on my 2nd to last semester of the GRC Program. I plan on graduating Spring 2017. I am the oldest of 4 siblings. A single mother to a beautiful 9 year old girl who is in 4th grade. When I finish this class I want to be able to put what I learned to use with the websites I currently design.

I would like to learn how to use images better.

Welcome to GRC 275, Amy. I think you'll find this class will really help you build out your web design skill as well as polish the skills you already possess. As long as you work hard, you'll be amazed at what you are capable of.

Now, the ironic thing is that I'm going to teach you to use less images this semester since web design is using more and more CSS based effects in place of images. These days, images are mostly used for illustrative purposes (i.e. a picture of something) rather than used for effects (drop shadows, glows, gradients, etc.).

Have fun with the class, work hard, and you'll have a grad time of it.
