newbie gitters

Alignment, consistency, repetition and contrast, all flowing from the capstone of simplicity. It sounds easy enough. My concern is making it all happen in Dreamweaver. My lack of comfort with that program is astonishing.

I like simplicity. Thinking back, most of the projects from last semester - Doctor Doggy, the Apprentice and others - feel cluttered or complicated. When you first look at them, it’s like a puzzle your eyes have to decode before you can start interpreting the content. I’d prefer something that’s expressive even at a glance. For rank amateurs like myself, simplicity will always trump sophistication.

Now, if we can just figure out how to create a text that looks like it’s written in yarn.
