The WebPage

Okay so I've been playing with the idea of having my own web page for awhile. But I wanted to be able to use my own ideas and create my own page from scratch. I went so far as to take Graphic Design classes while I was completing a Fine Arts associates, which I completed last fall semester. Well my interest in art and technology came together perfectly in graphic design and I ended up loving it, so I'm now on the last legs of that associates as well.

Yah call me crazy, while doing all this I worked on campus, still do (I'm a fixture now), raised my teen's and tried to keep some type of order at home.
Keep in mind I am an artist and not known to be the most organized person on the planet, so yah life has been a bit crazy. Oh and add in the mix my artwork and a local small art group I helped get off the ground, yup crazy. Okay I got a little side tracked from my web page goals.

I was able to develop some pretty good ideas in my graphic design classes that have give me a basis for my final web page. Of course even when it is complete and live nothing stays static and it too will be changed, updated and new ideas will come to me, but its been fun to go threw this journey. I have learned so much and want to share what I have learned with others. I have so many creative ideas flowing threw my head I cant possibly create them all in this lifetime but I can sure give it a good go.

Oh yah the web page. I've been working on that diligently for the past month editing and revising a page I designed in class. Of course like painting you need to know when its done and when to put down the brush. It is so easy to keep making changes so that has been a challenge. It is allot different than designing for someone else, this is so much more personal and I feel as though I'm creating a work of art. Like a work of art some will like it and enjoy it and others will not but I wont know till it goes live so I am determined to finish my web page and publish it with in the next month. October is a good month, my birthday is in October and so is my daughters, and my anniversary. So October it is. Keep reading my blog and I will keep you updated. See you on line.
