Objective
- To apply my XHTML, CSS, and design experience in a web-related field.
Qualifications
XHTML
I started working with HTML back when I was 12-years-old. That was back when Geocities
was the best thing on earth. I've branched out from there (thank goodness), and learned
to write valid XHTML that works with all popular browsers.
CSS
Soon after I began learning XHTML, I delved right into CSS, picking up what I could
from tutorials and walk-throughs. I am a firm believer in CSS layouts (meaning the
design is seperate from the content) which will help you if you ever decide to redesign
your site.
Graphic Design
Actually, I began editing in Paint Shop Pro. However, I soon found that
limiting and moved to Adobe Photoshop. In high school, I took a graphic design
course and also learned the basics of Quark. While on the high school newspaper staff,
I got the chance to work with InDesign.
