Week 03 - Boxes and Scales

So this week consisted of scalable navigation and the CSS Box Model.

I found the navigation quite fun to put together. I was viewing one of my classmates site last quarter and noticed he had a list as navigation rather than relying on rollover images. I never got around to figuring it out till I read it in the Bulletproof Web Design book. All in all, I think this is a WAY better way to do navigation.

Oh Box Model...I get it in my head... but when it came to actually TRYING to write it out to explain... well I confused myself. Its two way with me: Its either too much, or too little explanation. Finding a happy medium is quite difficult (try too hard to sound like I know what I am doing?). I think that goes back to the discussion we had in Interaction Design for Entertainment; Trying to teach someone with our terminology outright is not the best way.
I tried to keep it simple as possible, as if I was trying to explain it to my "I could care less about computers" sister.

Anywho, it was a nice refresher, I only got a quick run down with the model way back when, so know what everything does for certain is good for me.
