Introductory Questions - Jeff Su

1. Jeff Su, Junior, Major in Computer Science
2. I'm a student studying computer science and human-computer interaction with experience in ux design. I'm taking this class to brush up on my web design skills from the browser.
3. Yes. I have taken other CS classes and coded my own portfolio in HTML/CSS/JS, although I will likely be switching it to React or something in the future.
4. I hope to learn more about more efficient ways to make my web pages more responsive.
5. Designing for screens means considering accessibility, whereas that is not always a consideration for a poster, for example.
6. This is a link to the Github landing page.This might not be viewable if you are signed in to Github, but it should appear if you open a private browsing tab. I think this website exemplifies effective design due to its effective CTAs, mesmerizing graphic of a globe with real time commits and pulls, and has beautiful previews of the GitHub product that flow with the page.
7. This is a link to the Waze landing page.Waze implements effective communication by containerizing all of their content into disinct colorful boxes. This is a departure from most landing pages that flow content purely top -> down. Not only is it visually interesting, but it's very easy to digest their main headlines and product functions because of the boxed design.
8. This is a link to the Stripe landing page.If "works well" means that its design choices are effective, simple, and "cool", then I definitely think that the Stripe landing page works well. It uses awesome gradients along with a very straightforward layout that effectively delivers the contents of their product. It's theme goes well with the enterprise/finance market with its nice sans-serif and "techy" blues. If "works well" means that it's fast and simple, I am not entirely sure if Stripe's website is as fast as possible due to all of its gradients and animations, but it runs relatively well on my devices.
