The previous two days have been wonderful. Today got off to a great start with a session on typography by Darren and a critique of work by our participants. As I type this, Darren is knocking them dead with a presentation on web design. He showed us a collection of truly rancid web pages. My favorite so far: This one.
We finished yesterday with a hands-on session in which our folks tried their hand at sketching out ideas for a page we ran last week in Sporting News Today using fun facts and demographics on NFL players.
Daniel Hunt of the Wilmington News Journal
explains his NFL page concept. It didn’t suck at all.
