Studio Session: CSS Positioning and Design

Today's studio session will focus on CSS for positioning and layout of elements on a page.

Visual Design: Studio Exercise

Using what you know about web design and color, redesign an IT faculty member's main web page.

If you use me, you can use the photo on my main web page, or this one.

If you use another faculty member, use the photo from the main web page.

CSS Positioning: Studio Exercise

Using the recipe example I showed in class, create your own page with CSS positioning and formatting. You can change as much or as little of the original as you'd like, but make sure that you've got a good sense of how the positioning properties work.

When you're done, upload the file to your rit.edu web space on Grace, and add a weblog entry that points to it and describes what you changed and anything important you'd like to remember about how you created the page. If you don't already have a category for in-class exercises, make sure you add one to your weblog, and assign it to this entry.
