Web Design Class

Here is the latest project for my current class, web design. The assignment was to create a fictitious restaurant with a menu or cuisine of my choice. I had to make the six tabs for the menu bar and the name of the restaurant. I chose a textured background and my instructor said it looked old and out of style. I searched in Google for Mexican restaurant and the first three I selected all had textured backgrounds....but I'm not saying he's wrong, he is the instructor. I still made an A for the project.

During the five weeks for this course, the web site will evolve from the bare bones of what you see here to a fully working site. You can watch my progress at the following web location: http://www.jaxonworks.com/. After this class session, the web site will be a vehicle to showcase my own art, photography and writing.

I am working on a project now, a group of short stories all featuring one main character (a man with a wife and one or two kids ... I haven't decided yet). Anyway, this fella gets into all sort of funny situation...some family members may recognize the situations but I promise all names will be changed in order to protect myself!

Until next time.

That is a very good idea, changing the name I mean. Can't wait to read the stories, hopefully I haven't lived them. LOL
