REFLECTION


Web Replication 
The most difficult thing I had to do for this exercise was locate comparable fonts and graphics. I took my time with this, especially changing the leading and font sizes. I no longer had to measure by eye thanks to the grids and instructions, which were incredibly helpful. Although I don't think this exercise was very tough, it did take some time and patience.


Recipe Card 
Exercise 2 seems like it could help me apply what I've learnt in class. It felt more difficult to do the HTML and CSS exercises on my own than it did in class when we merely followed Mr. Shamsul, since I kept thinking back to them throughout the process. Dreamweaver is incredibly useful as it may provide possibilities based on a single keyword search.
