Tanner’s Reflection on AIGA redesign

I think I did alright on this project, it was hard to find a balance between designing a website that catered to the audience of AIGA, while at the same time being new to web design and the problems it presents.  I caught myself getting way to in to the aesthetics of the site over the function.  I spent most of my time on this project struggling to fit content into my page, while containers, headers, and large images came easy.  The biggest challenge for me was creating the navigation of the site, which differs quite a bit from print, where the only navigation is just to turn the page.  I also realized decisions that seem small, such as choosing a primary color can effect a design greatly.  Overall I think in the future wire frames will play a much larger roll in the route i take in designing a website.
