Introductory Questions

by Maddy Angstreich for Interaction Foundations, Fall 2018

My name is Maddy Angstreich and I'm a junior studying Communication Design.

I'm interested in front end web development because it has the unique potential to combine layout, motion, and interaction. I also love creating a tangible solution to a problem.

I took a Computer Science web development class last year, and have since then been watching free tutorials and teaching myself HTML & Javascript with Superhi.

I hope I can learn funky hover and scroll Javascript animations.

I expect that flexible widths and screen sizes will make layout a new challenge.

The Design Thinkers Conference homepage has really beautiful and engaging scroll animation that focuses solely on great type and motion.

The Good Fortune Restaurant in St. Louis has a site that communicates very well because the scrollover effects on the text and appearing images clearly illuminate the viewer's choices.

The Beyond This Point podcast hosted by Civlization has beautiful scroll animation, and accessible and beautiful color and typographic choices.
