Blog 3: Gotta love it!

I've been perusing my fellow classmates blogs and found some really great ideas.  I love being able to see other people's resources, it makes your life easier than having to search through tons of sites, only to find that the services aren't free or it's just not what you were looking for.  Here are some of my favorites:

https://eedonaldsonblog.wordpress.com/  - Need HTML colors or want to create your own? Erin has recommended a great product in Adobe Color CC which allows you to create your own palettes that are available across all your CC applications.  Will need to check this out eventually.

https://blogbydonlambert.wordpress.com/ - This is another great site. In the past I have searched for sample sites that would provide me with inspiration for class and other work projects.  Don provided a link to a website that puts it all in one place. Love it!


It's still (kinda) early in the semester and unfortunately a number of the sites from my classmates went to broken links.  But if you've found a great site by other classmates really helpful or a visual treat, comment below and I'll go check it out!!

Blog Post 2 - Resources!!

I used to work as an Instructional Designer creating web-based courses and content so I have a number of good resources for graphics and stock photos.

Free Sounds - These sites provide you with an array of sounds for free that you can use, download and modify. They have all sorts of effects!!

Art Galleries - These sites provide you with free media assets and photos that you can use in your work.  A lot of them are royalty free!!!

I also really like this resource though I'm not sure we'll be able to use it in class.  It provides you with an easy way to create videos and other animated content!
