Welcome

My name is David Schwittek and I am an artist, designer, and filmmaker.  I occasionally design websites, and I will be helping each of you design your own website this semester.

WEB BASICS

First we'll review some basic principles and explore the basic structure of a website.

NOTABLE WEBSITES

I've selected just a few portfolio websites that I really like (though one of them isn't technically a portfolio). I have collected these to provide some examples, but feel free discover your own portolio websites!
