Really bad web design

Dodge these design habits/stupid ideas.

So at the moment our websites are really bad. I mean really bad. But compared to these we honestly look like web design veterans that created the internet. 

STOP USING IMAGES FOR SIDE BAR BUTTONS

WHY. Like seriously WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS. It looks awful. I have seen next to NONE that use images to an advantage with the side bar buttons.

Color scheme, or ya know, just don't have one. That works to.

Just make a color scheme. Like don't have every color as a color scheme because thats not actually a color scheme. Fine I'll just give you one. Blue Orange and white. Go have fun.

Sound on websites....

I hope water falls on your keyboard.

Make images look nice.

Like ok if your going to add images at LEAST make it seem like they fit.

Other Ideas:

buttons...EVERYWHERE
not aligning anything
having a front page that has a link to the actual front page
white text on yellow background
autoplaying anything


Why do people do this?

Well to put it simple, they are to self centered. The designers of these websites are too scared to look objectively at there work so they cant improve themselves. Another problem is that these people lack simple understanding of design fundamentals such as color schemes and alignment. Sites such as these have been completely abandoned do to the introduction of sites such as wix and other automatic formats available.

First 3d animation

3D Animation

So for our first animation project we went back to the good old ice cream models. The animation was incredibly simple but it just got us a little more comfortable with the animation workspace in Maya. This project was probably the easiest that we will ever be given in this class and I say that with the utmost certainty.

So All we had to do for this project was create a "lazy Susan" and make it rotate the ice cream models. And surprisingly its as easy as it sounds. All we had to do for this project is create a couple of groups and rotate those groups. I did it within like 30 minutes, fastest e-Comm project ever. There was nothing really complex but again, this was just an intro to the topic so we really didn't have many complicated tasks to complete.
