My Favorite Zen Garden Example

HoriZental by CLÉMENT ‘FASTCLEMMY’ HARDOUIN, France

Well, for the website I noticed its title was 'Zen Garden' so I wanted to get like a plant nursery like landscape or plants as the background. With a "asian" like style, because well, "zen" is an asian word meaning calm-like. 

And I found this one that seemed decent enough and even better! Instead of your usual scrolling up and down it goes from right to left!

Final

Top 3 favorite Indv. Project

• KJ's Final Project

I liked KJ's final project because while I was looking through it I noticed his work is pretty amazing! It has a nice detailed look and professional. -- Outlining it in black makes it "pop out!"

• Sydney's Final Project

Sydney's final project was also really nice. I get where she was coming from, just wanting to learn new techniques on her own then trying it out, and having the end results come out Great! I like how she caught the duck in motion.

• Nate's Final Project

This is Nate's I was really impressed with how he used Photoshop to lower the cars. To me just looking at the before and after, that there was a lot to have been done.

Taylor's blog stood out to me because it's not like any other blog...It has COLOR not all plain and dull.

• http://tylerthecreator.edublogs.org/

I like Jesse's blog! It's cool in a kind of creepy way, but still cool. As the background it's a blue face with green-ish eyes. It's all over the page -- so it's "always watching you.."

I really like Adarrah's blog she described everything she did in detail and the page looked really organized, as well.
