This website is quick practice in learning how to use HTML and CSS! Sorry if it's a bit simple - I'm still learning how to get the hang of using all the features!
I'm Adrienne, and I'm a senior at NC State majoring in English with a concentration in language, writing, and rhetoric. I'm making this website for one of the classes I'm taking this semester (my final semester here! I know, so scary!). Why am I tasked with making a website for one of my classes, you ask? It's because I'm interested in going into technical communication and looking at the intersection between technical communication and digital media. I also think coding is such an important skill that I should learn. Luckily, this class lets me look into all that!
Interested in looking at some of my portfolio pieces? The link contains some past technical communication work I have completed as well as some papers I have written in academic setings! I created this website as an assignment in a past class I took last semester, ENG 350, where I completed an internship and completed fun tasks like fix up my resume, cover letter, create a portfolio, and take the StrengthsFinder test! Let me go into a little detail on each of the pieces...
Below are some of my portfolio pieces that fall under the "Technical Communications" category. They are sorted according to the type of software that was used to create them:

Wait... are you into celebrity gossip too?! For the same class, I made a website where I conducted a website analysis of Hollywood Life, known for reporting the latest celebrity and entertainment news as well as celebrity fashion and beauty trends. Please check it out- I worked really hard on it!
Just a minor note:I couldn't figure out how to use all the headings if I didn't categorize all my types of writing by program... In a normal webpage I wouldn't, but just for this assignment!
