Time to use JavaScript and a few little design principles...
Now that we've been coding in JavaScript and building Web pages, it's time to create your own (website). Choose a multi-column layout and build a page of your own design. Then, utilize several JavaScripts on your pages. A jQuery slideshow is required in a precontent section.
Make your page dynamic. You're no longer just a Web Designer, but a Web Developer. That's awesome (I just gave birth to you).
Also, we want to start thinking about design principles, so we need to learn a little about it. Remember to use color theory in selecting your Web page colors, and think about your typography (fonts). I suggest you use your fonts in images, not CSS just yet.
