Week 13 Of Web

Week 13 of web has been going steady and my projects and class work have been going great I was able to stay ahead this semester more then last because this course was by far way less overwhelming due to the fact that we were always working in dream weaver and writing and reading code. I like the fact that this last web class was more low key and straight forward I understood how the navigation works with wordpress and I am very comfortable with working in wordpress in the future.

Week 12 Of Web

Week 12 of web has been going good so far. I now see where finding templates on wordpress can be challenging and endless in search when trying to find the perfect theme for the website created. Learning how to navigate through wordpress was also challenging at times, it was all unfamiliar when it comes to tweaking special shadows and headlines in the edit or headlines menu on the tool bar. I hope to learn more about wordpress navigation and different tips and breaks. I am starting to enjoy working in wordpress.

Week 11 Of Web -SOA

Week 11 of web has been great this week we learned a lot about SOA. The info on SOA was very helpful to me. Is SOA we learned different types of search engines and how to get good rankings when it comes to maintaining a website. We learned different ways to work with google. yahoo and bing what are some popular internet search sites. Are 2nd week project was to make a wordpress site about SOA. At first I thought it would be very boring and repative but I learned a lot from reading different types of blog post and articles on the Internet about the value of SOA. I very pleased on how this week of classes are going I'm actually ahead for the first time in weeks and it feels GREAT! :)

Week 10 Of Web

Going into Web 3 week 1 has been great! We FINALLY are working with WordPress and I couldn't be more happier then I am now with how web is going. The first two months of web was all code and css sheets it wasnt pretty thats for sure. With wordpress we can finally cut out all that extra time for coding and using CSS sheets. With wordpress its all right there for us. We also are learning how databases work and run through making a website and linking it with other websites. I learned a lot with databases and advertisement on sites how to set up advertisement with google and other search engines. I am very excited about are last web project for building are own websites this is something I needed to start doing for myself as a designer for a long time. Feels good knowing that it will be up and running in just a few weeks. 

Week 9 Of Web

Week 9 of web has been has been so far the worst for me. first of I hate group projects nothing ever works out and everyone is always scrambling to get things finished last minute. I'm still not understanding the code and breaks of HTML making the process of creating a website takes forever and is very time consuming. All honesty I don't have the time or patience for web. Lord give me strength to get me through the next 4 weeks.

Week 8 Of Web

week 8 of web has been decent. I honestly really dislike web. I get it sometimes as far as the assignments and what the projects are on. I'm still very confused with CSS and the style sheet mark up and how to detect mistakes. I honestly at this point have zero patience and just want January to get here so I can be done with web FOREVER yes FOREVER !

Week 7 Of Web

Week 7 of web. Was a lot of information that we covered the last 3 weeks of web. We went over many things that we have already learned. We learned and went in depth about tables how to position and design tables in HTML. We learned how padding is very important when designing a website. Week 7 was a lot of small steps on how to make your page more visually pleasing to the eye. Everything from padding to white space and the proper positioning of your navigation and tool bars. It was a lot of dos and don'ts of the proper way to design in HTML and CSS.   

Week 6 Of Web

Week 6 of web has been a little on the overload side for me. I notice that lectures and class time more and more info being given to us. Now that we have learned the basics on how CSS and HTML work we are getting into more of how the website needs to look and navigate. We are getting into more tables and different types of navigations when designing a web site also the different types of styles of layout such as linar or horizontal style. Im hanging in there I hop the next 4 weeks I continue to learn and all the new information is understandable.

Week 5

Week 5 of web development has been going great. We are learning a lot of style codes and content for websites. We learned how to design tables and more about website dimensions. We are also learning how Photo shop is capitally with dream weaver and other adobe programs. We also learned more about liquid display on websites and how it works and how to control the browser width and dimensions. I now know how important wrappers are when creating websites.

Week 4 Of Web.

Week 4 of web, I cant believe I made it through my first web class! I thought this class would be more challenging and difficult to understand but, so far so good! This week we went over style sheets, what they mean what they do and why we need them when creating a website. I now know also how to navigate through dreamweaver. How to create new html and css pages and how to properly save files in folders that involve dreamweaver. Dreamweaver used to be very intimating but now that I know how to use it. Its saves me time as a designer and makes designing a website easier for a graphic/web designer user friendly. We also learned more css design codes this week, as far as making are website more appealing to the eye. Going into class two of web development I would like to understand the code a little better as far as the steps of doing things and why certain codes are needed to do certain things. The one on one help with my instructor has been very helpful as well. I get a lot of knowledge when navigating and helping me through all my issues that I come across. So far so good, One class closer to being done with web only Three more to go! BRING IT! 

Week 3 Of Web

Week 3 of web is definitely less stressful then the past two weeks of web. This week we have finally started working in dream weaver. I now also understand why we learned HTML and CSS in text edit to begin with. Dream weaver does a lot of the work for you as far as editing files and code it even gives you an option to work in design mode. But learning in text edit defiantly helps find errors and actually understanding the code itself. But one things if for sure I will not miss working in text edit! This week I am working on my first project assignment witch is creating a Copyright website about copy writing. Its a pretty boring topic but its something a graphic designer needs to know in the real world. I also cant complain on this assignment actually being two assignments in one. The copyright research information and then the website layout design being the other part of the project. So far everything is going well; I'm going to try my best to hang in there until December when web classes are finished. 

Week 2 Of Web

Second week of web is going ok. This week we learned about images and the quality a image should be for proper website development. We learned about JPEG and PNG quality on a website layout type. We learned how css styles the website as far as color, size and font style as well as layout format. I'm more then ready to start editing and creating in Dream Weaver. Working with text edit and safari is no fun going back and forth to each and every window every time I edit. I'm just glad I am understanding everything. The book we are using for this class is also a lot of help. I find myself going back to my highlighted pages and finding my answers and solutions that way. 

Week 1 Of Web.

My first week of web so far has been challenging. Its a hard transition to design in adobe programs for the last 8 months then switch to web language of text and create and design that way. This week we have learned the basics of web HTML and web CSS. I do get the format and style guide on the web works, but let me tell you its not pretty colors or images that we are creating in text edit, Its all code and text language . I'm a little confused on how converting CSS to HTML for style guides and sheets but I hope in do time it will all click and fall together.

Week 3 Of Applied Multimedia

Week 3 of Applied Multimedia was a little more challenging then the first two weeks. This week we put together are portfolio and gathered are design work. We also created an online portfolio that I still have to do many updates in. This week I also brainstormed on many different ideas with my creative portfolio and creative resume. I started on both and still brainstorming on different ideas and how I want everything to look. I'm still kind of bummed on how this class fell I wish it was closer to my graduate date just so I could have more design work and me more knowledgeable with web. But all and all everything is going great. Finally made it into the last week of applied mutimedia I'm excited to start showing off my work:)

Week two of Applied Multi Media

Week two of Applied Multi Media has been going good. Today I finished my two mock interviews with student services, I received full 30 points for both interviews and then was told that my résumé needed better spacing to fit all my info on one page. These next couple days I plan on doing some research on creatative resumes and how to get the style and look that fits me. I also purchased my portfolio today and I'm excited to start putting together my peices and layout of my portfolio. I think this class is extremely important; for its helping me brand my self as a designer and get organized on the look and style I want business and clients to view me as a designer . Just as important to my self as a designer to have an identity to my design work and start getting my name out there as a graphic designer. I have a lot of work that I'm proud of and I'm excited to finally be able to start showing it off. I can't believe I'm more the half way done with school I've learned a lot and I'm ready to take in as much knowledge as I can these next two weeks of applied multi media. 

Back To Business

After enjoying the summer vacation week off. It's back to the books! The summer semester went great, I learned a lot and still managed to juggle, school, work and and a social life for the summer so I have no complaints for the summer months. I just recently wrapped up a internship with Diamond View Studios in North Tampa DVS Tampa is a Video/Multi Media studio company. With DVS I learned more about Final Cut pro the process of video editing, Some after effects skills and also hands on skill with video shoots and commercials with multiple companies in Florida. I just recently applied for a motion graphics intern position with the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning Hockey team, I'm truly fortunate and blessed to have my teachers who informed me about this opportunity. And got the good news this past Monday, That I got the intern position! I'm extremely excited to start this Wednesday with the graphics team. This is a great opportunity for me to get introduced to the entertainment field of design as well as my DVS summer internship. For the entertainment industry is what I want to be involved in as a graphic designer; Weather it be sport franchises, Major fashion companies, Popular magazine companies or just a big fortune 500 company. I want to take it to that next level and I'm excited to see where the next 10 months with Keiser University takes me. 

Conquering Adobe Flash Week 4

This is the final week of multimedia 1 adobe flash animation and it has been an interesting and challenging journey. One of the most challenging things that I had to over come included timing. Creating a story with animation that looked realistic and well put together opend a whole new world as a graphic designer to me. A lot of editing and patience goes into animation and at times was over whelming knowing when to start and stop throughout the process. As a protectionist I found my self editing, editing and more editing. At the end of it all I'm glad to have conquered the basics to adobe flash and more then excited to get into more production and other programs that have more to do with video production such as dream weaver and more experience with photoshop This is just the beginning of my production/graphic career and I'm excited for what the future holds. I'll keep you posted

Week 3 Entry.

Ending in week 3 of multimedia 1. We have covered adobe Flash CS5 we have learned how to work and operate flash and all of witch the system is capable of doing. This next project we are working on is making a 30 sec flash function using at least 5 different Disney principles of animation. This will be challenging seeing we will actually have to design with the Disney principles in mind. Last project was to create a 20 sec commercial ad of a company of our choice. The turn out was great I was happy with my work:). This project is a little more challenging but I think once I start to create and draw out some ideas everything will flow together. As I learn more and more about the adobe programs I find me liking some of the systems more then others. Getting into production is HUGE for me because thats my passion, The more I learn the more I love it. Video and audio production has always been a passion of mine; This really was a perfect stepping stone course to get to know the basics. Im very excited for these next 4 weeks :) 

Learning Flash CS5 Week 1&2

Learning Flash CS5.

Week 1&2 projects 

The next 3 week's of this summer semester will involve learning adobe flash and how animation is created and used as a graphic designer.

Week 1 project: Was to create 3 6 second banner ads of a product of our choice. I chose NIKE for a ad because I knew the brand and use the brand. Targeting the audience would be challenging but creative seeing there is so many different types of advertising that NIKE repersents. I found Week ones project very educating and learned a lot about flash and sequencing in your animation and designs together to get a motion picture.  

Week 2 project: Was to create a 30 second long ad for a product of our choice. I chose Beats Head Phone's By Dr Dre. I chose this brand because I find all ads, commercials and advertising in general very catchy and creative. This is a product that represents something that has never been created or done before. His state of the art creation in music has changed listening to music as we know it. And Beats advertising always gets that massage across every chance they get in the advertising world.
