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.
