What I learned from the project: I learned many things including the importance in keeping close contact with the members of the team.

Also, provided some original photography for site. Team and client meetings (in person and email). Acted as programmer: selected ISP, programmed use of Google software for search and calendar functions, implemented Flash and Quicktime videos on site.
What I learned from the project: Had a wonderful team for this project and felt so lucky because of that. Wonderful client. I learned that is important to include the client's IT person from the beginning to determine environment variables, and to review Flash and/or video requirements in greater detail.
Rachel Thurow: rachelthurow@comcast.net, 707-433-3270
Employment Objective: Right now I am employed as a Junior Systems Administrator for O'Reilly Media, Inc. I really enjoy the work.
Skills: I have experience with HTML, CSS, Linux, Unix, and Perl. I was a Junior Web Producer for about 6 months. I can work with both Macs and PCs. I have the ability to think on my feet and multi-task. I always like to learn on the job, I feel I can gain many valuable tools from my co-workers that have been there longer.

I took the code from the layout designer and built the website using the template. I was also involved with the project manager, to ensure everything went smoothly.
What I learned from the project: Communication is KEY! Sometimes people will say one thing, but mean another. Having proper email skills is another technique that is important in today's business world. It is better to have a short email with proper punctuation and complete sentences, than a long email with a lot of fragments and sentences all in caps!
Susanne Deiss-Costanzo: sdcprojects@aol.com, 707-479-4512
Employment Objective: Self-employed web graphic designer specializing in communication design. My focus will be on organizational identity design and website development for non-profit organizations.

Project Role: As Project Manager, I produced the website development project website, scheduled client and team meetings and workflow, compiled the website development proposal and bid, tested the finished site with typical users, and coordinated the delivery of the website to our client, including a client manual and electronic files.
What I learned from the project: The positive experience of this project reinforced my desire to work mainly with non-profit organizations. The development of the client website was much more work intensive than I had imagined (with most of the work done by our designer and content developer!), and what kept us motivated, I think, was the certainty that we were working to increase the visibility of and access to an organization that provides such valuable services in our society.

Whitney Snelling: whitney.snelling@gmail.com, 707-478-3756
Employment Objective: Id like to be involved with the development of websites, or take a role with graphic design.
Skills: I'm proficient in Adobe Photoshop, and have a good handle on HTML and CSS. I feel I'm a good team player and am very flexible and open minded.
Courses: Adobe Photoshop 1,2 and 3. HTML 1 and 2. Telecommunications 1. Illustrator 1. And Digital Photography.
Project Role: In this project, I took on the role of Project Manager. I kept communication going throughout my team. I made sure deadlines were met and assignments were done correctly and completely.
What I learned from the project: I learned a lot about this project. For instance, how to get along with a group you are assigned to work with. How to get along and work with a client. To accommodate and compromise on issues and topics with teammates and a client. And most of all, a good idea of how this "market" is run. The steps in which you take to produce a website with a client.
Dax Talbert: daxter@att.net, 707-849-4097
Employment Objective: I really enjoy creating websites and having a little fun customizing them, but as for employment in this field, I would rather go a different direction. It is more of a hobby that I have found out. At the end of this class I realized I didn't want to be sitting so long at a computer doing web design, but as a hobby when I can work on it here and there without a deadline, I would love to work on it.
Skills: This is a broad subject, I have skills in reading HTML, I can understand anything in html, when it gets into javascript and programming, I have no idea what is going on. So those are some classes that I will have to follow up. I love flash websites, but it is a completely different ball game then just html. I need to learn programming and much more. I am really good in photoshop. I love to create my own graphics and things. I don't have a clue how to create a web page though and import it into Illustrator though. So more learning there.
Courses: I have taken many courses. I received my Associates Degree last spring, and I was going for some certificates, but I will be starting Expressions the digital arts college in Emmeryville this coming Spring in 2008. ANTHRO 1 ART 7A ART 51.2 ASTRON 3 ASTRON 12 CI 51 CIS 58.51A CIS 58.51B CIS 73.31 COUN 61 COUN 370 ELEC 88.81 ENGL 1A ENGL 100 HIST 17.2 INTDIS 2 MATH 27 MATH 155 PHIL 3 PHYED 31.1 PHYED 80.1 POLS 1 POLS 1 PSYCH 1A PSYCH 3 SPAN 1 SPCH 60 WRKEX 97 WRKEX 97
Project Role: I was in charge of inputting all the content within the template the designer (Joy) did. I also did many changes that needed to be done as the client went through the final webpages correcting things here and there. I helped out wherever I was needed, and so far all is well. :)
What I learned from the project: Well I learned how specific we as designers, content developers, project leaders, need things. There is so much information we need to start on a site and we constantly need to be in communication no matter what. I learned how we all need to get along with team leaders and clients. If that doesn't work from the beginning, then we won't get anywhere. I would say the final thing is these sort of projects take lots of time. :)

Brendan Scoggin: brendantscoggin@yahoo.com, 617-872-8888
Employment Objective: I would like to work in web film production down the line, my undergraduate work was in performance and production and some of the major film studios are starting exclusively online released films and I think that would be really fun to do.

I also am about to get my certificate in photo shop, and illustrator so I can create more elaborate web graphics. I also have skills in photography.

Courses: Business web development photo shop 1, 2, 3 html 1,2 web graphics 1, 2 illustrator 1, 2 Digital Photography 1
Project Role: I was the content developer for this site.
What I learned from the project: I learned that in order to create a truly amazing site you must take the time to be diligent in following up with your client to make sure they are giving you the appropriate information, as well as giving their input along the way so that they can be sure they are getting what they want. Also I think the best rule is keep it simple, you can always add more later. The more complicated you start out trying to be the harder it will be to just get started.

Project Role: Project Manager and Programmer
What I learned from the project: Communicate. You can't communicate too much. You can send too many email but that's not communication. Think win-win, I learned that it's better to be proactive than reactive, develop and agree on the vision of the site. I also learned how to better visualize, prioritize, synergize with my team members and client. I even learned more CSS, PHP, and JavaScript so, I guess I almost got all seven habits of highly effective people covered during this course...
