Employment Objective: To learn more about how to interact with clients, how to propose a job and bid a job, and to become more professional in web design.

Skills: The Web Skills that I have are HTML, Adobe Photohop, Image Ready, Illustrator, gif animator, some flash experience, dreamweaver, frontpage 2000, FTP and beginning java script experience.

Courses: The Web Courses that I have taken include Beginning and Advanced HTML, Beginning Adobe Photoshop, Applied Graphics 69, and Web Content Practium.

Project Role: My project role in this class was as content developer and marketer. I found this a great experience and learned alot about the ups and downs of web design, from client preference, loading, browsers and time restratints. This class was very influencial in how it showed to me the actual process of the business of web design, from step one to the final presentation and handoff of the website.

What I learned from the project: I leaned how to work as a group. How to communicate effectively with clients. How to view the process of web design from the client's side, designer's side, programmer's side, content developer side and marketer side. I also learned alot about differnt platforms in which users view the website and how nothing is stable out there on the web. The more enhancement you give to a site the more often than not you are going to have a group of people unable to view the site. This was a very valuable experience all over.
