Project Role: I was the Programmer and one of the Content Developers. The programming was a challenge because the client was indecisive.

What I learned from the project: I learned what objectives and "landmarks" to use to create and run a medium sized project. I liked having the opportunity to see the reasoning behind the designs of other people's web pages. It was a great chance to work on a large website with a team of other people and a client. Since there's no money involved, no one gets hurt.

What I learned from the project: I learned what it was like to work with a client and team that I didn't know beforehand. I found out how a project progresses and what types of problems can crop up, and how to deal with them. I also learned that how to balance my eagerness to design with the client's actual needs.

Employment Objective: To find work as a web designer and content developer.

Skills: I know HTML. and Photoshop, and Illustrator, and Quark. I have studied graphic design as well as web design. Ihave been a professional photographer for the past 20 years.

Courses: Web Content. Web Graphics. Photoshop. Illustrator. Pagemaker. Quark. Screen Design. Art. Computer based Graphics.

Project Role: I was the content developer. I took 3 of the Ecosteward Journals and transformed them from Pagemaker documents to HTML and web pages. I included the photos as duotones and put them on the web pages.These journals, each containing about 8 pages, were indexed and linked to the main site as well as to other articles in the Journal. I was also the Marketer, and I did the research with the class, the client, typical users, and the equipment tests.

What I learned from the project: I learned that a contract is very necessary, and a understanding of what was expected by the client, and an understanding of what the client needed to supply to us, is imperative. I learned to work in a group, with actual jobs defined. This is a skill that should be used in many jobs. Our group worked very well together, but we all tried hard to make it work.
