Employment Objective: I am seeking web design and graphics work. I also teach people how to use computers to accomplish what they want to do, whether it is to create a web page, write a report, edit a movie, keep a data base, or learn Spanish. Power is creating it yourself, not simply receiving it.

Project Role: Project Role: I was the Project Manager, coordinating the team and its work with the client and her needs. I organized the reports, aligning the clients goals and objectives with the team product, encouraged the team, communicated the deadlines, and watched the details.
What I learned from the project: What I learned: It is a joy to work with other creative and conscientious people. I enjoy being in a supportive role, particularly when I am appreciated. It is worth figuring out, not only what the client's needs are, but the team members needs.
Rachel Minor: r_s_minor@hotmail.com, 707 829 3839
Employment Objective: I would like to start out in an internship position at a local web design company which will hopefully lead to a full time position.
Skills: I am proficient in Photoshop, Image Ready, Dreamweaver, FTP, Homesite, and HTML coding. I have a basic understanding of Illustrator, Painter, and Page Maker. I am constantly updating my skills in scanning and digital photography. I have excellent listening and client relation skills. I am comfortable on both the Mac and PC platforms, and I learn new programs quickly.
Courses: I have a Bachelor's degree in Studio Art. At the Santa Rosa Junior College, I have taken Beg/Intermediate Photoshop, Beg/Advanced HTML, Computer Graphics Concepts, Intro to Telecommunications, Beg/Advanced Web Graphics, Online Portfolio, and the Business of the Web.
Project Role: I was the Designer for the Center for the Creative Arts Therapies web site. Our client wanted a site which reflected creativity and healing. I used and created graphics which felt like traditional art materials such as crumpled textured paper, paintbrush strokes, and gestural drawings to give the site a very tactile feel.
What I learned from the project: I learned that communication is the key to keeping everyone on track in a project. Keeping on a time schedule is an important challenge.

Employment Objective: My objective was to learn teamworking and web development skills for large future projects.
Skills: I am practiced as a Web Designer and Search Engine Specialist working with industry standard software. This would include using direct code when creating pages, use of Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Fireworks and others. I have programming skills in Perl, Java and JavaScript.
Courses: I have taught myself most of what I know through books and online tutorials. I have also taken courses in Photoshop, and in Java with Sun Microsystems.
Project Role: My role was that of a Content Developer and Programmer. I was able to assist with setting up the Host and the use of templates in Dreamweaver. I set up the calendar, which we found at www.calendarscript.com.
What I learned from the project: I learned how important it is to stay clear and open with team members and the expectations of each. I learned also that I love to design and work with graphics but that doing paper work or programming is not where my talent can be used best.
