Employment Objective: To join my husband in his work as an established web designer in our company: SubtleFx.com. In truth: to remain gainfully self-employed, enjoying the freedom to schedule our own work time...and to spend as much time at play as possible!
Skills: Beginner at Dreamweaver Advanced Beginner with Project Management Intermediate: Content Developer and Text Writer
Courses: Dreamweaver Parts A and B, which wil be completed in a few weeks Web Content Development
Project Role: project manager: while roland likes to call me 'the boss', i was more open to my role as a 'point person': the one who knew what was percolating with the designer, the designer and client's ideas as a very compatible working relationship, (which i honored and found it wise to be informed and not always hands-on involved) and keeping mindful of the timelines on the way through the project.
What I learned from the project: until this project, i had not managed a web team in site production...i had not, in fact been involved in this manner with in any web project start to finish. as a professional chef, managing kitchen crews of up to 20 over a 7 days project (yes, 3 squares a day!)...i had a universal skill set known to many as 'creative process', which helped me to remain level and to seek end results in a new creative arena. our greatest challenge was during production...keeping our communications going, so important information about subtle changes would not cause anyone double effort.

Employment Objective: My employment objective will be to start my own freelance marketing and web design business in the second quarter of 2002.
Skills: Extensive experience in high-tech product retailing, with expertise in Marketing, Operations, Information Technology. Designed, managed, and marketed corporate website, intranet, and third party product focused websites. Negotiated contracts, managed vendor relations, and outsourced products and services with high-tech Fortune 500 companies.
Courses: Courses: Creating Web Pages with HTML, Principles of Screen Design, Web Content Practicum, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, Graphics for the web, Electronic Portfolio, Telecommunications Certifications: Career Graphic Web Designer, HTML Web Content Developer Mastery, Macromedia Dreamweaver Web Content Developer Mastery, Adobe Certification Training in Photoshop Mastery.
Project Role: My project role was that of the designer. As the semester progressed, I was required to do some programming and assist the CD's with html page creation. Created design mock-ups based on client criteria. Generated storyboard content and list of deliverables; developed 2nd level page template, index page and created over 300 images to be used in 192 html pages. Created DHTML rollover menus, JavaScript slide show; completed testing with the client. Insured that the site would work in Netscape or IE, 2 versions back and was cross/platform compatible.
What I learned from the project: As a designer you are required to put your ideas out for the world to critique. Which is why a designer needs to have pretty thick skin. The programming and content development side is also a challenge to take the designers ideas and be able to make it work in many different image vehicles. This experience taught me how to create navigational fly-outs and pop-up image galleries. All in all this was a good learning experience.

Project Role: I was an additional Content Developer with this as my second team. With some team meetings, much telecommuting, I organized the site content, and created many thumbnail images that each called on a pop-up window (page) for the Photo Gallery.
What I learned from the project: With two teams interacting via e-mail, and with 8 categories (pages) of thumbnails plus corresponding pop-up windows, file and time management became the highest priorities. Learning Dreamweaver on the fly also became a valuable asset on this project.
