Week 5

4 hours x 2, Monday and Wednesday. Total hours=8

Monday~

Finished 2 banners for international student registration and one for the blog.

Wednesday~

Experimented with various methods of implementing a slide show system for the dual credit student slides. I tested flickr, pictobrowser, Java script, Jquerry, and Iframes.

This week

This week I worked on styling a banner that tied into the blog look and feel while still looking good on the Parkland website. I also gained some experience with slide systems, looking for one that auto-started and looped. Although I am thus far unsuccessful finding a system that uses little or no coding for future student workers I have learned a lot about the process. I was also introduced to the CMS system and methods of importing content.

week 4

4 hours x 3, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Total hours=12

Monday~

I developed a concept for the dual credit webpage using existing elements as well as reproducing a few High School logos.

Wednesday~

An unexpected project was given to me and expected by the end of the day. I had to create a web banner in 2 formats promoting Black History Month using a print design as a guideline. I completed the project and was asked to complete two more since they were coming out so well.

Friday~

2 more web banners were completed for access success and student ambassadors, once again an unexpected project with a short turn around time. We also produced another format of the Black History Month banner to be pushed out to Smile Politely, a community online magazine. I am currently developing a concept for a foreign exchange program project.

This week

This week was an exercise in producing quality work in a short amount of time. I learned to quickly gather information and resources while simultaneously considering the direction of a project.
