Project #2 - Shark Tank

-
Project #2 was called Shark Tank. This is very similar to the tv show Shark Tank where businesses are revealed to the shark tank to judge them and see if they have something profitable. For this project, we were instructed to make websites for client businesses. We first interviewed everyone's companies which gave us a basic idea as to what everyone's company was about. Then, we were to create websites for two of them which were given to us as clients. We were basically a marketing team to try and sell them a website that they would approve of as sharks. Our team was called FilTier Marketing Co. This website was to advertise their product and it would have to be a website worth selling to them.

The two clients that my group was assigned were Love and STCS. 

So let's start with how we went about designing Love first. Their company's goal was pretty simple. They wanted to increase the fundings for teachers in order to enhance the quality of their education. We made a few pages to get this point across for them. On the home page, it displays Love's mission statement briefly. It discusses who they are and what their future plans are. The next page is the research page. This page contains the teacher incomes across all the 50 states in the United States. The trends show that teachers are getting paid little compared to the work they are doing to create the future of society by teaching us, students. The page after that is the about us page. On this page, there is contact information via email of each member of our marketing team as well as the client team we created the website for. Lastly, we have a donation page. Using JavaScript, I made a form that users can fill out to donate a certain amount of money to the Love Foundation for them to help increase the funding for teachers.

Moving on to the next client, STCS. For their website, we used a similar layout we did for the last page and had kept similar elements. This includes the navigation bar and the about us page. On the home page of this website, we talk about how delays and over-crowding is very stressful to a huge amount of people. We also included images of crowded subway stations with a JavaScript animation that says "lets make better services" on them. The next page is the delays page, which contains research related to the way people feel on crowded trains and etc. It also shows the amount of delays that are caused on the trains as well. There is also an about us page with the same format as we did with Love. It has us as the marketing team and the founders of the company's site we worked on. Lastly, we have a services page that allows you as a user to input any kind of information related to your experience with the trains so that help can be given to you and other users.

In the end, both websites that our company made lost completely to the other clients we were competing against...

Good game.

WBL Workshop #6 Interview Skills

-
          WBL Workshop #6 was about testing our interviewing skills. First thing that happened was us entering the room without knowing that we were going to be interviewed. So as a student you could say some of us were surprised about it. There were different people interviewing students that took place during this workshop. Students were set at different "stations" of people who would interview you. I was a little confused at first about what the interview would be about and what job we were actually being interviewed for to represent a mock interview. Then I realized that a perfect job for the situation would be something revolving around being a web designer. When it was my turn to be interviewed I wasn't nervous because I had some pre-answers in my head for obvious answers.               During the interview I kept looking toward the top right, for no apparent reason. I feel like I should have been looking at the employe...

CTE Expo Reflection Journal

Image
     The objective of the CTE EXPO was to engage the freshmen into seeing what the Web Design Academy was made of and what were the benefits of joining. It was also to make their interests peak as they could be exposed to these special skills.  To prepare for the CTE EXPO I just ran through looking for my best business attire I possibly had because I knew how important this event was, During the actual event I grabbed freshmen attention by saying, "hello are you interested in learning more about the visual design part of the CTE academy?" I used that line pretty much all the time to get the attention of the freshmen who looked lost or confused. I think what went well was that most of the freshmen, all the ones I met with, had an interest in the subject because of the amount of questions they asked and how detailed their questions were. For next year's CTE EXPO it would be best to realign the table structure because the poster boards of the visual design class were in...

Lab #12 Reflection

-
This lab was fun to learn but a little difficult at first. If you were learning adobe illustrator for the first time and had to do something with it, you would have a lot of trouble if you weren't reading the tutorials or listening to them. At first for me personally it was a little hard trying to figure out what to do. I go to the lab pretty much every day on my free period. Lunch personally is boring for me. Let's get back on topic. I took my time to read the tutorial for adobe illustrator again and absorb what I read. I did the extra reading to scan what I needed to complete the lab and what skills were needed to complete it. Though I wish I can post my work here, I really can't due to the fact it is saved in a pdf file. At first the file was in an .ai file but since I had to submit it in for a grade it was transferred into a pdf file for viewing purposes. It was something we learned from reviewing adobe illustrator. Adobe illustrator wasn't that hard to learn. The b...
