Week 10

This week I worked on my website and my self promo. I got most of my work plugged into my website. I also started working on my self promo. I had two ideas that I am interested in. The one idea was to create paint chips with my info and some of my projects on them and then clamp them together to make a paint chip sampler like the ones paint stores have. The other idea was to print one of my projects on one side of paper, my info on the other side, and then fold that paper into some kind of origami shape. I am leaning more towards the origami idea.

Week 9

This week I focused on getting all of my articles written for my self-authorship. I also changed my layouts just a tad by having one typeface used at least once in the title of each article. This helps with the continuity within the book.

Week 8 (Spring Break)

This week I worked more on my iPad menu. I found more images of the food. I also worked more on writing the articles for my self authorship. And I tweaked my TreeTops website a little. I had some minor issues that I fixed. I also started putting together a business card.

Week 7

This week I worked more on my iPad menu. I added slideshows to each of the pages and added some more color to the pages. I split some of the pages from one to two pages, because when I added the slideshow in, I didn't have enough room for all of the content. I think I am close to finishing this project. I just need to find high resolution images for each option and come up with an idea as to why this restaurant is unique. I may need to change the background story that I originally had to fit this new brand.

I also started to write the content (articles) for my self-authorship book. I decided to make the articles sound more like a blog post than a professional article. I felt that this would be more acceptable since it's a book written by a college student to incoming college students. It makes the articles feel more personable if I tell them from my point of view than from the third persons view.

I also finished editing my digital publication. All I have left to do for that project is to rerecord the walk-through and add a voice over to it.

Week 6

This week I made more changes to my Strawberry Shortcake Diet. I changed some of the text and added a recipe to the last page. I worked more on my iPad menu. I also added a Reference page to my digital publication and changed some of the typefaces in the article titles.

Week 5

This week I published the survey for my self-authorship. I am asking people about their experiences at college and I am going to use their responses to create the articles for my How To guide. I also finished my Bianco e Nero logo animation. I also started playing around with interactions in my menu. I made some changes to my resume. I also started creating the layouts for my self-authorship publication.

Week 4

This week I finished my Strawberry Shortcake Diet layouts. I also started putting my Type 1 menu into an interactive iPad menu. In addition to that, I have also been looking for better pictures to use so I can update my digital iPad magazine publication. I had planned to have my logo animation finished by now, but I ran into a snag that has delayed me. The music file that I used for the background seems to have gone missing. I have the original file but I had cut and edited the music to make it fit in the video. I now have to go back and redo those steps before being finished.
