I feel relief that I did it

 Sigh.....I made it through the project and all of the course requirements.  I should have know better that this was going to be a big challenge for me.  I did the best that my logical brain could do.  I tried to think outside of the box and give my website a true representation of myself as a person and designer.  I think for me I am more passionate about what the items I create help to promote.  If I am making something for a cause or organization that I really care about, I seem to do a better job.  I think all that I have learned will allow me to creatively grow over time.  Best wishes to everyone!

Design...for Christmas????

 Some people spend all of there time on decorating or trying to finish their Christmas shopping.  I got the decorating done and have most of my shopping done.  I find my lights outside give an outlet for my creative juices.

But then came the time to DESIGN my Christmas Cards and I got all caught up in picking the perfect images of my dog to share with everyone I know in the words. And this photo below happened.  Man my Molo sure is pretty!  She is going to be a star on my graphically designed Christmas card.

What?? what do you mean my minor is going away?

 So this week has been a different type of challenge. I found out that the minor I was working towards is being discontinued in 2024.  SOOOO if I want to keep it, I need to focus on completing it SOON!  I have had a huge amount of different types of communication trying to get my classes straightened out for Spring!  All while working on updating my website.  All this time online...it's worth it right?  My dog might not agree.

Well that was a challenge

 Week 7 is a wrap.  I created a draft of a website, while I know it is a work in progress, that I am not afraid to show other people.  I tried to be creative and think of different ways I could showcase the information.  I need to work on changes for next week, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  There is hope for me yet.

I did it!! Here is a link to the beginning of my website.  https://sparklethrulife492993456.wordpress.com/

#selfdoubt rolls in

 So know week seven is coming to a close.  Next week is a time of finalizing all of the things that we have been working on.  Can I do it?  I hope so.  I viewed some of my classmates websites and I have to tell you I was IMPRESSED!  There are some talented people in this class.  I know that I am taking this class as a subject that is outside of my comfort zone.  I am trying to improve as each week moves forward.  I need to remember that I can do this.  I can shine as the individual that I am.  Let's get this.

the one with the missing title...

 

This is the week that I have to start designing a personal website to show me as a designer.  now one might say that describing yourself and what you vision is should be easy....but then try to be an Organizational Communication major trying to be overly creative.  I am good at coming up with ideas, but sometimes executing them isn't my forte! So here I am being raw with my thought process trying to share the real me. I think in my website I will use pictures and videos to show more of me.  Should I add a link to this blog?  That sounds like a decent idea.
