I think it ends next friday. Here’s a little of what you’re missing.

If you live in the Dallas area, and you have some free time over the next 2 weeks, get your booty on over to Dallas City Hall to take a gander at all the amazing art entries from the City of Dallas Employee Art Show. It is part of the National Arts Program. I have 2 photography pieces in the show that received honorable mention this year. The exhibit also features art from my dad and sister as well as many other very talented women and men, girls and boys. There are 3 categories (beginner, intermediate and professional) and there is an array of media used. You can find anything from oil paintings to jewelry, and pen and ink to wood crafts.. there is some really interesting stuff to look at. Check it out, it’s pretty cool. I participate every year. It’s just something fun to do and a good way to earn extra cash. 

So go, it’s going on now through next week!

I haven’t used this page in so long… I am totally going to start again right now. 

… Because everyone knows blogging is fun!

I haven’t made a personal site for my portfolio work that I am proud enough of to actually publish, so I just plan to build one for my final. My personal logo is an octopus so I want to make it kind of ocean-floor like. I plan to utilize a cool color scheme with bright warm color accents. 

I took intro so long ago.. my objectives and goals might be a bit different since I am pretty much teaching myself scripting 1 again since the first time around really wasn’t that effective anyway.

1. Gain a broader understanding of the way html and CSS work so I can design a professional portfolio website.

2. I would like to be able to solve design problems in a web format that mimics my talent as a print designer.

3. I would also like to use tools available to me to broaden my knowledge about web design.

4. Find ways to explore tricks and tips that will help me be a more effective web designer.

5. Gain the skills that I will need to have a competitive edge on students at other schools that will join the design world at the same time as me.
