The Vendor Client Relationship

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012 @ 3:08 pm in Internet 1 Comment

This morning in class my teacher shared with us an awesome video that shows what it would be like if clients treated other professionals the way they treat web designers. It’s pretty funny, because if you’ve ever read Clients From Hell, you’ll recognize those clients in the video.

Happy Q*Bee Blogging Day!

Saturday, December 17th, 2011 @ 9:45 am in QBee 3 Comments

In addition to Lovely Geek being revamped, my fellow Quilting Bee members should take notice that my quilt is updated with a new layout. I’ve been a MIA bee for quite sometime (boooo school), and I felt what better to celebrate Q*Bee Blog Day than to get a fresh start!

For those of you wondering what this “Quilting Bee” thing is, allow me to gush about this wonderful club. The Quilting Bee is an online pixeling club that has been around since 2000. The idea is to create a quilt page along with your own patch and trade patches with other members, thus putting together a quilt of traded patches. You can see my quilt as an example. In addition to trading patches with other members, there are monthly activities to participate in as well.

I have been a member of The Quilting Bee since 2004. A lot of my online friends have been made through this club. I’m so happy to be apart of this club, and I’m so grateful for all the wonderful friends I’ve made. If you’re not a member, consider joining!

 

Intermediate Motion Graphics

Friday, December 16th, 2011 @ 1:00 pm in School No Comments

Picking up right where Motion Graphics left off, I feel like I ended this quarter with more work that I’m proud of than the quarter before.

A lot of the stuff we did was silly little exercises, but one of them was to create a countdown; I chose to jazz it up a bit and do a countdown flip clock.

Then for our mid-term we had to do a title sequence or teaser trailer, so I did a teaser trailer for The Hobbit.

Based on the feedback I got on my mid-term project, I decided to do another title sequence and challenge myself further. I did a title sequence to Kill Bill.

I had a lot more fun in this class then I did in the beginning class last quarter, but I’m glad that I’m done with After Effects for now, hah!
