Project Report, Week Ten

Well, this week I dove into Acrobat 9 to start converting my portfolio to an online version. I must say I felt a little frustrated with the process. Don't get me wrong, I love the site as a tool to create awesome looking portfolio files, but for someone like me who already has one created and just wants to convert it - it's not so fun. :-(

Next week, I plan to continue practicing with Acrobat 9 to see if I can make it do what I want it to do. Otherwise, my final output may end up being a PDF document.

Until next week...

Project Report, Week Nine

Last week I completed the editorial review for my portfolio to date and I received some positive feedback from classmates. It was challenging to decide exactly what to include in the review. I almost decided to create an entirely new document in the form of a webpage for review.

According to the course website, next week's assignments are still to be determined. I plan to start researching web services and browsing format options for my portfolio. Although I initially wanted to present it as a PDF, some think it may be nicer as a website.

I will review the recommendations that were made by Prof. Moore regarding setting up the webpage design and start making progress in that direction this week and next.

Until next week,
Stacy

Project Report, Week Eight

My portfolio project is coming together nicely. Next week, I plan to focus on translating my design to the web design that I discussed a few weeks ago.

Aside from the portfolio project, this week proved to be a challenge as we addressed the copyright laws in class. I am not experienced with copyright but it is important to understand how to obtain permission and protect your work as well.

I plan to continue to read up on copyright laws in order to further gain understanding on what to do and what not to do...especially as I begin to post more of my work on the web.

Until next week,
Stacy
