When
Ms. Lake told the class that the librarian was coming to our class
today to talk about a library website for Crawford. I was pretty
excited
to hear what he got to say. I am
really into designing layouts and banners. Then Ms. Lake called
my name to work on the library site, I was pretty stunned that
she would trust me working on a website since it was my first year.
I
thought that this project would’ve been really fun and
easy. But each day it got harder and harder. It was really complicated
because the librarian
would change his mind a lot but it was the simplest thing to fix. I was
thankful
that I had my teammates because they were there to help me whenever I had
a problem.
We were behind the first week because we were just beginners,
we were struggling a quiet bit. We didn’t know what
to expect. But we broke it down in pieces. Linda and myself
worked with banners, while My, Henry and Sydney worked
with
buttons. It ended up being us 5 working with this website. I was quite
surprise because it was our first website to create and
we learned quickly.
Working on banners with Linda was really fun because we had a
lot of ideas, and we made about 7 banners. He finally
liked one of our banner which
is posted
on the website. I was really proud of myself because one of my own works
was posted on the website and lots of people would see them.
The
banner was really
simple
yet it fits the whole page.
This was a great experience for me, because this would help me
in the future. I wanted to do something with web designing,
that would’ve been plan B
if my plan A didn’t work out. I haven’t worked on Dreamweaver
nor have I ever created any buttons. Buttons were really hard to do,
there were so
many steps that we had to go through just to make it all perfect, but
we got through it all. I already knew my way around Adobe Photoshop;
maybe that’s
why I wanted to work with the banners.
I don’t think my group would’ve gone far as we have now
if we didn’t
have each other. We helped one another, we worked as a team, and
that’s
how we got to create a website and met each deadlines. It was quite
hard, yet it was still fun. Even if some people got mad, we knew
we had to let it go
because it was just frustration taking over.
