Future Client

Today I had my first encounter with a future client, but I guess I should start from the beginning. I have a project due this Friday and the project is to make a 3-5 website on a local landmark or place and I choose a golf course that I wouldn't call connections just that I know the manager and most of the main people who work there. Well I talked to the manager about my project and I also threw ideas for his actual web page that the golf course has already. After throwing him the ideas and asking if he was interested in me doing a mock-up website for him in the future he told me it wouldn't be a bad idea, but he told me that the city designed the web page but I could get in contact with the person that made it and could ask him/her if I could do it. Most likely if I was able to do a new site for the city it would put my name out there more then just doing a local business . If I could just help in the process of making a new site would open alot of doors for me, seeing that just being able to put my name and copyright on a city site is a huge endorsement.

So now I have a project that could me alot more to me then just a school project but a huge door opening for me .I hope I am bringing something to the table that is worth wild.

Not to mention this is connected to my last blog in a way on how to get hired and by getting your name out there.

selling yourself

So I'll start this off with how do people do it just sell there talents to the highest bidder if there good enough at what they do? Is it as easy as some people think or does it just get easier as you go.

I know there are plenty of ways to do it so im just gonna go ahead and make a list for u hoping u need this more then me:

• Talk to people (your name is valueable and once they know what u do they
  might want to work that to there advantage and might know people).


• Put up for every job you can until u land something solid and what u wanted.


• If those two don't work try some pro-bono work for some non-profitable
  organistations, churches, and places in your community .

Who learns this

Today i learned alittle more about the Dreamweaver program for mac and really I'm kinda use to writing out the programs out the long but efficent way. Yes there are problems with it but the same with anything but what can u do right.It just might be that the book that we were going through today explaining on how to use the system was slow and it seemed to me that the people who wrote it had no common sense as if the never thought hey were telling them the long way to do this.

But then again i kinda felt the same way when I started messing around with anything in life i guess nobody likes to change. But now while I'm learning to use dreamweaver I havent exactly how to use it yet but once I do I'll be happy because that will be another hurdle in life to get past.

so ya i dont mind doing these blogs but i dont think its my thing so if u read any of these SORRY but more to come.

The few things that catch my eye

The few things that i will list below in my blog will be a few things that catch my eye in a good web page. As known in my title.

• Smart and simple


• Clean cut


• If they have a wide assortment of pictures (but only if they are about
  the subject).


• Really more then anything i like to see just a good layout in general.

As in the last week I've learned alot of things about web page designing, actually I've learned alot in the last few months. From just messing around on the computer to leaning how to use white space to your advantage, but in all it gets harder but I guess it's good that it does.
