I can't wait to see the our finished product!
I know that I focused on graphics on this project, and its something Im comfortable with, but I got help from Jenna and Travis. I know that neither are particularly fond of illustration the way I am. But i got Jenna to like doing illustration which to me is a plus, if I can help strengthen up that skill thats a good thing for me.
Granted I felt a bit limited in what I could do. ActionScript is not my friend, so when the project was proposed as AS rather than HTML and CSS, I was a bit weary....
But its alright, I think we all are going to have a nice portfolio piece, although I wish Diana didn't take it all on herself to do the coding, because it really is a lot of work! but I also know that we're not in the AS class right now, so its still fresh in her mind.
On a side note...
Kudos to those that have kids and are in school, this week so far has been hard. Having to get up after an hour of sleep to take my younger sister to school is not something I recommend doing.
I honestly don't know how us as students survive on such little sleep and are still able to function.
Three more to go

blogging
I happened to have some free time on Sunday, so I decided to help a friend with some of her homework.
She is taking a multimedia class, granted she is Journalism major down at San Jose State; So you can imagine she isn't really tech or internet savoy.
She actually needed help with her blog and adding a header.
In my opinion, the new blogger is SOMEWHAT idiot proof (at least for me).
For some reason she couldn't get the header to work. Now Blogger now has widgets and a layout editor, which to me makes it easier to use if you know what you are doing.
I took a look at the CSS for the blog, and helped her insert the header image in.
She was amazed that I could even read all the html code. I thought it was kinda funny, since this is somewhat second nature to do at this point for me.
I upgraded her blog to the newer format (she was in the old blogger layout) for her convince. I really wanted to fix her blog overall, but I knew that she wouldn't learn that way.
I have a feeling that I am going to be helping her with the next couple of projects because they are web based; I don't mind since it brushed my skills up and its also good karma.
After she left, I thought she'd be prefect for user testing.
