Final Post on Senior Project Management

Portfolio Editing:

For our class we had to come up with a six week plan on what we hope to achieve before the end of the semester. I have been working hard and have managed to keep up with the schedule I made for myself. It makes the class easier to get through having something to do. Keith Jones, the Graphic Design instructor, has been kind enough to help me go over my designs now and in the past to make sure I have the best possible work. Luckily I have most of my designs already finished, they just need a bit more editing and then I'll be able to slide them into my print and website portfolio. 

I have finished seven out of 21-22 tasks I've set myself so I feel pretty confident that I can get it done with the amount of time left. Especially since I have all of Spring Break to work on everything. Trust me, I'd prefer to enjoy to enjoy myself but all of my teachers have assigned homework at the last minute and is due when we get back on April 2. So work, work, work for me.

About Book:

One of the most relatable quotes from the book, for most people, is "I go through the chores, the correspondence, the obligations of daily life. Again I’m there but not really. The clock is running
in my head; I know I can indulge in daily crap for a little while, but I must cut it off when the bell rings" (McKee, 69). Because most days I just go through the motions to try to get through the day, but I don't actually feel inspired to do anything. Just making it through the day seems like an achievement, especially when all you want to do is go to sleep. As a college student this quote from the book is fairly accurate to what I do Monday-Friday every week. I do the work but I don't do it for pleasure or because I am inspired, I do it because it has to be done.

About Portfolio:

I have continued to work on images to add to my website and come up with new and creative designs as well. So far I have added; 3 new logos, 3 brochures (front and back images), and 3 business cards. None of these, unfortunately, are real companies but they look clean and professional. I am going to edit these images to be more readable on the computer screen but other than that I will continue working on more designs to add to my portfolio. 

About Group:

The big day came, we turned in out process book and the website URL to the teacher and are officially done with the project. We did not have to present our work to our employers or the class, which was kind of a relief. Now that we are done with the website we have moved on to working by ourselves to create a resume, and continue to work on our website portfolio.

I now have to come up with a proposal about what I hope to achieve in the next 8 weeks by Tuesday, and I have to find a phrase from The War of Art to use for our discussion as well.

About Group:

We have finished our parts in the assignment which is good since it it due the 8th of March. As of now we have sorted through our group notes and gave them to our team leader to help her with the process book. She managed to complete the process yesterday during class time and we will present it  together to the class on the 8th. Hopefully we have recorded everything necessary, and we have everything we need for our website as well. If all goes well our employers will decide to use our website from now on. 

About Book:

The second part of the book (Book 2) still mentions "Resistance" every now and then but luckily it has moved on to more motivational chapters. These chapters have to do with the drive to succeed and to stay motivated doing what you do. Even pushing yourself father with the work you love, to not lose the passion in your work. Doing this means "Resistance" can't stop you from achieving your goals. Just as long as you can stay motivated you can continue doing what you enjoy and have a fulfilling life.
