project 1.5: boxed photography
Food photography is great, right? Easy. Just snap a photo with the old iPhone, throw it on Instagram, and wait for the likes to roll in. Not so much when you are playing at professional food photography, fully equipped with a “real” camera, high expectations, and no clue what you are doing (naturally). The objective:Continue reading “project 1.5: boxed photography”
project 1: donor “coupons”
I have my first project! Meals on Wheels is in a large fundraising effort (which, as I learned today, is called a capital campaign) because we got a new building (stunning) and are trying to raise the money to pay off the rest of the loan—while simultaneously funding all of our normal meal delivery programs.Continue reading “project 1: donor “coupons””

It is summer 2020, and the world is on fire.

Week 8
Where am I now? This week, I added five stories (Chauntelle’s) with images and space for the tips and facts to link out. I also figured out how to make the “margin notes” for the tips/facts and created a generation page for the individual tips/facts. It currently looks like this: Where do I want toContinue reading “Week 8”
Week 7
Where am I now? Well, I talked to a lot of people this week, and they were super helpful. Talking to Josh from Superhumane resulted in a better structure for my firebase and possibly a solution to my formatting/navigation errors. Yay! And talking to Gail (at long last and still not in person) was alsoContinue reading “Week 7”
Week 6
Refresher: Last week, I was polishing a test area to show to Laurel, making an illustrator file for the lantern, and thinking about how to do the connections. Where am I now? Well, I didn’t regress, but I did manage to add more to the plate. I really like Laurel’s ideas for navigation (see mentorContinue reading “Week 6”
