Well, after a semester of planning, dreaming, and plotting, then another grueling semester of executing, back-tracking, testing, and changing, here she is. The Yggdrasil Project, my CTD (creative technology and design, the new name for our major) capstone project. My dad is kindly letting me host it on his website at the moment, here. AContinue reading “The Yggdrasil Project: Completed (for now)”

Week 10
What were my goals from last week? Make all the images on the category pages the same size Add all stories and tips to the database Where am I now? Well, as usually both further and closer than I thought I would be. First, lets address failures, then chat about successes. Failures: I’ve written overContinue reading “Week 10”
Week 9
Welcome to 90%! (ish) Where am I now? I did some restyling last week and ended up with this as the categories page: I like the latter, dark theme better, so that is what I’ve gone with. I also fixed my header bugs and got rid of the footer. In addition, I wrote a bunchContinue reading “Week 9”
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”
Capstone Mentor Feedback: David Schall and Annie Bruns
I reached out to one of my mentors, Prof. David Schall, last week and he got back pretty quickly. We met last Monday and chatted about how the project was going. He thinks that the physical component is really interesting and is pretty key to the project. He suggested that rather than using candles (aContinue reading “Capstone Mentor Feedback: David Schall and Annie Bruns”
Week 5
Refresher: last week, I wanted to work on the categories pages, get mentor feedback from Annie and get in touch with Laurel, and get some stories in the firebase so I don’t have to test with storystory and story5. Where am I now? I did get the previously listed things finished, but I’m not feelingContinue reading “Week 5”
Week 4
Refresher: Last week, my primary goal was to create a CSS outline/wireframe, get in contact with my mentors and schedule times to talk, and start the very long process of editing and reaching out to my story sources for feedback and images (if possible). Where am I now? Panicking! The fifty percent mark is NEXTContinue reading “Week 4”
Week 3
Refresher: Last week I set out to answer a few questions about Firebase, build a prototype, write more, and build a github. Where am I now? Great question, that. Where do I feel like I am? Wandering around, blind, in the woods of this utterly bewildering project. I had no idea how completely unprepared IContinue reading “Week 3”
