Beyond Behind
Filed Under (LCC, Life) by darkangeldaria on 27-02-2009
Despite that I read my design blogs every morning amidst e-mail at work, I’ve been a bad bad little blogger.
I’m reaching the end of my time at LCC, which is both exciting and terrifying all at once. I have a good plan in mind for my remaining education (getting a bachelors in web development), but it still seems a bit frightening to be ending this now.
Part of my second to last ssmester is taking the portfolio course which is requiring me to do that which I’ve been telling myself to do for about 5 years – get a portfolio and portfolio website put together.
The unfortunate side effect is that extra time is not built into taking this course. It seems the closer I get to completed school the less time I actually have for school.
So it goes, so it goes.
On to more important ventures, there seems to be a trend on all the design blogs I read right now regarding going back to the basics – starting fresh and designing correctly straight out of the gate. Considering all of the important factors often overlooked at that first moment of aha! I’ve got the perfect design.
Usability, Accessibility, Color, Validation, these are the things everyone is writing about…and the things I’m always thinking about while trying to make something ‘cool’.
It’s good to see that shift from Web 2.0 thinking a bit.
Alas, that will have to do for today – work to be done in all realms of the world and not eneough hours in a day to do it.
