In the last blog I mentioned the current projects I am working on for all of my classes. Well I have been working on each one since then and thought I’d share the progress on them :D!

Web Development

This is not our final project. We had to build a social networking website. I chose to create one about gamers. With the help of my super-awesome professor we were able to add the ability of people to upload screenshots to display on their profile. I am really loving this class and sad it’s almost over! Our final project is creating a Wordpress site – think I should be fine with that one  Already turned in this website, just waiting for my grade. And my professor emailed me asking if he can use my website as an example for future semesters YAY!

Here is my website. Feel free to sign up!

Painting I

I think this is a method I may use for a future painting. Creating something in photoshop and then painting it. I am really loving how my painting is turning out so far (the picture is kinda bleh :P). I plan on creating a blog post just about this painting once it’s completed to show the full process for it. As well as discuss why I painted what I did. This project is due Wednesday!

Media Print Problems Workshop

I finished the book resume we had to design and showed my professor on Thursday. She basically told me that I could design something better – and she’s right! I am currently working on a new book (which I’ll post pictures of once it’s finished) but have also been coding away at the website. Still have quite a bit of coding to do but it’s up if people want to see it so far.

Go here to see my portfolio.

In other news, I also opened two new blogs over the last few weeks! ChicksPwn.us which is a group gaming blog! Will post reviews, general gaming chat, and more. I also opened TradeChat.us with my boyfriend (although I’ve been the only one posting haha) where it’s all about World of Warcraft! I also even opened back up my youtube channel (nacochan) where I have been posting WoW videos and soon will post gameplay from my xbox 360 as well as vlogs.

Holidays are around the corner (and so is graduation!) and we’ve already started final projects in some of my classes. So I figured, why not show what I am currently working on in school

Web Development

This is not our final project and is due December 2nd (our final project has to do with Wordpress :P) and we have to create a social networking website. Mine is called Chickspwn, and it’s a social networking website for gamers (not just females!). The site itself is not fully set up yet but I do have the logo ready to go. It’s originally a logo I am using for a group gaming blog but want to use it for this project as well. I am really excited about working on this project!

Painting I

In painting class we have started our final project. We have to collage something (in photoshop or through photos etc) and then paint what we collaged. The painting has to be based off a song of our choosing and we have to include an element from art history in it. I chose the song “Wishing Weed” by Jason Reeves. When my boyfriend was diagnosed with cancer last year I found myself listening to this song a lot. I’ve been working on my collage in photoshop and this is what I have so far.

The art history element is the melting clock which is inspired by Salvador Dali.  I still have some editing to do on collage (especially the shadow!) but I am excited to begin painting it on Monday.

Media Print Problems Workshop

We started our final project over a week ago. We have to create either a 35 page book or a resume book and create a portfolio website. Since I’ve been wanting to redesign my portfolio anyways this is perfect! I am submitting the book today to Lulu to get it printed so don’t have pictures of it quiet yet but below is what I have so far for my porfolio.

The ribbon up top is the navigation, which will be purple originally but will change colors with each hover.

I’m excited to finish up this semester and excited to finish up all of these projects And of course once everything is completed I will create a follow up posts of the projects

I am very excited to be graduating in less than a month and can not believe I am FINALLY getting my degree. School can be hard and finding the right school can be even harder but it doesn’t have to be. Degreejungle.com does a search based on what you are looking for in an online degree. Whether it’s financial aid, a specific degree, or even price it does all of the work for you and searches through several dozens of schools to help you pick the right one.

Another feature that DegreeJungle.com has is that you can check the rankings for some for the best online colleges. I love the school that I went to but if I chose to get a second degree I think getting it online may be the best choice for me. Online classes will make it a lot easier if you have a job or other obligations. And DegreeJungle.com will make it much easier to do that.
