Web Design Reflection

Technology

     I learned the technology aspect from trial and error. Also the people around me, helped me learn how to do everything. Technology is important to web design because we use it everyday and it is one of the most important skills. I did run into several challenges with my websites not functioning like they should. I also had problems with links because they didn't work properly, but in the end I, with the help of others was able to fix it.

Collaboration 

     I learned my collaboration skills from e9 and using Ryan and Ashley for help on my projects or assisting them with theirs. Collaboration is an important skill to have in web design because while you think your website looks good other people may not. It is also important because they can catch mistakes that you may have missed. I don't really have a problem with collaboration in web design.

Communication

     I learned my communication skills from Ryan, Ashley, and e9. This is a valuable skill because its literally part of the program, you always need this skill. You need it when talking to a client, working in groups, with others in your class, and just in your daily life. I don't have many problems with communication.

Project Management

     I learned my project management skills from the people around me in e9 because when they were doing their work, it made me want to do my work. Project management is important to web design because when your out in the work force they aren't gonna be happy with you if you don't meet deadlines. I do have problems with time management, in first semester I was good with my project management. Then when it came to second semester, my time management got worse. 

Leadership

     I learned my leadership skills from e9, I was in charge of managing my group. Leadership is important because you have to take charge of a situation sometimes or even of a project at times. I don't really struggle with leadership, but I also don't get many opportunities to use it in web design. 

Strengths/Weaknesses

     My strengths are communication and collaboration, they are both very easy for me to do. I am good at giving constructive criticism and advice on projects.  I am also good at working in groups, I usually end up taking charge of the group because I want everything to be done correctly and efficiently.

     My weaknesses include project management, I don't manage my time very well. I tend to not do work, when people around me don't do work. But I'm slowly improving on my time management.

Future/Past

     With what I have learned, I will apply it to all my future projects. I would change how I went about with the time management. I would also spend more time on perfecting my project.

Conclusion

      Overall I enjoyed this class and the people in this class. I like coding and making websites, they are very fun and interesting. I look forward to doing web design next year, it should be a fun class. This year was a good year and I learned a lot about web design.
