Week 3 EOC: My first youtube video for class

The Class Video

The process of uploading this video consisted of our group finding a location to shoot a video. Jason held the camera while myself and Amar participated in being in the video. After the video was recorded, the group went back to the classroom. Jason then emailed me the video. At this point, I signed into my YouTube account. I then proceeded to upload and edit the video through YouTube. I added the credits using the video editor tool. After upload was complete, I emailed the link to Jason and Amar so that they can share the video on their blogs. In order to share the video, I had to click on the share link on YouTube and copy the embed HTML code. Afterwards, I was able to paste the HTML code on this blog. Above is the final product. In the end, I learned that it is always good to learn the process of what your project will be in the future so that you don't end up wasting your time.

Week 2 EOC: Analysis of Healthcare.gov

Initially, the government healthcare website looks simple and easy to navigate. However, the link that you click in order to apply becomes far more complicated. The link directs you to another link according to your state. Then while searching through the different plans, the website corners you into signing up as a member before proceeding further. If for some reason the user is unable to sign up as a member of the website, the user will be stuck at a dead end. Furthermore, when the user wants to view more details of a specific health care plan, the user get redirected again to another website. After being directed once again, the new website annoyingly asks you to sign up as a member for the website when trying to build a detailed healthcare plan. If a user were to successfully apply for health care through the government website, the user would have gone through signing up for two separate memberships and several minutes of their time in order to receive healthcare benefits. The entire process seems redundant and frustrating.

Week 1 EOC: My Voice

As a professional web designer, I have always had an interest in the process of how web pages are being built. Every web page is unique and extraordinary. Through basic code writing, anything can be customized on a web page. It only takes seconds to change a color, increase a size, or change a placement on a web page. Most people would find this kind of stuff boring, but I have always found this process fascinating. Many people have different information, ideas, and opinions that want to be heard. What better way to share information but through the world wide web. A web page is by far the greatest asset when it comes to sharing information. I am the professional that can turn your concept into creation. I have always been a hands on type of person. There is truly nothing I can’t figure out once I start working on something. I am always looking for challenging tasks to accomplish. I am the professional that not only makes a webpage look presentable, but also functional and easy to navigate to all users. There is nothing more satisfying to me than helping others while enjoying the task at hand. This is why web design suits me so well.
