Journal

Goals:

  • complete mock interview for a User Interface designer position and define my salary goals and hourly freelance wage
  • finalize my moodboards, make sure to include more images related to products and grocery stores
  • take my logo sketches from last week, give them more fidelity using Illustrator to get them ready for another round of critiques
  • continue to work on my mobile prototype, set up the site structure and create a jQuery mobile theme

Issues covered/Response from advisor:

  • after much research, decided that using jQuery Mobile then using PhoneGap to build my prototype was the best decision and use of my skills
  • I am more comfortable giving a presentation to a live (virtual) audience than into a vacuum

Goals for next week:

  • make corrections and modifications to my logos and then decide on final logotype design after feedback from this week
  • continue to work on my prototype, modifying the CSS/SASS to get the basic layout for the main search page
  • re-explore teaching as another career option after completing my masters, this time at the college level
