Here we go!

Today was day one of DIGI 496 and we have been introduced to our project for the year. It sounds like this course is to be very self-directed, which can be expected for a fourth year course. The majority of the student are working in groups to create a project for a real-world client. Two potential projects popped into my mind: a website for a folk singer and a website for a music promotion company. However, as I work full time and deal with clients and work in groups on a daily basis, I thought I might learn more from working independetly.

I think I'm going to create my own website for my jewelry company, Namaste Jewelry. I actually find it harder to do my own work than client work so this will probably be good for me. This week will involve drafting up a learning contract as well as a contract between Doug and myself as he will be the client.

This project excites me which makes me think it will be the right one. It can be hard to stay motivated but I think if I'm passionate about it should make it a lot easier!
