Blog 9:
In what ways were Projects 2 and 3 different for you? How was the experience of doing a personal, informal website different from the experience of doing a formal, organizational website? Which one did you prefer and why? Did each have its own unique pleasures and problems?
The main difference between project 2 and 3 for me was the fact that I was the client for one, and I have a real client for the other. Otherwise, I’ve still run into the same difficulties a very inexperienced user would have on both projects. I’ll admit this class has been a real challenge for me, which I both like and dislike. I enjoy being able to show what I’ve done when the process is over, but I hate feeling like I’m struggling or falling behind as I try to figure out what I’m doing while I’m building the sites. Doing the personal, informal website was a lot different because I sort of got free reign with it and could do whatever I wanted, whereas with this one, I have to talk to my client and let him figure out what he wants. Luckily, he and I are pretty good friends, so he lets me have a little sway in his decision making if I feel like what he wants to do is stupid. I actually prefer doing the formal one I think, simply because I like being told exactly what is expected of me, while with the informal I had no clue if I was doing way too much or too little work.
