I Am Now An Official VCC Graduate
I have finally graduated from Vancouver Career College. Now I have to complete a practicum and after that keep on learning. There is always something new to learn in this business and that is why I love it! I could work in this field forever and never learn everything there is to know. I have a good foundation to build on, and now I will see where it takes me. You can check out my resume here —-> Robert Kennedy Resume
School was awesome. To be honest I am really going to miss it. Gord Grisenthwaite was extremely knowledgeable and I learned lots from him.
I was very pleased with the CGD course although there were a two sections that the could get rid of; The first one was sustainable futures. That was all about environmental issues and being green. It was interesting, informative and fun but really had nothing to do with design and I would have rather spend the time working on dreamweaver. Same goes for the job search module. We created our resume when we learned Microsoft Word and having another week of that was a waste of time. Time that would of been better spent on the most intense module of all - “HTML, CSS and Dreamweaver”. I spent alot of extra time in class working on this portion of the class. There was alot to learn in a very short amount of time.
We created a portfolio website. The first part of it was our portfolio. Then we created a Kasugai Gardens website and last a Urban Merchant website. This project will be online for a couple of months. You can check it out here —> Robert Kennedy Portfolio Website
Flash wasn’t part of the course but it is something I do want to master so I bought the Dummies guide to Flash CS4. Looking forward to getting a handle on that.
I also wanted to learn PHP and bought a couple of books on the subject. It is alot to take in and now I am not sure if PHP is something that I will pursue. You can’t learn everything and usually a person is either a designer or a programmer but not both. I want to be a designer so I think I will leave PHP to the programmers.
