Communities’ Communication through Technology

Marie Goodart — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:00:16 +0000

After my fixer upper I decided that I enjoyed working with roommates, so we expanded our business to include a larger house with two houses on the property in a higher-rent area of Redmond, WA.

Creating a community includes weekly yoga, daily or twice-daily dishes, garbage and chore coordinating, landscaping and paying the utility bills. As leader and landlord of the house I coordinate all of these things. The house is huge and houses 10 roommates with 4 roommates in the adjoining house on the same property.

I enjoy the teamwork, community building and socialization of living in a share household.

My most recent project is a Joomla CMS site with custom templates, RSS feeds, blogs, membership only access, paid-memberships, e-commerce/store, and photo galleries. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity for such a steep learning curve and learning something new every day. I work with a great team of coders, photographers, models, writers and graphic designers.

Multicultural Diversity - Marketing

Marie Goodart — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 03:13:49 +0000

During my employment with Olympic College I made flyers for all sorts of different groups working with the Student Government, Athletics, Student Programs, Veterans, and all the different clubs sponsored by the Multicultural Services, including Break-dancing (Rock-C), Polynesian dance, and Black Student Union. In each individual club I gathered materials from the club members or leaders and always attempted to incorporated a skill among them such as photography or drawing. Almost every club had something to contribute and they felt proud to have a piece of their own work published to represent themselves.

Marketing

Event attendance heavily relies on marketing, such as advertisements, posters, flyers, sidewalk chalks, handouts, and other very visual printed materials.

This particular event, Olympic College Car and Bike Show involved the Student Programs, Campus Security, Automotive Department and the Car Club to make it happen. All of the prizes were donated by businesses who wanted to promote their products, including the trophies.

The diversity of Olympic College taught me to change styles and pick up expectations and ideas from many different types of people through the Multicultural clubs to the Student Government flyers, I did just about everything.

Working at Olympic College I designed and created about 10 flyers/posters a day along with their quarter pages, banners and handouts.

CSS Layout using ImageReady, PhotoShop, Dreamweaver and Notepad

Marie Goodart — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 09:22:26 +0000

When I first discovered CSS layouts, I was already designing websites for guilds. This new code came out and it offered the ability to create custom fields of text over a very customizable layout. I was very interested and began creating the graphic backgrounds and moving divs around using absolute positioning code. I really enjoyed the ability to make the page look exactly how I wanted it to.

The guild organization was of course my first priority in these projects, second was the satisfy the dynamic and culture of each guild’s theme, and then create spaces to market and advertise the guild’s activities such as member spotlights, raffles, and news.

During this transition from imagemaps to CSS, some of the guilds wanted an imagemap that linked to their guild website. I used Adobe ImageReady and PhotoShop with a combination of Dreamweaver and Notepad for coding the CSS.

European Photography Set

Photos from a photography set I took while I lived in Spain and traveled a lot of Europe from 2000-2003. I was in high school and enjoyed photographing architecture the most.

Here is where I will be posting all the photo thumbnails with a flash player slideshow.

Fine Arts

Marie Goodart — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 00:48:16 +0000

My skills do include hand-drawing and hand-drafting along with photography. These are skills that I use to help formulate ideas, sketch a client’s idea during a meeting or visualize a preferred page layout, website design and flow charts.

This sketch is from my Design I course my sophomore year. This particular drawing took about 3 weeks and 1 week to study the still life setup.

Bamboo

Marie Goodart — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 03:26:35 +0000

Bamboo keeps repeating in my artwork during the years I was going to Evergreen State College. I used the bamboo inside my fish tank, on my desk, as supportive structure in my temporary building, and especially in my printmaking course. I enjoy the simplicity of the bamboo’s structure. This is part of an idea sketching assignment for my architectural design course also at Evergreen.
