#alumniwebsite

Boy! ! It felt like lightning! I had fun during this project though. We were a group that got along fine; the basic idea for the alumni database quickly came to be. 

My role during this assignment was being the note taker. I took this pretty serious, since we could use the notes and the visual database as a red thread through our design process. As the project was evolving we concluded that everyone had his/her own page so we were all the designers of the website. 

During this assignment I learned that being in a team means that you have to communicate amongst one another. We all agreed on the theme of the database and the name, but personally I had some trouble in designing the website. When I told this to the group, they helped me out, and set me in the right direction.

I learned that if you make a database you should start by organizing the items you want to have in the database. Organizing is everything!!!  The way we worked was a bit too chaotic for me. We went from the idea to the people, back to the idea, and to the contest.  I learned that if I have to make a database I need a bit more structure, and maybe even a bit more research into the aspect of a database. I had the feeling sometimes I was drowning in the work we still had to do.
