. reminders .

I am doing a website next for a previous psychological counselor who taught metaphysics. She’s now a psychic medium, animal psychic and does past life regression. She calls herself a widow who talks to her pets. I relate to her shame. She’s surprisingly jaded. I interview her on Thursday.

I’m interested to learn about her own diagnoses.
1. what upbringing did you have growing up?
2. how did you react to college?
3. what is your experience with childhood pets?
4. tell me about what you shared with your deceased boyfriend?
5. how did you first start to learn about your past life?
6. what did you do with your day yesterday?
7.

I also need to work on my resume for GSD&M
Or just interview questions

. web design .

1. Kate Chin (the web designer) has agreed to work on the MAC site. She has a couple projects to finish up first, but I have already sent her the .ai and .psd files. I will be helping her on her other projects to get to ours faster.

2. The .ai/.psd files I sent her can be viewed here (click the image 5 times.

3. I have decided to spend the majority of my time working freelance in partnership with Kate Chin. Feel free to still call me when you need help with something- especially photography and graphic design. The pictures and the work we've done (and will continue to do) is free and belongs to you, so don't worry about any legal crap. I appreciated working with you guys and learning about the film industry.

4. I spoke with the additional interns and will be emailing and updating them on the progress of the site. Amelia can help with the content and writing for the site. I will be in close contact with her throughout this project.

. week 02 .

1. I put up the revised ad (emphasis on diversity) on craigslist and austinactors.net. Plus, I hunted down about 8 new girls for the music video auditions.

2. I posted an ad on Craigslist for a partnership to help me with the web design aspect of my work. I am hoping to find someone who I work well with and can refer clients to in the future. Hopefully get some extra money helping with photography and design. I will post the potential web designers on this journal. Feel free to give me advice if you have a preference on who you think would make a good freelance partner.

3. I tried taking pictures of the black board to keep people up to date on the notes, but it turned out very hard to make them legible. But I tried. Here they are- under "the black board"

4. Btw, thank you Matt and Nick for the pizza ;)

5. Sorry I took off early today. I'll have to take off another day or two next week (once I find out which prints need to be made) so I can get those printed, framed and marked before June 1st.

6. I registered for a couple classes at UT this summer, so I will be busy doing that as well. I'm really looking forward to actually taking my first photography class :)

7. I met the casting lady today and please let her know that if she wants an extra hand, I'm always willing to do grunt work. I find her job interesting and really would like to be a fly on the wall for the auditions just to learn what they are like.

8. Congrats Justin on your graduation :) Let me know if you need any help drinking this weekend.

9. One more thing, if any of you are interested in going kayaking with me on Sunday, call me. I will send you the details. Right now, we can only fit on about 3 people for the kayaks. But if you have tubes, like hiking or just want to drink the woods (Ink National Park?) then please come! That means you too Nick- despite your sleep deprivation ;)

Potential Web Designer #3: Sathya Raja

Hi Dana,

I’m sending this mail in response to your posting at craigslist.org I looked
at your website and I like your design style and it shows your one of a kind
personality.

I’m a Graphic/ interactive designer. My main interest lies in web designing,
animation and digital video. I love coding, you can see in my resume that I
have a programming background.

I’m very comfortable in Flash MX, Dreamweaver MX, Fireworks MX, Photoshop,
AfterEffects and illustrator. I’m also good in action script and java script
and more eager in learning a lot in that. Currently I’m doing some freelance
work, designing some websites and I’m looking some one to partnership with.
I honestly think that I can partnership with you and if the company you are
working for would give me an offer for an initial practice run, that would
be great.

I’m attaching my resume with this mail and if you are interested I can send
you my work samples.
Thank you and I’m looking forward to hear from you.

Sathya
