Today was a very productive day for me in my internship. I finally got an official copy of the roster for the cheer and dance teams so I could complete my new and improved roster for wakeforestsports.com. I believe I explained earlier on that I have been asked to redesign and rewrite the cheer/dance page for the website. The first step was updating the roster with the most recent list of athletes. I had initially just asked the teams to fill out a questionnaire that asked them about where they're from, their cheer/dance experience, etc., but then I realized that not everyone had filled one out. I didn't want to publish the roster without having everyone on there, so I was waiting for the official roster from the head coach. He sent it to me over the weekend, so today I was able to make sure I had everyone included.
Once I finished the roster, I wrote a quick staff bio for the website, then started working on the actual new cheer/dance page. I am not too keen on web design, but I am avid in-class doodler. So coming up with a layout and general look for the new front page was not too difficult for me. I had already come up with a plan for the page so today I started working on the header graphic. I used to use Photoshop all the time, but ever since I got my Mac five years ago, I have not needed anything more than iPhoto to edit my photographs. For some reason I am pretty good at figuring out computer stuff as I go though, so working with Photoshop has not been too difficult yet.
That was pretty much all I worked on today. I need to start researching my next feature story, but given that I have a feature to write for the Old Gold and Black by Sunday, I am hoping to start that one next week.
I'll keep you updated!
