Web Design Workshop in Santa Monica - Day 1

11/12/2011 Saturday

I signed up for this workshop pretty last minute....I didn't know about this workshop until Thursday of November 10th in CSULA at the end of an AIGA guest speaker's speech. I was pretty enthusiastic about it that night, but then somehow when I got back home from CSULA, I honestly had to think it over. Really think it over, a lot.

It's not about the money (yes, this workshop requires whoever signs up paying for the event). It's about the timing. I have graphic design lesson plan to do (since the previous art teacher left nothing for me to use), graduate coursework (totally behind on that, and I'm not the only one suffering), and illustration project to do over this 3-day weekend (thanks to the Veteran's Day).

I was debating on whether or not I should go and get myself more educated the whole day yesterday. I told myself I really need this break because teaching high school has been really really tiring and I need to get my work done (whatever they are). But then, just last night, an hour before the midnight, I saw the host's response email, and I thought, "Damn, this guy cares about what he does!" And that really struck a cord in me, so I signed up right away and emailed him back on what I was debating for a long long time....


So now I'm sitting in Blanc Space in Santa Monica, extremely close to Sana Monica Mall (more like 20 steps away from it, not kidding!), at the 2nd street.


I can't list out exactly what I do in this workshop, because it's only for the people that paid for the training to know, but I can tell you it's all about increasing work flow ,progress, effective management, and know a new system of designing with a team so that everybody works happy and satisfied with what they do in the team.

This workshop is hosted by Groop Skool in Santa Monica. This is their 3rd workshop so far in this year.
