In my most recent Computer Science class, our final project was to make a web application using Java, similar to one that has already been created by a company called TaskRabbit.
In case you don't feel like reading the article, the basic gist is this: employers post jobs, and potential employees make bids on the jobs. Employers select the best fit for them, and then the site facilitates the completion of the job.
My group and I decided to name our project Job Monkey, which was one of the more creative titles, if I do say so myself. We divided the assignment into three parts - design of the employer side for one of my teammates, design of the runner side for the other, and design of the administrative component for me.
Since designing GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces, or windows with buttons and text fields and the like)is fairly simple using our design program, I took a few minutes to whip us out some graphics for our main page.
They are by no means the most amazing graphics ever created, but I am pretty proud of them for a few reasons:
1) I finished all three of them within about two hours.
2) I used no stock art, reference images, or ideas outside of my own mind.
3) We were the only group with any graphics at all.
First I created the site logo:
And then the icons for each individual side of the site:
It rekindled my love of graphics, and of photoshop, and was, overall, delightful.
Also, monkeys are cute.
