Flipbox Studios

Mike had a few exercises for us in the last days of class. I am excited to get home and really dig into this CMS on my own. There is so much to learn. Below is an image of a chunking exercise, which opened our eyes to the process of bringing the design into EE. Very useful!

Mike also organized a group exercise that he used several previous client site maps to create the ExpressionEngine architecture. Not to be confused with Information Architecture. This was a bit confusing for a designer's mind! Below are a couple of pictures of Nick (also a scholarship winner) and I doing some EE Architecture for a church website. This really made us understand all of the work put into the developer's proposal, before knowing if you will even get the job.

Here is a good one of Mike turning on the lightbulb for Nick... the famous "Ah-hah" moment caught on film! Mike Boyink wasn't lying, he really did "bring him the ExpressionEngine lightbulb moment." Although I think I was too focused to catch it myself. 

Finally, I semi-understand what Nate is up to on his coding days!
