Habitat for HUmanity

(this post is late because blogger wasn't working for me for some reason. Sorry)

So, this Thursday, I basically just did more of the tasks I've been doing so far. I kept working on the design for the Youth United web page. I spent some more time n the invites to the house dedication. I spent a short amount of time cutting wood for the porch of the house. I entered some volunteer information into the computer.

One of my new tasks was to make a scrapbook for the family Youth United is building a house for. The scrapbook is basically a collection of pictures documenting the progress of the build as it occurs. During the house dedication ceremony, it is given to the partner family along with several items. My minimal experience with photoshop meant it took a while to get use to what I was doing. Even once I knew how to use the technology, some design issues swamped me. For instance, the templates made for the scrapbook always seemed to be tilted at an angle that did not complement the square photos well. Having to pick construction was nowhere near done (YU has faced five weeks of delays due to weather). For that same reason, I didn't finish the scrapbook, though I got a good start.
