Parker Busswood on Teams & Analytics @ East Side Games Internship

I’m now two-thirds of the way through my internship with East Side Games, and I’m really excited with the progress I’ve been making on my projects. Over the last two weeks, I have been working primarily with the analytics team to develop their new analytics dashboard. This project has given me an awesome opportunity to combine my skills in information architecture, visual design, and front-end development to build a site that will be invaluable to the company’s 40+ employees.

The company is broken down into a number of teams, with each team typically operating on one-week sprints, where each team member has their own assigned tasks that they focus on during that time. The company expects a lot from its employees, but they’ve managed to create a fantastic culture in the workplace that is unlike anything you would expect to see in a more traditional game studio. I’ve had more flexibility in how I schedule my tasks as I am self-directing much of the work I’m doing, but I’ve (more…)

Responsive Website Design: 1 of 4

responsive design title

In Visual Design class this term, students studied approaches to “Responsive Design” – websites that respond to the device on which they are viewed.

The corresponding assignment challenged students to design a Responsive Website for an event. There were several terrific designs, only a few of which will be posted here. This is the first of 4.

Ryota Matsumoto: FE Development Intern @ FCV Technologies

I’m 5 weeks into my internship, but things at FCV have never slowed down (and I love it, of course!). And in that  last 5 weeks I’ve starting to know the culture and people at FCV better.

I’m part of the User Interface Team (name pending), and am now also working on two different projects at the same time. I can’t say what the projects are due to NDA, but both of them are launching soon and will be awesome websites!

A word about teams. Both of my new projects are managed by same project manager, David, who recently got hired by FCV.  He is always on top of things, checks up on all team member to keep the client up to date with where they are in development. Also we have daily / bi-daily huddles and (more…)
