Welcome to Testing 123 Studios, created by me, Shannon (also known as pencilmonkey). I am currently a high school student at South Burlington High School attending the CAWD program at the Center of Technology in Essex, Vermont.
Testing 123 Studios is a collective site where I can present my work and my web design services. Future projects include comics, lengthier stories, and possibly an animated series.
I enjoy playing videogames, reading epic poetry, drawing, writing, knitting and crochet. I have always been a huge Nintendo fan and a dedicated follower of the Zelda series since the debut of Ocarina of Time. I can't stand RPGs, but I have a weak spot for the Pokemon games. I also play a lot of Super Smash Bros. (any of the three games, but mostly Brawl recently), and currently am playing at my best with either Meta Knight, King Dedede, or Pikachu.
My web development skills set include valid coding in XHTML and CSS, limited experience in PHP, and basic Flash animation. I have also learned how to model, texture and animate anything from boxes to full-fledged characters in 3D Studio Max 2008. Additionally, I have experience in Adobe Premier for both film editing and for putting together animations exported from 3DS Max.
Last year I competed with another student in CAWD in the state level of SkillsUSA for Web Design and received a bronze medal. This year I hope to either return to SkillsUSA for Pin Design, Web Design, or Quiz Bowl. I have also been certified at the Associate level by the World Organization of Web Masters (WOW).
Last year, I received the honor of joining both the National Technical Honor Society at CTE and the National Honors Society at South Burlington High School. Alongside my regular high school classes, I have taken college courses both at CCV and ones that were integrated into my tech program. As a result, I have acquired over 15 college credits while still in my junior and senior year of high school.
After high school, I plan on going to college for an art major and a business minor. My hope is to become an independent web designer and to start my own small business, while still having lots of creative freedom and the ability to have my own projects on the side.
Well, that's about it. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments. Enjoy exploring the site!
