Mps requirements specification /slideshow/mps-requirements-specification/13720508 mpsrequirementsspecification-120722171727-phpapp02
I wrote this requirements specification and functional design for my capstone project at Kaplan University. The subject was a new website for Masterpiece Studio—a portrait studio that my husband and I own. For this project, I experimented with the concept of creating a rhetorical strategy as the basis for the requirements and design of a multi-media communication act (the website). I am very excited about the effectiveness of this method. This requirements specification for the Masterpiece Studio website includes business and detailed requirements as well as use cases.]]>

Grant proposal /slideshow/grant-proposal-13720504/13720504 grantproposal-120722171711-phpapp01
I created this grant proposal as the final project for my Proposal & Grant Writing class. It is written for a real RFP (request for proposal) but is written on behalf of a fictitious church seeking funding for installing an elevator to improve accessibility for its aging members. I designed the church logo and stationery, incorporating the stock dove image. The photographs I acquired from public domain sources. The extensive research for this project is documented in the annotated bibliography.]]>
