Now that's Nice..

Great week this week, both days consisted of designing for me, which made both days fly by with ease. Wednesday, the Back to Basic assignment day, I was designing templates for the final look of my website. Although I didn’t finish these, I now have a greater idea of what I want my final website appearance to look like. A must find this week for self study is content images! Internal, software and external are all needed, so feel free to drop me links to help me out!

Unfortunately Thursday had a down side; my image restoration project has to be started again, due to feedback received in the meeting. Being told to start from scratch again after I know how long it took me to get to that stage, wasn’t such a good thing to hear but what one must do he must do, so I best get cracking on with that to once again reach the stage that I had previously reached.

But of course it’s not that simple, having to get A3 ready to submission standard and complete the image restoration again is a tough feat, but on top of that I now have to create 2 Jazz banners. One has to be a tall skyscraper banner and the other a rectangular shaped banner (I have created some ideas for these and uploaded them so please leave feedback and let me know what you think). But know the pressures of deadline day are upon us yet again, twice over or you could see it as 3 times over including A1 SketchBlog, Ohhh my! And the banners aren’t as easy as you would think either, they do take quite a lot of time, and a fair bit of tweaking to please myself and more importantly the Assessor!


I really need to knuckle down this self study week and get my work to that submission standard week; it would really help me out if I achieved this as I could gain as much feedback as possible, this in turn easing the pressures of deadline week when fears and nerves set in, no slacking!

Text looks smaller in that bottom paragraph.

Some of the greys you've used may be a bit too grey, but otherwise nice job.

I love the simplicity, but on some of that vertical text I think you should reconsider whether it should be vertical or not.

Yeah I wasn't to sure on what to do with that to be honest. I wanted to keep the black and white, but all of the text white just didn't work, nothing stood out from each other. And enlarging font's didn't work either. With the vertical It's just from some banners that I have seen and noticed that they use vertical text to enhance the length, valid comment though, thanks
