The Time Plan Massacre

Time plans done…time plans immediately changed, Wednesday morning and the request of a complete digital screen design, for our Style Guides completely knocked my time planning out of the water, I wasn’t planning for a finish design plan until today, in my feedback session I was planning on showing rough/neat ideas but after an all mighty push I completed it a day earlier and met the deadline set for it. When this request was first given I instantly knew that I would have a lot of work to do for the day/night to have it complete, and I wasn’t looking forwards to it, but in actual fact it helped me so much. As it rocketed me forward into the first steps of creating the style guide, and also left me with a free day, to complete what I needed to catch up on, or what I wanted to get ahead of plans on. Although it did take a lot of effort to get it finished for 9 this morning I was fine in accepting a little pressure, to give me a boost and get stuck into something and get it done.

Because of this it left me with today to finalise, or so I though…to almost finalise my logo, as I up until today hadn’t created and digital versions of logos due to work problems halting my college work, but today I caught up and created some ideas, and after time spent playing around with ideas I feel I am now on the step to finalising an idea. I maybe need a little more thought to colour however, but I can tie this in with my website build as I feel I need to play with colour a little more with that, so plenty to get crack on with over the holidays.

Speaking of the work for the holidays, I have a fair bit to get complete, such as A5 – Builder amendments, possibly A6 – Revert to Type? And also work for this assignment and my Sketch books wouldn’t be damaged by a little time spent with it. All in all there’s plenty to do, but I am determined to work, I haven’t quite decided on a work timetable yet, but I do plan to work, not just in the last week of the holidays but to spend time working through out the whole three weeks. The more work I can get done, then the easier finish to the assignment I could have, and this is something I would enjoy.

Finally I hope you all have a great holiday, and I’m sure ill speak to some of you during it, don’t forget to work! Jamie

I do like your logo Jamie, it has quite a classy feel to it, but still looks like a record label's logo.

I still think those sound waves need tweaking a bit more, but I'm guessing that's something you're already working on in your logo development.

Website is looks good too, just nice, clean and simple. All you need for this assignment really, in fact it almost requires it.

I am still working with the logo, but I have no problems with sticking to that if needs be. But I understand what you mean, and I was looking for that appeal with the website, not saying that the website Isn't important but I just want one that works, and is easy for me to build and hols what I need it too. Because It's no secret there is a fair bit of work still to be done. Cheers for the comments, much appreciated.

I agree with Craig about your website, it has as a real simple and clean look to it which not only makes the site easier to build but will also make locating information much easier for the end user. I think you are right about working over our break as well because there is a lot to be done and when we return we will only have 3 weeks!
