As usual I stuck with CD art work on the Wednesday which is where the disappointment comes into play. I struggled again all afternoon trying to get started and have something click in my head for a design I was happy with, a little after dinner it hit me, I came up with a design and I liked it, I was very happy but unfortunately a little detail caught me out, I initially thought the image was at 300dpi but after showing Steve it turned out it was actually 300dpi at a certain size, a certain size which was unusable to me as it was too small for the way I wanted to use the image, so I was back on the hunt again for an idea, well I actually stuck with the idea I found but I was hunting for an image to replace the one I had lost. Luckily I did manage to find one and alter it until I was happy with it 2 minutes before home time…phew! Disappointing however I do wish I had created a design much sooner, and the Wednesday was spent creating a booklet but I failed to reach that stage, and in doing so delivered disappointment, but I am hoping now I have a design, the booklet will smoothly follow.
On the other side of the assignment, the Corporate Identity is coming along very nicely, I have finished all of the designs (I believe) and managed to make quite a lot of progress on the website today. I have created all but one of my pages, they are not the finished product but it is progress, with tweaking required. However this progress sent me home happy, and with the opinion that the assignment is coming together now, I can see the finish line but a sprint finish is needed, time passes really quickly and before I know it will be time to hand in. so as I mentioned last week a final push is needed.
While writing this I over heard talk of what the “admin week” that is approaching hold for us, personally I have no idea what so ever what this may be, I had previously thought it would be something not too difficult to finish the year off but apparently this isn’t the case, so its time to play the waiting game/guessing game is it not!?
One last thing before I leave. Below is my CD Design and also my Style Guide website can be found at: www.jlmilsom.co.uk/style_guide click the Style Guide in directory as I havent managed to sort it out yet

Looking good so far but Im sure theres more that can be done with that image. Have you found any other images similar? Maybe you could join a few together? Or add some colour to represent the music?
Glad to see you've caught up though. Well done mate
I've tryed a few things but I want to keep it that simple, Or else is does lose the link to the music. I have been thinkin about a little colour though, but not on the image it's self, possibly just the text.
