Well, with only five weeks until the end of the year and four to the deadline for two more assignments it seems I am ahead of schedule for once. I’m looking forward to the reverse design process as the work up to this point has been enjoyable.
I have only one more week to produce these ideas but I think I should have more than enough to help me design for the mystery item. When taking these ideas into PhotoShop/Illustrator I will be able to apply some of the skills I have learnt on previous assignments and really go to town on the final stages.
Something I am struggling to get my head around is WordPress but, as stated many times through-out this blog, it’s something that is improving all the time. It really does take the strain out of creating x amount of templates and having a good grasp of PHP has helped it recognising some of the functions.
I am going to delve more into WordPress but at the moment I am just going to stick to the basics and get the site out of the way. If there is enough time when the site is complete I will investigate the other avenues of WordPress and try to get some ideas down for how I might like to create my online portfolio. I have learnt a lot of new skills/technologies on this course so I would naturally want to create a site that showcases them.
Everyone seems to know what they are doing and it shows in class at the moment – the quietness is quite deafening. I also notice that the time we have left at college is expiring at an alarming rate and that what little time is left should be used to my advantage, however that might be.
