Everythinggggg So Far

hate third year

context 3 I hate, i'm not creative, my images aren't great but hope my rationale to back them up is goooood.

research project is good, question on how have local businesses reacted to opportunities of digital media. I've had a few interviews with a few businesses which has helped my research to get a good insight into it. the few books i've read have helped me understand and good few quotes to reference. my lit review is done, so is intro, half of abstract, background to research and now onto discussion which is the big part & taking foreverrrr to write up

client project, keep changing my ideas and layout and looks nothing like I first intially thought it would when doing the presentation for it.

Context 3 Images

Dead end with this assignment, did shit on context 3 start up factory which i'm gutted about as I thought I did pretty well. Obviously not. had 3 images in mind but don't think they work well for who I am? what am I trying to represent, me as a person, my passion for web, my skills, my work.

Had a look at examples on the now and it seems that they try to get their personalisty across in the assignment as well as skills, knowledge etc. Going to try and get my 5 images done by Monday so I can then start writing the rationale for them, my choice for them and backing them up so Jools is aware of my reasons for them.

brb just gonna commit.

ATRG

Finally have the structure to the site, scrolling code finally works.

Going to ATRG to take some photos and find some more stuff out about them as a research group on weds. Now I have the structure, i'm struggling with content, what pages should I have, what goes where.

Doing the second brief so need to keep in mind; what are they doing at the moment, the facilities and staff expertise.

Think i'm going with this logooooo and then every page will have it on as well as the tag line "creating the clothes for tomorrow"

Feedback Client Presentation

Areas of strength:
Very well thought out presentation delivered at speed! Slow down in future….
You have analysed the requirements of the website very well through a thorough analysis of the brief.
Good analysis of audience.
Mood board and colour-palettes showed an engagement with the design process.
Logo analysis good. Tag Lines shows a good deal of engagement with client requirements.
Good exploratory wire frames and site navigation design.
Excellent time-management plan.
Overall a good piece of work. Well done.

Areas to improve
Maybe more experimentation and exploration of possible scrolling pages.
However this is a strong start. Keep up the good work!

Been creating images for context 3 today. Finding this assignment hard as I'm not creative and have no drawing skills. Have a few ideas with what could work well for the brief though, a few images I have sketched today:
