Back to college evaluation

The week back has been a busy one. Screen designs have been on my mind for this assignment for a while. I had a really good idea but couldn't manage to project my views on a digitalised piece. My first attempt was rather poor, due to the image I had in my head was not found at all. I decided to take another approach and found several images that would be useful.

One thing that I am trying to do is to use another style rather than the usual bold image header, horizontal navigation and the Trebuchet font. Breaking away from this theme was harder than it sounded. I have now come up with an idea almost complete but I am feeling agitated towards building it as it is totally different to any other design that I have created.

One thing I would do next time is to search for more pieces that could be useful, rather than grabbing a select few and playing around with them. This method cost me time as I couldn't get the image across how I wanted it.

I am now feeling a little behind schedule as most people have started their building, and I have yet to complete my final screen design. To solve this I am going to have to make sure I catch up during self study time. This shouldn't be a problem, although the amount of work I have to do for the other assignment could get in the way. I.e. meetings with client, photographs of the shop, etc.
