Tuesday 23rd February

Today we continued with our symbols and logo work. Our second task was to use colour and text to create a good design for a perfume box, i was a bit confused with how it should look and what it should have on it so Malcolm explained it to me and i find it easier to understand. After that talk i started choosing the right typeface that i thought best suited the name. i then choose the right colour and drew them up with marker pens in my layout pad. I liked the look of the text but i think it will look better adding patteren, different shapes and size, so i now need to do some research on things related to the names im using to help me create better designs.

Today i completed my magazine layout in In Design, i find it very easy to use. I thought it was very good to use for layouts as you can use rulers to create outline on where things go. i am very happy that i have learnet alot of new skills today.

Wednesday 3rd February

Wednesday afternoon we had a lesson with Oli and he showed us how to create a double page spread in In Design for our magazine layout from the last module. He went though step by step how to create two facing pages,he showed us how to use the rulers and how to text wrap an image into the text. We then looked on a web site were we can use a latin text called Lorem Ipsum to fill our text boxes for our layout. I find this lesson really intersting as i've only used In Design once before so i learnet alot of things i dont know i could do on there.

Tuesday 2nd February

Today we continued with our work for the workshops, to be presented for next Tuesday. We all worked around the table doing marker work or on the Macs creating new designs. We also had one to ones getting feedback one our first module of work. I was happy with my feedback as i didn't get a very good grade percentage. I was disappointed with my final grade but didn't except it to be any higher as i had a few problems in the first semester. I now know i need to do a lot more work and research to supported my designs, i achive a better grade.
