All the roads have come to an end...

I have compiled all the work, placed it onto a disc and into the pigeon hole . For the cover of the disc I found that if I cropped down the front of my publication, it actually made a great and very appropriate image to use. I even felt that the text that fitted into the cropped version was very fitting to my initial impression of the subject. It was all a little daunting in the very beginning and for some students such as myself, this really was a journey into the unknown. However, I am extremely pleased with all that I have achieved throughout this semester, the skills I have gained have already been a huge benefit to me as I have been able to use them in the school where I am currently on placement.
Thanks for all your help Stuart!

Almost there...

It has taken a while but my webpage is finally took shape this week and all that’s left to do now is cross the t’s and dot the i’s. Like most other programs I have worked with this year on the Mac, I found that once you spend a little time exploring and trailing different things everything begins to fall into place. Working out how to properly insert the photos was the biggest challenge and I must admit it was more than a little frustrating, however it was ultimately achieved and definitely worth the effort. I will now gather my resume and publication and place them all on a disc along with my website and I am almost done. I still have to design a cover for the case which I will make time to do during the week, I am thinking I will use an image that I originally intended to use for my publication but couldn’t because when cropped it was far too small.
I will let you know how it all goes.

Mission accomplished and ready to proceed to next assignment…

I have finally completed my digital publication and I am delighted with the result. In design is defiantly a program that could drive a perfectionist crazy. Not that I am obsessed with every minor detail but I did find myself believing I was finished until I spotted a detail, no matter how small, that could be improved or altered somehow. For the sake of good work this is a great problem to have, it seems that with the assistance of other programs such as Photoshop and Corel Painter the boundaries of what can be achieved on a Mac are almost limitless.

Over the past week I have also taken photos of my artwork that I will now include in my website. I am still somewhat confused about the size of images but hopefully that will begin to make more sense as I explore the program further by actively working the images into the website.

Over the next week I will begin to do that and also type up the information/text that will feature on the webpage.
