The last few weeks have been very enjoyable and I feel very pleased with the progress I have made on the assignments. I’m quite surprised how much I’m enjoying the Culture Vulture assignment as on previous assignment I’ve always found the ideas generation stage the hardest. Before the assignment, the thought of two weeks trying to fill a blank page was quite daunting and I wouldn’t have thought I’d be enjoying the process.
The music in college really does help with my ideas generation; it seems to put me in a good mood and helps to clear my head a bit. I might have to spend sometime this week thinking of a few songs to help me out during the college day.
I’m pleased with some of the designs I’ve done so far, but I feel I need to produce a fare few more patterned designs to make sure I have a good choice for the product. Also none of my designs seem to ring out or look as though they will work for any product, hopefully this week I can get one that does.
The CMS (Content Management System) project has taken me a bit of time to get my head round, with the number of different templates needed for the website. I can now see the advantages of it, especially on larger websites and although I’m still learning about them, I feel quite happy with using one.
I don’t feel like I’m too far from completing the CMS website, I’ve still got quite a lot of tweaking to do, but you can see the basic layout’s done. I think the tweaking might take longer than I want, but I’d rather get it working spot on, than have a few bugs on it.
