i have now got fully into creating my final webpage. i decided on using 350.com as it had alot of good examples, and unlike any other website creator you did not have to pay to use it, so i thought this would be a good site to make my webpage. I decided i would make 6 pages for my website, home page, information page, courses page, thoughts page, gallery page and then finally a contact us page. I came across my first problem when designing my website, i had originally decided on a blue background, but was unable to use a blue background, as i was having to use one of 350's templates, so i had to change that, and have a dark background with blue writing. i am really looking forward to starting my design as i feel it gives me a chance to express my creative side, and show my client that a webpage is the best way to get the information of the sixth form across to year 11 students

Today i have nearly finished the final product to my poster, it has took a lot longer then i expected, i had a few problems with my background as i couldn't decide on how i wanted it to look.I had to change alot from my original idea, as some of my ideas i was unable to do, at first i wanted a blue background behind my poster, but for some odd reason i was unable to do that, so i decided that i would have a brick background, but then had a problem that when i was taking the picture ben walked out the common room, having looked at the photo it actually looked really good from the poster, so i decided to keep it and have all my information and pictures around it, another problem occurred when putting text onto my poser, as it was hard to find a colour that stood out with the brick background, this was only a short delay though, i then placed my pictures in the right positions on the poster and finally had finished my poster.

Friday 5th June

At the end of the week i have finished the final draft for my poster, which i had a few problems with as i had to make alot of changes to it, my idea at the start of the project had near enough vanished and i had a completely new idea, as i felt the colour scheme at the start of my project was not very well thought out so decided to change it. My radio advert has been given alot of thought as i have never done one before, i had a few good ideas, using a catchy soundtrack, and enthusiastic students doing the voiceovers. My final draft sounded good, and i feel the final product will be much better. I have also finished the final draft from my webpage, i cant wait to crack on with this product as i have alot of quality color ideas, and designs for how i am going to finish my final design and make it even more creative and eye catching.

Monday 1st June

Today i finished all of my rough drafts and set up a meeting with my client to discuss what i had designed. I set out a few questions in which i would like him to answer so i could have a better idea of what i need to improve and what is working well. After discussing my products he really liked the idea of my webpage but did recommend i be a little more creative, for my poster he liked the catchy slogan and said to work around that with bigger images and fonts, after hearing all this i decided to work on my final drafts.

Wednesday 29th April

Today, i finished my rough draft for my poster, i stuck it in to my portfolio and annotated around it to give myself more information about what the poster will look like, it goes along with my meetings from the client so hopefully it is what my client is looking for. I then started on the rough draft for my website, i got told to be a bit more creative by my client so i cam up with a very good creative idea, which i am pretty confident he will like, i have nearly finished that and i will then stick that into my portfolio and annotate around that as well.

Friday 24th April

In todays lesson i started my draft for m poster, i didn't have to be too neat as it was only a draft to give an idea of the finalized project, i finished the layout and a few of the text images on the poster, i had already made a rough draft but did not like it very much so it was good to start a new one over again. I will now crack on with the draft and have it finished by the next lesson so i can annotate it in my portfolio and come up with a final idea :)

Wednesday 22nd April

Today i had another meeting with my client to discuss a few more ideas for posters, webpage and a leaflet, i showed my client a few rough drafts for a poster and he seemed to like to layout and was impressed with the idea, but he did say that there should be more colour and less writing so it will attract the audience more. My webpage idea proved well an all as he like the colour scheme and the idea itself, but said i should try and be more creative with my idea of a webpage and not make it too basic. After my meeting i then went back to lesson and wrote down my notes from the meeting and cracked on with amending my ideas.
