A Flash From The Past

Looking back at the last few weeks of the course and being over a quarter through the first year. I think I have achieved a good understanding of the Units we have covered in the assignments and learned from previous mistakes to implement in the assignment I have just handed in for submission.

The Christmas holidays were a hard experience for me as it’s always a busy period and I wanted to make sure that I had accomplished a major majority of the work load so I had minor tasks to do and adjust any mistakes when we began college again in January.

The assignment screenshot of the proposed webpage took me a few attempts to get exactly how I wanted it because of the measurements and the fact I have not used Adobe InDesign that much apart from the A4 mini tasks.

The mini tasks themselves where enjoyable in ways but somewhere difficult in others because of the scales of the designs and how they looked on screen to actually being printed out. The most enjoyable task was the Hokai paint tube re-design, because it was on a small scale and had to have technical aspects that needed to be shown on the scaled design and needed time and attention to realise where and what was going to be shown.

The feelings all rushed back before and after handing the assignment in of doubt and feeling that I have forgot something or forgot to do something. Also knowing that other members of the class where in the same situation made me feel better but it always was daunting in the back of my mind.

To summarise the last few weeks working up to today it has been a more enjoyable and fast paced rate than when we first began the course, making me work and think faster for the time given for some tasks which was a fun process.
