Thirty Seconds Is Obviously Too Long...

...Was something I was expecting Steve to say after todays timed thumbnails. Drawing thumbnail after thumbnail against the clock was certainly eye opening this morning. Getting all those ideas down in the time limit was challenging but I managed to keep up. Although I did keep up, I thought that the ideas I were getting down were not the best of quality. I think exercises like this do help you improve becuase when I get to the work place exmployers will expect us to be creative on demand. If they say jump you will answer 'how high?'.

I have enjoyed the banner design task and I find it quite relaxing to do in the run up to deadline week. I feel it gives a much needed breather. It's all good practice and it's another one of those things that make Steve smile when we're all trying to find out what the day will have in store.

In Back to Basics I feel massively behind in the project for some reason. I know for a fact that I'm in front of some people and I'm putting the work in at home - but I can't seem to shake the feeling. It's maybe due to not having everything in PageMaker yet. Well I have, but not fully referenced. This is something I'm going to get done over the weekend along with my screen designs and image sourcing and photo restoration and... The list goes on. Hopefully I will get on top of it this week. Next time I think I'm going to plan my project so that I do alot more work to do in the first weeks so I'm not "towin mi bag art".

In the feedback groups I was told by Steve that I would have to start my restoration project again. I was a bit disapointed but I could see the errors of my ways and I believe the second go will be a lot quicker than the first attempt. Hopefully if I get my banners out of the way it will give me more time to get the photo done.
