Meeting

Unfortunately, I had to miss the trip to Borough Market. But the reason I had to miss it more than makes up for it!
I had my final meeting with the CMN guys, who I have been commissioned with 2 other close friends to design their website and code it. I have spent my entire summer designing and working with my friends to re create their website which can be found here:

As you can see its really dated and busy. The one main feature that we had to include on the website was the adverts, working around these was very hard as they're hideously designed, lots of ugly colours and also they're big and everywhere!

But the meeting lasted for 3 hours and everything was successfully finished. I have learnt so much thought this experience, including how to behave in a business meeting situation, client communication, graphic skills when trying to create something I have not created before and working to a deadline.

Tonight Im having a meeting with my next client to design a website for a jewellery company, again, a product I have no experience in designing, but hope to use my skills and place them into this and gain more experience and learn new things.

HTML


Today I discovered a number of things about web design. 
HTML is short for Hypertext Markup Language and I discovered how to create and edit basic HTML and CSS, such as Type colour, size and placement, adding images and links.

<h1> = Header.
<p> = Paragraph.
<imgsrc="Image source" /> = Insert and Image.

Uni Research

Looking at Unis and courses has made the desition even harder on what I want to do when the course has finished #headache

Aspirations

Today we started to think and work out where we want to be this time next year. Wether it was Uni, College HND, Full time work, Apprenticeship or a Gap year.
I know I would like to get into Image Manipulation, so my task today is to find out what courses are out there that specialise in this specific subject.
