End of Year Website

On a Wednesday morning, we have time to work on our end of year website. This website is a portfolio for the work we have completed inside and outside of College to show how much we have grown in the course.
I have finished all my pages and Today, Neil came round to me to give me a hand with converting it from Photoshop to Flash so I can display it at the end of the year.
I hope to have something that's visually pleasing and interactive.
So far I have completed the Home page and made a start on the About page, hopefully I can finish it off next week!

Brighton Trip

The Wednesday after half term Rob had arranged for us to go down to Brighton to do some research for our FMP.
Prior to the trip I had looked into reliant music stores and musical equipment stores that I could visit and try and get a hold of information regarding music.
It was nice to go somewhere new as all our previous trips were to London!
On my way to the big music store that I wanted to visit, I came across a handful of alternative stores such as Independent stores and a Vans store. I went inside and had a look around to get a general feel to the alternative fashion.
I managed to pick up some free flyers to look at as well as some advice from the members of staff on their opinion on alternative music and how it ties in with their clothes.
I finally managed to get to GAK, so i went inside and had a look, I tried a guitar out and had a convocation with the man serving me, he himself was into his alternative music so gave me some great advice.

FMP

We recently started our Final Major Project.
For this we had to write our own briefs so I decided to re design the Ad campaign for a band called Sincerity. I will be designing them a new logo, website, poster, merchandise, promotional photos and facebook banner.
I want to use this opportunity to broaden my skills in design. I want to be using different mediums that I don't usually use to create my work, something I have wanted to use is a brush pen. so I intend to buy myself a brush pen and teach myself how to use it, and then use this skill to design my own logo with it.
It will also be a good time to read new books and look into work that I have always admired and find out the artist who created them and looking into them.
This will also be a good time to use the skills I already have and strengthen them.
I'm looking forward to being independent with this project as it will test my ability and I'm looking forward to be able to look into my chosen subject and finding more out about it.
