It's All About Accuracy!

Enjoyed the session today, I found out a bit more on which direction the assignment needs to go.

The main task today was design and redesign. We were given a pre-made template of a layout and had to come up with a different design using the same 4 elements. The header, the title, the text and the picture.

The morning had been mainly a brief tutorial on using Adobe Pagemaker which I have never used before but it had the distinct smell and flavour of an old favourite of mine QuarkXpress which helped me immensely.

I found that it is very difficult to specify a layout on paper using very accurate measurements like millimetres but after a little playing around found a way to represent it more accurately from paper to screen.

I didn't have my work commented on, maybe it was a subconcious thing on my part but feel I did a good job on one of the designs and knew what I had done wrong on the second design (text too big).

I Will put my designs on my blog as soon as Ive figured out how to do this.
Another task to add to my never ending task list.

On a separate subject I have made the decision to move from pencil to pen in my sketchblog, I look like the only one using pencil. I can see the reason why as our mistakes are there to be seen so I will adhere.
