Less Haste, More Speed

I sat down on Monday at 9.15am and proceeded to do a full days work. Things were going okay but time went by very quickly and by the end of the day I didn't seem to get a great deal done.

On Tuesday I decided to catch up and and I have to say 'what a difference a day makes'. I managed to do all the things I planned on Monday but much easier.

Ive been working on my design for the first assignment and was quite happy with it until going to college on Wednesday where I got some feedback on the layout from my classmates. The basic comments were very good and I think I gave others a few ideas from my work which was uplifting.

The plan is coming together and other than a fine tuning on what is a graphics heavy website, I feel I need to streamline it a bit more to make it quicker to download.

After designing the bulk of it from my drawings in Photoshop I was told that the final design was to be in Pagemaker which has put a bit more work into my schedule but have got to know Pagemaker a whole lot better in the process and it's limitations.

I also feel looking around at others that I have a nice compact website in comparison with some and have been designing it with a view as to what is achievable in Dreamweaver with the knowledge I have of the programme.

All in all a good days work was done today as the font I had used would not install in the college computers so I cracked on with my assignment layout and made a start on the design in pagemaker to finish off at home.

A learning curve is developing.
