Printed Portfolio

The feedback I've had on my portfolio has helped decide what i should be really putting in my portfolio. The tutorial with Chris and Alex specifically helped me in the altering and improvement of my portfolio.

The main concern was that my Lloyds brief didn't quite work as well as it could do and the images of the posters were working but the tag line and mailshot weren't working along side them too well, so because of this I've decided it would be best not to have this brief in my portfolio. Another concern they had was nets i had on the bakery brief which weren't needed.

Work Placement

I really enjoyed my work experience it was something a bit different to the course. The first day was a bit slow with me and Jess waiting until half 4 before we finally got briefed but after a boring first day the rest of the week was a bit more enjoyable with us producing and developing ideas for cartridge world which we ended up producing the various ideas we had all come up with, i would have liked have seen the brief till the end or at least seen which idea the client went along with which was the Tuesday after we finished there.

I think its helped quite a bit in terms of working more as a team than an individual and its also shown me the attitude they have to the work and the way they work.

Site Readjustment

I began thinking that the site needed to be simplified and i felt the work was too small to be viewed properly so i decided to adjust the design.

Website Dev

I wasn't happy with the look of my website so i began improve on it and expanding it more. I managed to adjust the site so that it was a bit more central which was initially how i wanted the site to be. Next i began to design it, using a template, so it could be used on a iphone and other mobiles.

Domain name and web site design

I have managed to buy www.karlcdesign.com and finished the design of my website. I think that the simple site works well and i think its clear enough for the work i'm showing on it and people to contact me. Do the website has taught me a lot about Dreamweaver and how it works, but i don't think i will be doing many websites in the future except for maybe the design.

Design Strategies 2

I feel the presentation helped make me find out what skills are still lacking and i feel its made them clearer to me than they were before, because during the last module i didn't do much time management and feel i luckily managed to get it all on time but feel i need to manage it to improve the amount of work i can produce and the efficiency.

Business card Design

I feel that i have settled on this design for my business card, but not sure whether or not i really need to have it die cut but feel it'll help it stand out more. I wanted it portrait so its a bit different.

Business card Dev

I've picked some ideas now i am trying to see what works and what doesn't. I think i am over complicating my designs a little bit and i think i should only put what necessary.

Redesign

The feedback gained about my business card has shown that its not the right style and i feel i need to go back and draw up some ideas so i looks better.
