Two weeks in...

to the second half of the term and things are moving along a bit. We have now started on Flash and 3ds max, both programs are ones that I want to master but....... 3ds Max is HARD! I honestly thought I would get to grips with this program as I can think in 3d space, however I am struggling, but mainly form a design point of view. An here lies my problem that I feel is going to be my downfall as a web designer. I have the ideas I just dont have the skill or talent to put it into practice. But I suppose that is where a graphic designer would come into play. My frustrations were high on Wednesday when I just could not remember how things worked or how to achieve something that we had been practicing the day before. Retention of instruction...ggrrrrrr

BUT I have to just keep practicing and start small, I think on this awesome program.

So onto flash, another program that I really want to get my teeth into but I feel my drawing skills will let m,e down. I have to say that I am eager to get the assignment brief on this module so that I can see if any idea that I have rolling around in my head at the moment will be relevant.

Also this term we have started on HTML and web pages using dreamweaver. We have been given our assignment on that one and I feel that I may have to go talk to a certain gym owner to see if we can barter something out about doing his website. Mainly as that is what we are required to do, to listen to a client brief and see what we can come up with. I have other sites of my own that I also plan to work on one of those being the Liskeard Netball Website. It majorly needs an overhaul and updating as I have not touched it since I left the club last year.

A gentle start to the term and I am glad to have a reason to get out of bed. However have now developed a liking for cream cheese and bacon bagels thanks to the student union LOL!
