Final thoughts
Overall I am happy with my website design and think I have succeeded it creating a good website. I really struggled last year when first using dreamweaver but this year with the help of good teaching and helpful booklets I have learnt a lot more, and dare I say sort of enjoyed it. Shocking ! I found when things go well you get a good feeling of achievement. I have learnt new skill including how to use jQuery and how it can benefit my websites. I tried to incorporate my design skills into the website instead of only concentrating on the technical side and I think this will be useful when designing my portfolio website.
Finally got my Lightbox working
After a lot of hard work and a little help I managed to get my gallery lightbox working. I wasn’t going to include one but in the end I thought I would give it ago.
Final website and boards.
I have completed my website, they only thing now is to maybe add a lightbox on my gallery page. I have know idea how to do this though. The boards are also done but might need tweaking if I add the lightbox.
Ideas foundation.
Today we visited the school and the kids we will be mentoring, next week though the kids will be coming to Salford. Each mentor was given a group of 4/5 and we got to know them and see how they are getting on with the brief. My group of girls weren’t really interested in graphics (they like dance) so I think it will be a challenge trying to get them to come up with ideas, hopefully I will be able to help them understand how the design process works. I am looking forward to next week when the brief starts and we are in the studios.

I have attached a example of the presentation board I showed in lesson, there are also scribbles on the board to notify of mistakes to look out for so that you don’t do this when handing in. All the notes you made in lesson should cover what you need to know, anybody that missed the lesson can use…

Gemma Correll
A few weeks ago an illustrator called Gemma Correll came in to talk to us. She was described as a “self promotion machine” and I can see why. Correll has created blogs, shops, websites and attended a variety of events to get her work out there. She has sold her illustrations all over the world.
You can see she works hard to get her work noticed and I found it very inspirational. Correll also gave a tip that you should never work for free and that you should always get credit for the work you do.
Here are a few of her illustrations…
