Feels Finished

Anne managed to help with my website by finding a different transition without any glitches; it's a simple fade but I think it works beautifully and I'm very grateful.

I've attached my final creative CV to my 'About Me' page and I've updated my showreel on Vimeo and Youtube.

I've sent off my business cards to be printed, though I am concerned that the logo on the front of the business card is going to appear blurred which is a real shame. Unfortunately I had this problem very early in the module with InDesign. For some reason my crystal clear and very lage PNG images seems to export blurry. I only realised after I'd sent them off as the PDF must have been zoomed out when I checked them over.

I know how to solve it now, which is to bring in the raw Illustrator file straight into InDesign... but it's a bit late now. I can only see how they'll turn out. It might not be as bad as I'm expecting.

I feel I've finished everything required for this module and to a good standard; I care about how I am represented and hope that I gain interest for employment opportunities through my quite thorough development of my brand.

Improved Showreel

I've made some changes to my showreel to include newer material and to eliminate 3D animation that I didn't want to be included.

I asked a tutor about it and we both feel that this is now my finished showreel. Also, going on the advice of others about the business card that looked like a wedding organiser's, I decided to change my name plates for the showreel to reflect my business card design instead. I think this is a definite improvement.

Website Development

With the help of my tutor we've been able to add a transition to my website pages where everything slides down to reveal the content. I'm really happy with the appearance of this; it adds more of a professional feel. Unfortunately we've been having a few glitches with this where the page shows as normal, then flashes white and continues through the transition. Therefore we'll have to revisit this issue and alter it somehow.

I have change the social icons which is something I've wanted to do for a while to keep it consistent with all of my other branded materials.

And I've finally attached my own domain to the website!

I really like the icons as they're small but still catch the eye; they also rollover to grey which I think is a nice touch.

Business Card

I've had quite a large break from distribution methods to concentrate on my other modules and I've also had some personal family problems during Easter which has further delayed things.

I've decided on a design with Anne; I believe it is the most clear and uniformed with my website.

For the back I want a selection of my work and various projects to showcase my abilities.

I shall be printing them with Moo very soon.
