Too many other commitments







Too many other commitments this week such as Easter egg hunts and socialising events have hindered my progress. Normally the only time I can start on my coursework is at 9pm, unfortunately at this time I usually have a short attention span and being on computers all day means I am very tired. Hopefully by booking two days leave off work next week will allow me time to concentrate on with my final project.



I have found creating a personal website is very difficult. I defiantly am the worst client I have dealt with; I pick faults with everything because I know I can do better. Over the past few weeks, I have been researching and developing screen designs. Now on the 8th version of my personal website, I think I have done it. Initially, I focussed on a photograph portrait but due to comments realised the opportunities an illustrated self portrait could offer, creating a visual example of my illustration skills while ensuring a friendly, professional and aesthetically pleasing design.



The final, final design, keeps to the one layout, utilising large links this should aid usability while the one image will ensure that artwork examples are the focal point of the webpage.



The main target for the next few days is to get a simple portfolio website done. Recently, I have been looking into lots of quirky javascript trickery, although it would be nice to integrate these techniques I feel this is probably a little too advanced for me at the moment.
