Lots More PageMaker and Good Feedback (4th-5th October)

This Wednesday we were asked as soon as the lesson started what we wanted to do, as our assignment is only two weeks from the deadline that’s what we decided on. My assignment has progressed along way over the past few days. I like last week have found using PageMaker quite confusing and a little frustrating. I just think my design is looking good and is finished when I notice something wrong which needs changing. The report template I have tried to use this week confused me also as I have only ever used Microsoft Word to write reports. I am making progress with PageMaker and I am sure after a few more days of intensive work I will find it much easier to use.

In the afternoon Diane came in and showed us some of her work, I enjoyed seeing someone’s work that had just completed the course as it shows me what I will be able to do myself (hopefully) when I finish the course. Diane also came around and talked to us one on one she gave me some good feedback comments which led to me changing my navigation bar on my designs.

Thursday was the same again straight back into PageMaker and on with the assignment. Today I realised that I am progressing at around the same rate as everyone else in the class, this was a good thing for me as I had been a little worried.

In the afternoon my group had our group meeting, at first we didn’t really know what to say about each others designs in a way that would be useful. I think we both didn’t want to cause offence because I know how hard we both have been working over the past few weeks. I did get some good feedback off Mirhad and Steve which I have used to change my design once again. With all the changes my site should appeal to the widest audience and not just look good to me.

This week seems to have flown by, maybe it’s because we have been constantly working and there is so much to do that you never get a chance to watch the clock.
