February..

Just completed the CAD project with Bruce..

I GOT A FIRST.

Super happy with that as i didnt think i would be able to get my brain around web-design etc. Flash i never want to see again though. im glad i now know how to do basic web design on dream weaver but if i ever have my own website i wont make my own as i dont think it looks professional. i will hire an actual computery person or do it on an online template as i think it looks much more professional. illustrator went alot better than i thought it would! i got to grips with it fairly quickly and realised that the basics i thought i knew were actually pretty much the base knowledge you need for doing most things on it. i am very pleased with my illustrator experiments, i think they worked really well and look quite finished.

I have also started the beginnings of my own brand identity.

This skull was my design that i put through the embroidery programme and then embroidered onto a jumper. I have made patterns for jumpers in sizes: small, medium and large. I originally made Josh one for Christmas and people showed a lot of interest so I have been developing my own brand identity and products. It's going pretty well, I just need to ensure I keep a balance between my own projects and college work. So far it hasnt been a problem but I need the fancy computer programmes at home!

I used illustrtaor to do flat drawings for the jumpers and also play around with colour and shading of a digital image of the jumper.

Nyah is wearing the small jumper in "oatmeal" here. AKA, beige. It needs washing or ironing to get rid of the line down the front but it fits well and is a comfortable garment. Designed for chill out!
