Getting back to normal (ish)

I was delighted on Wednesday to get a full day to work, after missing so much it was good to get a chance to try and catch up as best I could. I spent most of the day trying to look at my goals, delivery requirements and typing up my competitive analysis; having had far too much to start with I got it down to about 1500 words, about the required amount.

These types of days are really useful and find them incredibly helpful when we get the chance to have them.

Thursday was the start of looking at the banners, it was a pressure morning with only being given a few minutes to start with and then only a few seconds to come up with and draw an idea. It was hard work and something in the future will be helpful when trying to come up with ideas and get them down quick.

The afternoon was then an opportunity to get them down in Photoshop and carry on working on the restoration. I was quite pleased with my ideas and I was also quite pleased with my first attempt at the restoration. I found the tutorial meeting really helpful as we were given some really useful hints and tips for the restoration, as Steve saw something’s on mine that I possibly wouldn’t have noticed otherwise, I think I will start it again and print out when I feel it’s at a decent stage and try to see any areas which need going over.

The banners were also quite poor in regards to which text I had chosen although there isn’t a great choice of “jazzy” styles also putting the type close to the edge is something I believe that a few people had done.

I think in future remembering these tips is something that will certainly improve my banners as well as getting feedback and other good ideas from people.
