My new skills in Dreamweaver


So before Christmas, I signed myself up to a Dreamweaver for beginners course because my web design skills seriously were lacking, and all of the jobs I seemed to be finding wanted experience or a little bit of knowledge of website design/updating. So I did the first 6 weeks before Christmas learning some basics of Dreamweaver (albeit learning VERY SLOWLY because of the amount of old people who kept asking questions and didn't really know how to use a computer - the first lesson, which was a whole two hours, was spent on file management... aka moving a file to another folder). I got the jist of it (I only really wanted to know the very basics of where to start, and from there I've been able to play around with everything myself), I have created a website for a sheet metal company based in Great Tey. So this is the website, it's still very basic, doesn't use any of the real photos, and has very little text (as I haven't got it all yet), but it shows the basic frame of the website, which i'm quite proud of. My next challenge is redesigning my own website, and then I've got a couple more websites to design after that, so I'll be keeping myself busy!

I updated my website...

Now it has the whole of my final major project book on it, called 'The Uncooperative'.



Still no luck with jobs yet either, if any employers are looking at this (I don't expect so...) EMPLOY ME :D

My Final Major Project book is BACK...

I got it back from the printers today, so I'm very happy, but I've still got to make my box, which is very frustrating, and I've got to cut my jacket to fit, but apart from that, i should be all good right now :D

Some website lovin;;;'

So I just pretty much finished the website for our college show. We've yet to decide on a name for it, but I think that it'll be decided by the end of tomorrow, mainly because we're going to put them on the postcards. I have used all of the images of the deskspaces as the gallery, and used each individual desk space on each persons page. I have also created thumbnails of their portfolio work, and created a image preview application where a preview appears above the page with the larger versions of the images (this took me bloody ages to figure out), but they're looking good with everyones work (except for jasons whos image sizes I need to sort out)). So there we have it.

Wow, second post in the same day.

I must say, that doesn't normally happen. So my book is nearly finished, it's been printed and is currently being bound. I've made a poster of the spreads from the book, which I like, for my exhibition. Here it is.

UPDATE: I changed it a little to look like a receipt, as I'm going to have it attached to the top coming off a roll of paper.

So we're not allowed to eat in the studio.

So what do you do when you get told this information?

You make a poster. Like this. Just in case a scalpel falls into your sandwich.
