Look I Don't Make Those Mistakes Anymore...

I think overall the last few weeks have been very productive having managed to complete the Style Guide (barring a few changes) and the referral work on the builder website. There was slight panic on Thursday afternoon when I was trying to hand it in because when it was being looked at no changes were evident. This was due to poor file structuring. I do feel slightly stupid as I changed the file sizes on my memory stick but changed the white space issue on the college network.

I finally started to create the CD this week using the words from the track listing and title of the cd to try and give me ideas. I have yet to create something concrete but I am getting there.

I came back this week thinking that I was slightly behind but from the feedback group and other people it seems that I have done a lot more than I thought. Having the Style Guide completed was a target for coming back to college as was the CO-ID. Having finished them all it has lifted a weight off my shoulders.

I have only a few changes to do to my surprise so this weeks task is to complete the Style Guide changes and the CD Label as this will be the easiest hopefully. I want to create a simple CD Label maybe just a plain back and then concentrate on the main CD Sleeve and Inlay. It's just a constant battle with Photoshop so far to get the right desired effect and I do feel a bit stupid because I did have a good attempt except I forgot to up the DPI to 300.

No Time off for the Heroes!

As requested here is the white version of the Logo. Finally managed to convert it to one single outlined shape. I do think that this is the better of the two designs. In the end the decision to stay away from the 'circular' logo was probably the best.

Holiday time and i'm working harder to get things finished and trying to bring down the mountain of work left to do.
The hardest thing so far has been the scaling of the letter to fit the website style guide. Everytime I did it the image quality wasn't very good. Anyway in the end I've managed to come up with a better image and the plan for now is to get the rest of the Style Guide finished for this Saturday so I can start to develop the CD designs in my Sketchbook.

The Style Guide
(or some of it) is ready to view on www.chris-towell.co.uk/units/ambient-world
