The 3 assignment issued is a web plan, like the last one, but now we need to add the content to the plan as well. Images for this site are now an issue as I will either need to find a free source of images or I will have to beg companies to borrow the images for an educational use. First impressions are that it's another web plan but this time it's leading on to actually making a website so I guess it's not so bad. "Back to BASIC" is the assignment and I am to develop an educational website to help people understand some computing terms.
Assignment 4 is the assignment I have been eagerly anticipating, now that I've got it I'm not so sure. The assignment name is "Picture This" and implied that we would be using PhotoShop, but in actual fact we will be using it for design in 2 parts of the assignment. The other 2 parts are reports but I guess it's a start on the long road of PhotoShop... I have started the first report and I have to compare a Vector and a Bitmap from The Designers Republic. I have found one image that I think is a vector image and this is from the Playstation series Wipeout which I have played and thoroughly enjoyed.The last assignment that has been unfortunately neglected is the Sketchbook assignment. I was supposed to look into sources of inspiration and I will now have to start filling the sketchbook with these, annotating where necessary. Sources of inspiration can include Magazine Cuttings, Artwork, Screen Designs and Layouts, Colour Schemes and Typography.
So far I have added the drawing book image to the Blog and it was mentioned that we could create an "Online Inspiration Portfolio". Although, like I said, this was just mentioned and may need some further discussion. As for typography I did find a font which I used for my folder design and my CD design and should be a recognisable font.

Yeah, see my post too. I've been neglecting the sketchbook, I think it was because I was settling in on the course, with what I considered at the time to be a massive assignment, and I just didn't feel I had the time.
I think a lot of people were too involved with getting things into Page Maker and re-editing their work so ended up neglecting the sketchbook. I know I certainly did this, and there was also some confusion of what could be put into the sketchbook, at least for me.
Now that this issue has been clarified by Steve, I reckon everyone's sketchbook will improve vastly over the next few weeks.
I agree with you Craig it did seem to be a bigger assignment than it was and the sketch book did get neglected, but this is all to change. I do however like the idea of using the blog as a digital inspirations 'catalogue'. The assignment is clearly called SketchBlog.
hey, dont nkow if youve notived or not, but you have missed Craig Allington off your peers blog list. I also think that almost everyone neglected their sketchbook for the first assignment. I just hope I dont do it again. I also agree with you Julian, now that the forst assignment is over and we have our feedback I think that everyone will start to appreciate how important the sketchbook is.
Oops so I have thanks Marc
