This is one of the images i did for our 1 day work experience brief for Newi's Centre for Disability Studies.
I enjoyed the experience of doing this one day brief. The task was sat nicely within my current capabilities, as I only really started with all this design stuff 12 months ago (after I was accepted at college). When I deceided I was to leave my old job and take the leap into re-education I quickly went out and bought quite a few graphic design books on basics like layout, composition, typography, ideas etc. I then obtained copies of Photoshop and Illustrator, and set about getting my head around them (as they are quite different from the music production software I was used to like Logic Pro and Ableton Live).
I suppose it is fair to say that prior to starting college I only looked at Graphic design basics, as at that time I didn't think the course would delve into anything deeper so soon like working with Timelines, animation, music-synchronisation etc. I was wrong there! The only thing that helped me prepare was looking at graphic design over the last summer, and I think that is why I found this to be straight-forward. It was just a case of quick research, some roughs on paper, then straight onto Illustrator to get it done, which I was able to on time (in this case).
We later had another 1 day brief, which was a web banner. This was the same kind of idea, but becaise of a lack of both experience and confidence with Flash, I was unable to complete my banner in time, even though I did have a plan. More on this on my end-of-term post.
