Handed in my Dreamweaver ABC yesterday and had an illustrator came into Uni, to talk to us about becoming freelance, it was a really good talk and impressed with the presentation.
Today we had a women from Aquent come into Uni to talk about portfolio's, I thought this was a great help and showed me what not to do and what to do with my portfolio. Now I feel more confident about creating a good portfolio, I have already started making changes to mine, taking in to account the tips she gave us.

Had work this morning 6.30 till 11am. Surprised how awake i've been all day. Went into uni afterwards to do my pdf's for my portfolio, because we have a few professionals coming into uni to talk to use about our portfolios in the next few days.
Instead of doing the pdf's I ended up doing more work on the websites for the ABC because I asked Neil whether it would be best if the gallery was working with large images and he said it was best to. So I spent the rest of the day adding Lightbox to the gallery.

Well I woke up late. Which I would normal say is a bad thing, but this morning I wasn't to bothered as I have actually pulled out the courage to ask to do less hours at work, to do more uni work as we have just started the Professional Project. So I thought I'd get some rest this morning, so that i have more energy through the week.
Over the weekend i spent all of my time after work creating a couple of websites to get an ABC grade in Dreamweaver. I wasn't going to do it in the place as i didn't have the time to do it but as we got told last Friday we have to do it. Im actually surprised how quickly and easily i created these sites, I know there only basic designs just to show i can use the program but after only using Dreamweaver a little it nice to know I can use the program when I want to.
We started our sessions for the essay today. I am really worried about this because im not the best at this sort of thing. Its not the writing of the essay, its the coming up with your own discussion to talk about. Also i think its just going to slow me down in other projects.
Our task by next Monday is to come up with a title plus finding the first three articles and images we want to talk about.

I had the showing of our Professional Projects ideas this morning. we had to create a A4 landscape pdf with a brief description of what we are planning on doing, also may include a few images.
For my Professional Project I have decided to create a piece of packaging for an electronic devise or software. I have chosen to do this because I have always been interested in packaging design, also have enjoyed doing past packaging designs. I think the one thing that set it off is getting my new Macbook the other day because I was amazed by the packaging and it gave me a sense of satisfaction towards the product, knowing that they have really thought about everything.
After the presentation me and Steve cracked on with the lastminute.com brief. It was all going so well, we thought that we had come up with a really good idea but then we had a chat with Neil (lecture) about the design and realised that some of the audience may take affiance it.
Now looking back, whether anyone else thinks the same or not I am impressed with how much work and time i have put in to my uni work the past couple of weeks/months, with work as well. Also Steve has put in a lot of hours as well.

Just finished work and im really tired, can hardly stand.
Last night I went round Alex's and got the rest of the info, to put on the posters and made a few changes. Decided on what he wants the final designs to look like and after I went home and did a little bit of work on it.
Spoke to Steve on the phone last night to tell him what is going on. Will have to wait till tomorrow to do more work on it though as i've been at work all day and it is the fund raiser for our course's final show tonight.
