Diary of a Web Designer

Here is a day-by-day outline of the processes I went through when making:

- The website
- The newspaper ad
- The double page spread


DAY ONE - 3rd November 2010
I downloaded Kompozer through a Google search and run a few tutorials on it to get to grips with the software.

DAY TWO - 4th November 2010
In Media Studies, we were given basic tutorials and were able to begin setting up the websites on our own. I also completed my Newspaper advert research and updated my blog. I created a post for Magazine research and saved it as a draft for future use.

DAY THREE - 12th November 2010
I continued design work on my website.

DAY FOUR - 15th November 2010
I linked all my pages for my website successfully and sent it to my teacher for review and feedback.

DAY FIVE - 21st November 2010
I began working on my newspaper ad, and used my previous research as a reference point.

DAY SIX - 29th November 2010
I continued my magazine research and my site work. I set the colour and chose my pictures to use on the site. I still may change the pictures at this point.

DAY SEVEN - 30th November 2010
Some minor adjustments to my site were made, such as fonts, colours, some tables...

DAY EIGHT - 2nd December 2010
I began work on my double-page spread and looked back over my research for assistance with this.

DAY NINE - 9th December 2010
I sent off my double-page spread for review and feedback.

DAY TEN - 16th December 2010
I made the appropriate changes to my site and double-page spread where indicated by my teacher.

DAY ELEVEN - 23rd December 2010
I made necessary links between my newspaper ad, my double-page spread and my site and looked over everything.

DAY TWELVE - 27th December 2010
I updated my blog with all the relevant info and finalised my site, before sending it for review again.

The following posts will outline the details of the final pieces...
