Hello?

Does anyone even read this anymore?

Reflection - Client Website

I feel this has been a valuable experience for me. I hadn't worked with a client before this assessment, and it's given me some insight about the business. I'm sure this will come in handy somewhere in the future.

I can't say that I've finished working with this client, at least in the short term. She has recently come to me with more ideas for the site, which has caused me to revise my statement in my previous entry about the completion date. If this were a real job I'd be making so much money for this.

Putting all that aside I can't say that I really like designing websites. It's not my thing. I can see how it would be useful to know how, and I'd probably feel differently if I were making one for myself, but for the most part I find it extremely boring. Coding, error-checking, getting PHP forms to work, I'd rather be focusing on design than construction.

No-one made Michelangelo build the Sistine Chapel before he painted it.

Well, at least I know I have the skills to fall back on another aspect of graphic design should I not find a job in my preferred area right away. Yeah, I'll go with that.

Client Website - Almost Complete

I had the chance to show the client my progress on the website. She liked what she saw so far, we just need to nail down the content and get a few more images up there. The website should be completed this month, and for anyone who's interested I'll put a link here to it's address when it's uploaded. Or at the least, I could mirror the site on my free webspace at Dhost.

You can go there now to see some of the things I've been doing this semester if you want.

Client Website - Final Mockup

After showing all those mockups to the client to review, she pointed out what elements she liked best. Then, I put together this mockup;

It's near identical to the sixth early mockup, I just updated it a bit to match the planned site structure. The client liked the background colour very much, as well as how the content stood out. I'm not sure I'll be able to duplicate the scribble box effectively in a web document, so the client may have to settle for a regular box. She also liked the idea of side links to new products on the menu page. Now I just have to build the site and get some images to use.

Client Website - Mockups

Here's a bunch of mockups I made to show the client about my ideas for the site;These are very basic, and should only be reffered to as a guide.

Client Website - Questionnaire

Almost forgot about this.

I gave this to the client about two weeks ago, and didn't get it back until recently.

Client Website - Development

It's coming along nicely.
