98%

This is it. 98% finished with everything checked and double-checked. I was told not to have double carriage returns, but I can't seem to get rid of them without changing the text's spacing looking odd. Me thinks a quick chat with the ol' tutor...

Apart from that, I think we have a finished product Miss Moneypenny. Have a screenshot of it. I'm a proud parent of a (hopefully) finished layout design. Let's toast to Paula Scher.

Illustrative Decisions...

A choice of three different illustrations for my final piece. And I can't decide. I'm hoping, putting them on here might sway my mind one way or another...

Illustrative Days (wishing I was in the sun)

Following my love of Darla, I figured I'd bring her into uni for work today. And look at the progress she did!

(Above) Where I'd left off from last night

(Above) Changed the folios (page numbers) and sorted out the text- however leaving me with widows

(Above) Two illustration ideas photo and line drawing

Not best pleased everyone likes the photo more but we'll sort it...

I'm going to make a badge- 'I nerd out with InDesign'

Now that the thankless monster that is PPRD is out of my life (and outta my hair) I can put my full concentration onto good old Paula whose been sat patiently waiting for me to finish. I have a tutorial tomorrow (one-to-one instead of the planned crit) and I wanted to show what I had done so far. Better yet, let's blog it too.

*grammer question- is there two closing brackets in the above sentence??

I gotta say, InDesign is a rare joy in the murky waters of Adobe. It's a happy Tasha you find on her (new!!) laptop (Sony Vaio called Darla) listening to Gogol Bordello...

Blurgh- Ill Catch Up Day

Yes, the rumours are true. There is no internet connection in Devon. Not one I can afford anyway. I spent two weeks with no broadband and climbing hypothetical trees in literal woods. Meaning, the wood was there, but I resisted the urge.

Bright and early Monday morning we went to Dayfold Print- a printing factory in Verwood, Dorset, so that we could have a deeper understanding of the printing process. It was interesting- especially the creation of plates and spying the Lib Dem's new manifesto...

I'm with the understanding that we're doing our summer project on Dayfold so I tried to pay attention and wrote some notes. However, when we hit the factory floors, if you weren't up in his face, you couldn't really hear him. So I may ask around for notes...

Have some photos of the day;
