This week I have learnt about the way I should structure my weekly sheet which as helped me to get my work done quicker. Now I know what I should be doing and when the work needs to be done.
Monday gave me the chance to do some of my assignment, after a presentation on how the work needed to be completed so that the presentation of the work is correct.
Tuesday we have been looking at the Pagemaker and how it works. Steve did a presentation on how this should be done in easy steps. I thought that it was a lot different to word as a lot of the tools are different, so I thought I might struggle with the tasks set. I found the first bit of the task easy as it was just putting the picture on the page and setting the text out. But as it went on I found it hard to understand some of the work shown which I kept messing up, but Steve was there to help with anything I didn't understand.
But I new I would have to try and understand how Pagemaker worked as I would need to hand my assessment in using the set design. I thought that when the tasks had all been completed that the work looked neat and professional.
Last week for my self study I did my screen designs which I thought carefully on how the site should look. I did six different pages for all five designs. I thought my designs looked a lot better then I expected. I also had different coloured sheets, I picked the colours carefully that would best complement my design.

Things becoming clearer
Week three and it seems like we have been here ages. This week had been difficult as we have had loads of work to do and the planning of what work needs to be done. I am finding this hard as I never know what tasks I need to put down on the weekly sheet, but I am sure as time goes on I will find this easier to achieve. The meeting with Steve has given me a better understanding of what needs to be done on the assignment, he has helped with any questions that I needed answering.
This week I have done the target audience and the delivery requirements, the presentations have helped loads as I wasn't too sure on what work I needed to do for these sections of work.
I have put notes in my sketch book, this will able me to go back and see what I can add to the work I have already done.
This week for self study I am going to look over the work I have already done to see what improvements can be made. I am sure there will be loads of things that can be changed to make them better. I am going to see what work needs to be done for next week. I am going to look at planning my weeks so that when college comes I will know exactly what needs to be done and how I am going to do it.
I have found it really easy to add inspiration to my sketch book and have found loads of great mags with inspiring pictures in, I have put these in to my sketch book as I will always need to go back to these for ideas and when I am feeling like I need more motivation with my work.

Where have I come from? Where am I going? How am I going to get there?
Where I have come from
I progressed to Outwood Grange College, Outwood, Wakefield in 2000, where I studied for my GCSE’s which were in the following subjects; English, Maths, Science, History, ICT, Dt Food and Leisure and Tourism, which I successfully passed. I left in 2005 when I decided to go to College to study ICT and develop on my existing skills. I decided that the course that would best suit me was GCE in applied ICT where I studied on a 2 year course at Wakefield College, where I progressed my skills in multimedia, spread sheets, database, and generally the ICT aspect where I passed the course. I decided that I preferred the more designing unit of the course, so I decided to look for a course that would best suit me in multimedia, where I decided to apply for Interactive Media at Wakefield College where I was accepted on a place to start in September 2007.
Where I’m going
I am planning on achieving and to learn as much as I can in my Interactive Media course for the following two years. If I am successful, I will be planning to progress to degree level, so that I have as many qualifications as possible, so that I will be able to get a full time job in the area of design or the web design industry. I will hopefully further my career on becoming a manager of a business connected with design or web based design, or create my own business after gaining experience in the computer and connected industry.
How I’m going to get there
I will be ‘setting my goal’ on getting the highest grade I can in interactive media, so that I will be able to study at a college or university to get a degree, so I can develop more skills and experience. I will also be taking every opportunity I can to have a look at how the web design industry works and motivate itself. I will also be planning on putting a portfolio of my work together so that I will be able to present my designs and work done to other company’s or clients. I will be planning on looking for a part time job in web design or similar, after I feel that my skills have improved and able to offer and gain experience. I will also check how I am progressing, by designing a career plan and going back to the career plan every three to six months, I will also check I am where I want to be and where there is room for improvement and along the way looking for motivation and refreshing my approach and taking on board suggestions for my tutors. I will then improve if necessary and revaluate. My career plan is only a guide so it can change if necessary through time and suggestions this could be due to changes with my career in the future and on target with my studying.

First Assignment
On Monday I started my new assignment, I didn't know what to expect as this was the first assignment and it was set out a lot different to college, so I was nervous of what to expect.
When I looked at the assignment I thought that I wouldn't be able to do enough work to achieve a good standard. When I started the work I didn't know who to pick as there were not many people on the list that I new, but has I started to research them I thought that Julie Andrews would be the best one for me to research. I felt a lot happier when I had done my research this gave me a better understanding of what the assignment was all about. After this I could then move on to the next piece of work which was the project goals. I started to think about what goals I could have for the web site, I put some ideas down in my sketch book so that I knew when Tuesday came I would know where to start from.
Today (Tuesday) when I got to college I knew what piece of work I needed to start which was the project goals. I planned and had already researched them the day before so I just needed to type them up and see if I could think of any better ideas to add to the list. I then looked in my sketch book to see what the next piece of work I could do was, so I decided to do the target audience, I looked carefully at what target audience I could choose. I thought this was hard because the target audience could be any age as lots of people would be interested in her and her life.
After deciding what target audience it was aimed at, I then thought about what information would look best on the site. I decided to look on different sites to get a better understanding of what information people would want to learn about her.
