I used to use Photoshop a ton in high school, even to do things that would have been WAY easier in Illustrator, so I was used to creating little shapes and knowing how to edit them and editing text and stuff so as far as technical problems with the software I didn’t really have much. A few times I just got really into following a little system that I set up with these boxes and totally forgot about the grid. I just followed the grid when setting up the major things but then as far as filling the rest of the page it strays a little bit in areas. Not sure if that would be a technical mistake or a conceptual mistake.
I feel that I am improving on creating things like links and buttons and things you interact with. My first couple of drafts they navigational stuff looked pretty awful but I slowly began to figure things out. It was difficult to deal with all the different hierarchy thats is involved with a website. all the different levels of links and labels and titles and body text… but again towards the end I started figuring more of it out.
For next time I need to improve on doing more of the dirty work. More sketches and brainstorming before I get on a computer. Thats hard to do but I feel like if I had a few more little details worked out before hand I would have save myself a lot of time playing with different ideas on the computer and the final project may have turned out even better.
