Let's get it started in Here.

Since last week I have really gotten to explore the different types of graphics that I can, and will be, putting to use. I was able to create a couple of graphics, a twitter and a youtube header, that have helped me to determine the overall direction, and have shown me how cool graphic design can be. It's definitely amazing to know that if I get a job in what I trained for I will actually enjoy myself. Graphic design definitely does not feel at all like work!

As a team, we were able to accomplish our individual goals through various meetings with the Art Direction team which has helped us to develop visuals that meet the criteria. The visual team has put forth some pretty strict guidelines that will help the entire project to be more unified. Thanks to the information provided, (colour scheme, font options and design requirements) our team was able to get a good start on a few visual pieces that will greatly help out the social team.

Throughout the last week we have really come together as a team through our Facebook page. We are able to provide input to each other on specific designs and offer up suggestions to make each others designs smoother. As a team we have created various designs to be used by the social media team on all of the major media platforms.

The biggest struggle this past week was making sure that everyone was on the same page with the designs. Simplicity seems to be a main aim and it was important for all of us to like the designs that we make and still offer up constructive criticism. After this week it seems like we are starting to understand the different design styles within the group. It is nice to have a variation as long as everything still mixes well.

By next week I hope to have completed two successful designs for use on various media platforms that have been agreed upon by my team.

Here is an example of one of the things that I have been working on!
