Kaboosh; Day Two May 5, 2010

So I was right, day two was no better than day one. We made banners today for the website. But not just banners, oh no, static banners. How wonderfully dull. They seem to have no real idea of design. Personally, I liked the designs we made before they had all life tweaked out of them. I think that the company needs to rethink their target audience. For example, they have a competition where you can win a record deal, with this they have little monsters advertising it and, in my opinion, it is horrifically childish. When I was making one of mine I was ‘advised’ to put speech bubbles in it so it looks like people are saying the words. I had done this earlier on and decided it looked disgusting so I was less than enthusiastic to put it back on (only to take it off again). This is going to be a long fortnight. I’m desperately looking forward to the days where I am finishing earlier or have off to go to work.

These are the two banners that I was given A WHOLE DAY to make (completely unnecessary time frame):

Kaboosh; Day One May 4, 2010

In all honesty, the first day was a bit of a disappointment; however, if I had read Dommi’s blog beforehand, it would have completely met my expectations. I never really had high expectations in the first place, when I heard that the others did a lot of Flash stuff I wondered why I had been put forward for this because I have not used Flash since GCSE and absolutely despise it. I have avoided it thus far though. I cannot say the same for Photoshop however, another programme that I despise. I went to use Maya for a task we were set this morning, but because we’re not at the University the licenses for it are not valid so it does not open. At all, which was an instant downer on the day. I hope tomorrow’s better, but I’m not going to count on it because I doubt that it will be.
