School Daze

Another week of school over, having a great time with it, but geeez there is a lot of homework. Spent 6 hours last night finishing a 12 page assignment on the elements and principals of design. It was a very challenging assignment as there were 8 different things for elements as ell as another 8 for design that I had to write up descriptions of, usage of and provide visual examples of them all. If that wasn't enough there were also another 9 detailed questions regarding the elements and design principals.

Anyway, I got it all done and I was pleased with the end result. Evn the tutor said it had the best content and layout of all the assignments, which does not surprise me since I did the layout using the principals I was researching.

On another note, I have finally decided on the colour scheme and base layout for a site I am working on for a glass artist. Should be really good when it is finished. I just need to get some more content from the client and it will be all systems go with that one.

We have a long weekend coming up here, so I will continue to make some inroads into a couple of site designs I have going and get ahead on another assignment I was given today.

Sort of a day off

Well, I am sort of having a day off from the online marketing side of things today. I have a list of chores to do that just don't leave me the time to do the things I need to do with the internet marketing business, as when I do them I need to be foccussed.

I have picked a couple of resell products to use for my test from yesterday, and will focus my attention on setting them up tommorrow.

I start my Advance Diploma in Multimedia next Monday so I now have 4 days to get my resell rights efforts on track so I can plan out how to keep them moving while being at school as well.

Re-educating yourself

Now why would a 41 year old be going back to school on a full time basis?

I have just been accepted to do a 2 year, full time study course for an advanced diploma of Multimedia at our local institute/university. I am doing this because I fully believe that you never should stop learning in life. I have always had a leaning towards website creation and all the different facets of it, so I am pursuing this through the above course.

At the end of the 2 years, I will be qualified in the area of designing and implementing multimedia in web design at a commercial level, which can only be a good thing in this age of having video and animation on so many sites.

I will be continuing my online ventures at the same time as my study, and will try to incorporate what I learn in my everyday design plans.
