Summary of a good year for design :)

I have finished my first year of a design degree at Stockport college.

Most of this blog has been updated with uni work related posts and a few off topic posts.

This year im hoping to absolutely saturate this blog with Uni work, design that interests me and work i have created!!!

And to get the ball rolling here is a website design i recently created for a mobile DJ.

LULU.com is ass backwards!!!

heres my rant of the day!

One of the things i've learnt about design is that the most time consuming and annoying part of the design process is dealing with the print companies and printers.

after creating a magazine and dealing with the non existant support lulu has to find there print settings it was up to lulu too print the magazine... expecting it back from lulu as a professionally printed high quality magazine i was extremely disappointed when it came back, the valleys between pages had been cropped to an extreme and the ink it was printed in was blotchy and faded.

DO NOT use lulu to create design on photo books... they are truly publishers for text books only despite them pimping themselves out as full colour publishers.

Lesson Learnt, dont use LULU!!!
