Feedback from Design Board Presentation

MM brochure, website, web banner
Prospective students identified as target audience
Resources sources listed and why used
Brochure mock-up
Banner on other sites for cross-promotional purposes
Website mock-up would have been good for layout, colour and navigation purposes

Identities Progress

Last week was I did my design board presentation, I was suprised how well it went. I was really worried about it but now it's out of the way i can start getting on with creating my package. This week I have been looking at dreamweaver and flash tutorials to try and develop my skills in these programs further. I think the website I am creating will be my biggest challenge as my talents in dreamweaver are limited, but I feel this will make the project more interesting as I will be learning as I go. This weekend and next week I will start to create my web banner and finalise my designs for the package. The design is basically finalised for the website which i the main part of my project but I need to apply these designs to the brochure and web banner, this should be relatively simple but I must check that it will work in all media before I start creating my products.
