The difference between Illustrator and Photoshop

If you are getting into Graphic Design, here's a tip, Illustrator and Photoshop will be your best friends. Illustrator is more of a vector based design program while Photoshop allows you to take photos and edit them, combine them, etc... I would suggest using Illustrator to create images from scratch and Photoshop to add or delete elements to/from an existing photo.

last day

So this is my last day of the web design class. Hopefully I pass, because I don't know if I can take any more of it. Like I said This class is not ADD person friendly.

sites i like

Lordsofpain.com

I like this site it's easy to look at. The background is black with white text. You can't go wrong with black and white. The layout is simple. The main focus of the page is in the center.

Navigation is somewhat busy though. Pretty much every aspect of the site is a link to another page. This way you can find what you're looking for when you want. And the link names are obviously a brief description of what the link is about.


Cheatcodes.com

The first thing you read on this site is a description of what you can find in the site. There are two ways to navigate navigate around the site. There is a list of systems names on the left of the screen or if you want a simpler way, you can look at the system logos in the center of the page.

Each game has it's own page with tabs for cheats, hints and tips, unlockables, and FAQS. The color scheme is are light based color that go well together. I'm not sure about the over all layout. Too much stuff going on for me.


Youtube.com

Even though this site is the most visited site for viewing videos, the layout is somewhat of a mess. There doesn't appear to be any organization. The color scheme is mostly white and red, to go with the logo. Though it hurts my eyes a little bit.

Navigation is a little difficult to understand. There's no list of categories to choose from. It can be a hassle to find a specific video. And you tend to get some video results that have nothing to do with what you're looking for.

my web design class

Ok. So it's pretty obvious by now that designing web sites is NOT my strong point. This class is not an A.D.H.D. person friendly one. It's too freaking technical for me. But I gotta stick through it because if I'll have to take it at any school I go to.

FINISHED

I just finished my first clients logo and menu and he was very happy with what i did. So that's good.

first designing project

YES! I've got my first project as a designer. It's for a small taco stand on Bartow Highway. The guy needs a new logo and a new menu both of which I'm designing. I just hope i can create wheat he wants with this being my first "client". I'm pretty confident that I can. I've already shown him the logo and he is pretty happy with it.

Some games I'm looking forward to.

Ok. I've played ALOT of video games in my life. Some of my favorites are Kingdom Hearts 1&2, God Of War 1&2, Assassins Creed 1&2, WWE games, and others. There's too many to count. But I'm looking forward to the release of several games like Kingdom Hearts 3, God of War 3, and Assassin's Creed 3. All these games have incredible voiceovers, graphics, story lines, game layouts, etc...
