The Shoe challenge

Day 1: It's a shoe

After creating surface patterns for Task 2 of the Culture vulture assignment I wonder what would be in store for Task 3. The assignment is done in reverse so that you do the creative thinking first and design, then you find out what the product is.

Once you know what the product is you need to fit your design to it, in this case Task 3 was to put our surface designs on to a pair of trainers, fitting the design to the trainer in different ways. I didn't pick up on what we might be designing for, I thought possibly it could have been a coca cola bottle like the previous year had done.

Day2: CSS heaven:


Having fun trying to get my surface patterns to become a design on the trainer, I thought this would have been the easiest part but no, it was the hardest bit.

At the minute I'm still not happy with the result of the design so far, it just shows you how you can design creatively with knowing what it is going to be placed on.

This afternoon we learnt some more CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), in which I found very interesting; even though I might not show it I enjoyed it.

After seeing how simple it can be , I think I will do some more tutorials from Alistapart and maybe max design, lets see if we can get a 3 column page layout done by myself, then I will be happy.

Thanks for reading, until next time.....
