23rd November

Frustrating day...booked printing of the magazine in plenty of time but couldn't print as i didn't export the fonts i had used in my InDesign file properly so when i tried to print from the uni printer all my fonts were lost or replaced! argh... lesson learn't always keep a copy of fonts for printing!! I have now saved the font files to a separate folder to load to the uni computer..take 2 tommorow morning!

Also, got introduced to the last project of the term which involves doing a brand for a fairtrade fashion label..i was involved with the fashion show last year so will be good to have the opportunity to get more involved this year and possibly have my design used in the show and for the work to count towards my work.

Been thinking about what i want to do for my final project next term.. Initial ideas was to do a magazine but on second thoughts this may not give my prtfolio a strong variety of work so i have decided to research doing a branding project as this appears to be the bread and butter of a graphic designers work.. i have arranged a meeting with the owner of a Carribean restaurant in Bristol called Plantation to see if i can use this restaurant as a case study for re-branding,..this interests me because it has a strong culture and potential for a strong brand and this particular restaurant has been on TV etc..up and coming..there are lots of elements to the re-branding not just a logo..to be continued..
