I found the work experience there very useful, whilst i was continuing using my existing skills i became more confident in using a few programmes that i only knew basics on ( Illustrator especially).

Throughout Some of September I have been doing some Work Experience in a Graphic Design and Web Design company close to where I live. It is a small design company that works in corporate identity, printed literature (illustrations, photography etc) and web design. They work for companies of all sizes.

Heston Blumenthal - The Fat Duck
I was also really impressed with this website. I think it is really clean and neatly put together. All the information is provided that the user will need and it presented in a way that is easy to find.
The part of the website that really caught my eye though was the "About The Fat Duck" section. You use the mouse to interact with the page and navigate your way around. It is the only part of the website that is interactive in this way. All the other pages are purely for information uses. When navigating your way round the "about the fat duck" pages you can find out how Heston Blumenthal manages to get the senses for his food right. For example he explains how he gets his Touch, Smell, Taste and Look of the food perfect.
Get Him To The Greek
The other day i went to see Get him to the Greek at the cinema, I thought the film was pretty funny and came home and looked the film up on the Internet as there were so many famous people in it i wanted to see what other films i had recognised them from. I got taken to the get him to the Greek website and was really impressed with it.
From the second you type the website in the site becomes interactive. First there is a page with different options for the user to explore. When the user goes to "Enter Site" as the page is loading and there is a countdown to the Performance your mouse becomes an aeroplane. When the page has loaded you can pick from more things to do.
You can pick from the places that 'Aldous Snow' and 'Aaron Green' went to when trying to get to LA such as London, New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. When the user clicks on each place there are different interactive things going on. For example in London you can watch videos and in New York you can find out about cast and crew and the plot etc.

Skittles - Experience The Rainbow :)
I found the Skittles website on the FWA and thought it was really good. I like the design they have gone with displaying different random facts about skittles. They have a part on the website with two sumo wrestlers trying to get people to follow skittles on facebook and twitter. I liked this way to get people to look at the facebook and twitter pages rather than just having the symbols - which they also have at the top of the page
incase the user does not view all the content.
There is endless content on the skittles website. It is the sort of website that you would go back to to see more of as there is so much to do and read on one vi
sit.
I also like the three little facebook, twitter and features widgets that are on the page at all times. As the mouse goes over the symbol there is a small but effective flash element to show the user that they can click on it.

Jean Paul Gaultier Website
I came across this website which I thought was quite interesting. I like the flash elements that they have incoorporated into the website. As you choose the different areas to view you are directed through an old mansion. When looking at the perfumes you can click on the concierge bell and i particularly like how the hands pop up and you can ask for help on the website if you cant find something or have questions. I think that the navigation could do with being more obvious as it took me a while to find the back button to get back to the index.

YUMI
For our group project, our client is an ice cream parlour in Hyson Green, Nottingham. It was set up by a Student at Notthingham Trent studying Interior Architecture.
On Wednesday we had a meeting and took photos of the different things available in the shop along with the interior. We are now waiting for the content off the client as all that is available for customers at the moment is the facebook group.:
These are two reviews on the Parlour:
Hennie Haworth
Hennie Haworth is a designer i came across when looking at an Christmas advent calender website in December, that i posted on my blog back then. Hennie Haworth is an Freelance Illustrator. I really liked the website, especially the navigation how different pens appear over the text the mouse hovers on.
