Wood Wharf III - the final cut and many problems
So happy with my work I wanted to get RID of it before it took OVER my life.
My Problem
As I pulled together the project on quarkexpress I was restricted to my mac at home. My usendit for some reason wouldnt send and to cap it all my quarkexpress file exported to a whopping 240MB PDF format from a 10.4MB file!
I managed to download adobe acrobat on to my laptop. although after the adobe treatment it was reading as a smaller file on my computer but it was been treated by my email servers as if it was not compressed and was far too large to send. So now I thought I will have to hand deliver it
3 CDs later - they were so slow opening and reading the files I thought this is not going to work, whos going to wait 5-10mins when they have hundreds to view. I went back in again to quark and managed to compress it to a baby 6 MB without loss of quality.
So at 6.21 today I pressed the SEND button and said au revoir to Canary Wharf and bonjour to Eastbourne...

Wood Wharf II - the last week
So I ended up putting in the hours to get it finished. I was quite pleased with the result and what I managed to do and actually I started to feel like a designer for the first time.
Although I had "finished" I went through my submission with Paula and had a list of tweaks. I had resolved there was no way I was going to do any touch up before submission that perhaps if time I could do before handing in my submission in next month. But....
...me being me couldnt let it go knowing that I could improve it so I spent today tweaking. Then once I had that done I spent hours trying to save it, reduce it and send it.

Wood Wharf I - the last 2 weeks
Last Monday I got pretty frustrated with Wood Wharf.
A technical brief for an ideas competition. I would have preferred to do something arty but felt I had to adhere to the brief. I dont know how one could deliver a collage and still deliver the brief.
So I went through the technical route and built the model to scale in sketchup - very time consuming. Anway in the end it was a case of I started so I'll finish ...
As a means to the end, I bolted the main raw unfinished criteria together for my first crit as I wanted to find out what I needed to do. The output didnt reflect the input, but how could it be anything else at this stage?
