I see the end...

I had another meeting with Lexie yesterday evening and she has shown the letterheads, the business card, the W.C slip and the website to her superiors. There are only extremely minor changes that need to be done and they can be printed!

Also, she has OKed a banner design. I talked to the people at ArtAngel Design and through them I should be able to give Lexie the banner stand for about $550.

I also went down to Oxford Printery (Bolcon's preferred printery) today and got all of the specifications for the print work.

The project looks like it will be wrapped up in about 2 weeks! But I'm still dreading all of this freakin' paperwork...

The Never Ending War

Lexie gotten back to me with her thoughts on the second gen drafts. She has small quams with some of my design choices. This is becoming very annoying, because I have done these things for a reason. But I have to learn to put my personal views aside and bow to the clients demands (VERY ANNOYING!!!). Tommorow I will exact these changes and then Lexie will present them to her superiors.

Meeting

I had a quick meeting with Lexie this evening. The main topic of discussion was her to verbally explain what she meant by the feedback that she had written on the proposed designs I had given to her. Now all of that is clarified I'm able to move onto the next phase of development - 2nd Gen designs.
I've also discussed pushing the due date backwards, and Lexie seems fine with this. So now I have to change the deadlines in the contract and get Lexie to sign-off on the changes.

My thoughts:
I'm finding the actual design process rather simple but the main issue for me is the overwhelming amounts of paperwork that I have to accumulate for this assignment. Is all this really neccessary in the real world? I hope not...

Feedback...Finally!!

I know, I know, long time no post...

After giving Lexie all of my proposed ideas her supervisor has finally given her (and therefore me) some written feedback. After looking through all of the designs Lexie's supervisor has given me this feedback:

All designs will be done with green shades instead of red
The supervisor has selected their favourite design proposals
The logo needs to be incorperated
The letterhead must be fax and photocopier friendly (greys aren't photocopier friendly)
Each banner stand design has been given individual notes

because it's taken so long for the proposed designs to be evaluated by the client, I will try to extend the deadline for the different project tasks. I am meeting with Lexie this afternoon to discuss how the project is going, and to go through some of the finer written notes.
