    Art Director/Creative Director Pathways and Education

    I think Advertising is a likely BA for a Creative Director to hold. A bit of a mix of business and creativity, or at least that's how I perceived it. I used to teach on a FdA Advertising course and many of the students were aiming to become Art Directors or Copywriters. There was a fair amount...

    My first official experience

    Your second version looks much better, but I would get rid of the blue accents and the "beauty salon" sign that you've clipped on the end. It doesn't look right. Have a look at the tracking and kerning as the spacing between the letters doesn't look right. Try to simplify the logo a little...

    How do you like your copy supplied?

    I agree with above. Create a template and supply clear instructions as to how your contributors should use it to submit copy. I've done this on projects in the past where there has been multiple contributors. Once I explained that it was easiest way organise and format the copy they'd supplied...

    Urgent help needed

    OK, I've had a look. I think there could be conflict between the HTML page and the CSS document. You've declared an id called headbanner and attached some inline styling. If headbanner exists within the WordPress template's main CSS document, it could be causing IE to have a "Aaaah! Which one do...

    New personal identity - "Gemz Nunn: Web Genie"

    You guys aren't the first to say it looks like a gravy boat, so no offence taken. :) This is why I like to ask for opinions when I'm not sure about how something looks. Fresh sets of eyes see stuff I don't (even the obvious stuff, but you know what it's like when you've been staring at the same...

    New personal identity - "Gemz Nunn: Web Genie"

    Don't you just hate it when you get to the end of a project and come up with a new idea for it? That's pretty much what happened to me this afternoon. I had a brain wave and ended up creating two more ideas for my logo! I'm just not sure which one I should pick and finish. Do I go with the...

    Urgent help needed

    Okie dokie. I'll do my best to explain. :) HTML5 is being gradually phased in as the coding language amongst us web monkeys, but not all browsers are ready for it, especially IE. A HTML5 Shiv is a workaround to enable the styling and positioning of HTML5 elements (such as containers for...

    Urgent help needed

    Are you coding in HTML5? If so, have you got all IE Shivs in place? Had a similar problem myself and the solution was that I forgot to add a Shiv for IE9.

    New personal identity - "Gemz Nunn: Web Genie"

    It's gone from facehugger to sperm? Lol :) I'll have a play around with it. Was thinking that it might be a good idea to reflect the wisp or change the shape of it to make it look more like a lowercase g with the lamp at the bottom. The strapline needs to be changed as well, but I've got a...

    New personal identity - "Gemz Nunn: Web Genie"

    I know what you mean. I've been playing around with it today and, based on some suggestions I've had from people on Twiter and Facebook, I've made some significant changes which I believe are for the better. I'm currently debating which of the ideas below I should continue with. Without or...

    The new Ebay logo. What you think?....

    I like the minimalist style it's gone for, but I don't think it'll be as recognisable as the original logo.
