News(on)flash

I've decided to abandon hopes of completing the Flash course. But it's nothing to be sorry or ashamed about.

The reason for this decision is simple and twofold: Firstly, I put a hell of a lot into my exceedingly rewarding Photoshop project.

Secondly, I've been working on a lot of freelance features so the time and space I needed for Flash was never there.

I have to be honest, when I handed in my Photoshop project I was joyed and relieved - and bloody knackered too!

But no matter. The good news is I'm more optimistic about my humble design aspirations than I have been for a long time.

I will potter around on Flash over the next few months and do the course again next year. It's something to look forward to.

In the meantime the foundations I have laid in InDesign, Dreamweaver and Photoshop will now come to the fore.

In the months ahead I'm going to build on my freelance and music sites, meanwhile work on a new, more ambitious journalism-related site began today.

Soon I will be able to do all the things I wanted to do when I set out on my design learning odyssey.

In fact you know what?

It's gonna be fun.

And it's gonna be good!
