Website for DMC College Foundation

Posted in Web Design on October 17th, 2010 by Romelo Itong

A couple of months ago, I was able to deliver a website for DMC College Foundation, Inc. It took me a while to finish the website because of various personal issues like having to use an underpowered computer to design and create the website. The computer I use for work broke a few months back and I still haven’t replaced it because, like my work computer, I was also broke. Currently, I am using my children’s computer and it’s the same computer I used in designing and creating the website for DMC College Foundation.

For the design of the website, the instruction given by the client was to create a design that is fun, colorful, young, hip and lively. The main color scheme used on the design was based on the school color which is predominantly green. The first design I created was rejected by the client but the second design was accepted and approved by them. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s Good but It’s Not?

I have been working for this company in the United States as an offshore design resource, more or less, for 6 months now. My job is to design and create e-mail promo and survey promo landing pages and other graphics for their clients with the occassional HTML and website jobs. In that 6 months period, my contacts will tell me that the designs I make are good but they will also talk to me from time to time informing that my designs are not up to par with their standards. Now this is a little bit confusing for me because how can they be good if they’re not up to par with their standards, right? O_o

I was removed from designing e-mail promo pages but was transferred to designing survey promo pages. A template was provided for me to use and I was instructed to just base my designs on the template’s design, which I did. At first, everything was running smoothly and I was commended for doing a great job on the designs I make even though all of them looked basically the same with minor variations on the fonts used, gradient styling, color scheme, etc. but they were fine with that simple style.
