Samantha Dell- Studio Placement

Web design and development isn't my strongest area, but is definitely an area in which I want to learn more about and become more confident with.I did a placement at Shape studio in Atherton. It was a bit of a drive for me as I live in Rochdale but was worth it! I thought it was going to be more, watching what Jason is doing and learning some more code but Jason is so busy and advanced with what he does and also works at about 90mph, so I wouldn't actually learn a thing.

During my time there, I worked on developing ideas for a backstage page that they want to include on their website in the future and sketched a logo ready to be digitalized. A few things I have learnt in my very short time at Shape, is a few extra shortcuts in photoshop, which is always handy to know, as it will speed up the design process. I refreshed myself in photoshop and learnt a bit about parallax websites.

I found Shape so much fun. It is such a chilled environment with the team. The work that they do is fab and would love to go back in the future :)
