I always love designs before they go to the higher ups.   Usually it means designs are cleaner more cutting edge and more marketing focused.   At this point designers have free reign over what it should look like and what it should sell.  The design process is slightly ignorant to the legal issues or information that needs to be supplemented that drags it more back toward center.   The greatest dream for designers right at this point is to “WOW”.  If the designer can make a statement the design will be a benchmark that will win confidence that the marketing is heading in the right direction.  If the designer and design win this crucial battle the client is  more comfortable to leave you with the freedoms you have started with and the gravity of “center” will not affect the project.   I proudly present the early designs for IBIS.

So today I am starting my first training for a professional coding.  It is nothing great or even something super advanced. But I am really excited that I am learning the basics of AS3.  I have gotten pretty good at AS2 and for some reason every time I have tried to pick up AS3 I have had issues. It might be the fact that I might have missed some small thing back when I should have learned code or it could be that the Code is so close but so radically different in the more basic of elements.  I am truly excited to move on considering I have learned about many of the new features that this language has.  So wish me luck on my first training. I hope I am not too bored.
