Evaluation - Designer Profile

What I have learned
I have learned how to use Adobe Design Products because of this project - I am grasping how to become a confident Photoshop CS4 & InDesign user as I had time in this project to test and try out these software. Starting this project - I knew little about how to make a design in Photoshop CS4 and importing into InDesign. Now as I am finished from this project - I can now say that I can use Photoshop CS4 and InDeisgn more confidently that before.

Does my Designer Profile meet my brief?
Yes, my design has meet the brief that I set out to do. The designer I did it on agrees on the quality of it and says its adequate enough for a designer profile. Whats good about it is that it has a unique page layout that displays the designer's interest though images differently rather than having a basic page document with text all in one place and images all on the sides. Looks more spacious with the page layout I chose for this designer profile - mimics a mind map with text all over the place to represent the designer. By manipulating a basic mind map style with text in order to achieve my propose - I thus achieve my brief effectively at the same time.

Bad Things about this design of the designer profile
Text was a major problem in this page layout - mainly because you had to fit in the spaces around the mind map styled page layout. Text is probably only the thing on the profile that maybe hard to read - But I tried to counter this by using different font colours in order for the text to be readable. (Black/White)

Counters / changes along the way
The heading font - I intentionally wanted to use '3D Cliff ' text but decided to use a more simpler font that's more easier to use than making the text in Photoshop CS4/ I had changed my page layout once as the first intentioned page layout was too basic and looked like a document. So I changed it to a different page layout and decided to go from there. This page layout was more creative and spacious than my original page layout. You can see this in my thumbnail sketches and said why some of them weren't good. The big second A4 sketch is my final concept sketch for my designer profile.
