Can I design something that will be useful while gardening?
Hi, im a final year 3D Design student at University College Falmouth in Cornwall. Im looking for my next project, and was wondering if anyone on this forum would be willing to help me out?
Im looking for someone to design something for. This person doesnt neccessarily have to have a product in mind, they just need to be willing to share a little information about their lifestyle and interests, gardening for example! Please have a look at my website for more details: www.designmea.moonfruit.com Or contact me through this forum! Thanks, Holly |

There are spelling and punctuation mistakes as in 'accidently' instead of 'accidentally' and 'your' when it should be 'you're'. Small things but not confidence inspiring if repetitive. I agree about the spelling. In a former life I received lots of job applications from people. Some people had several spelling mistakes on the envelope (before even getting to the CV). For example spelling the name of the company and town incorrectly. Others had the most appalling, illegible hand writing on the envelope. In work where accuracy, clarity and communication (both written and verbal) is important this eliminated them before even opening the envelope and reading their CV. Also, a surprisingly high number of people gave out-of-date or badly spelled email addresses on their CV. On several occasions, people that were sent interview invitations never received them due to this. The emails bounced back to me because the email address given in the CV was not valid. When needing to filter out lots of applicants for one position, such carelessness on job applications proved to be one way of eliminating candidates. Obviously it depended on the job. A Mike mentioned, a cleaner would not be eliminated on the basis of their spelling. Though, it could lead to signs on the toilet doors saying "Bog is art a horder" :-) -- David in Normandy.

Here is a screen shot of what you see when you press enter. http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/6006/designmejx7.jpg It's reasonably simple and well done in my opinion. I've seen far worse. Variouys sections are animated - but only when first drawn on your screen. There are no continuous annoying animations like some sites.

I still can't get in, by the way. I suspect my system here is allergic to it. Cat(h) |

In reply to designmea ) who wrote this
in , I, Marvo, say : Hi, im a final year 3D Design student at University College Falmouth in Cornwall. Im looking for my next project, and was wondering if anyone on this forum would be willing to help me out? Im looking for someone to design something for. This person doesnt neccessarily have to have a product in mind, they just need to be willing to share a little information about their lifestyle and interests, gardening for example! Please have a look at my website for more details: www.designmea.moonfruit.com Or contact me through this forum! Thanks, Holly I've read your website gubbins, I like it a lot. I agree entirely with your views on quality, I rant on about it at the drop of a hat. I think you can achieve what you're trying to achieve in very small quantities, but sadly if you get to production quantities it will end up being made badly, in China or India, from Cheese, and will fall apart in weeks or months. You can design the roof of my pergatory if you like :-) |

I suspect that this is due to the use of JavaScript in the web page. (Unnecessary use of JavaScript seems to be a least as common a sin as unnecessary use of Flash.) -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
