Hey Guys and welcome back to my blog! Today I am going to be talking about my Digital Portfolio that I created as part as one of my college assignments. I had to create a five-page Digital Portfolio based on my Logo that I created in college also. I created my Digital Portfolio using Adobe Photoshop CC 2017. For my Portfolio, I used Triangle shapes as my base. I then used a colour gradient for my background to add colour to my portfolio. It took me a while to achieve the placement of the effect and the colour I wanted to use. Once I had these picked I did the same to each page. I had five pages in total. I used two different fonts in my Portfolio - one for my Heading ROISINS DIGITAL PORTFOLIO and a different one for the rest of the text in my portfolio. I added in images of my logo and different colour variations of it. I also added in some sketches of my design process to the portfolio. My last page was of my Final Logo that I used. I would recommend anyone who want...

Hey guys. I'm back. Today I am going to talk about my time in Exeter so far. On Saturday/Sunday 26th February last I made the journey from Dublin to Bristol Airport. Then I was picked up and brought to live with my host family. I was very nervous I must say, but the family where lovely and still are. I must say I was so tired after all that travelling, the minute my head hit the pillow I passed out for a few hours. Even when I woke up, I was still tired. That evening we had a lovely Roast Dinner, and I learned that that is a very common English thing. After dinner, I watched some TV and talked to the family. I started to get home sick so my sister Face timed me and I felt much better. Then I headed off to bed and I had a good night’s sleep. The next day (27th) I had to be up early as I had to get a Train to Torquay for a meeting with the training partnership, they just talked to us about what we can and can’t do and most of all told us to enjoy this experience. Then after ...

Whoa, I don't know where to start! Next week me and six of my class mates will be making our journey to England as part of our work experience.

Hey Guys!  Today I am going to identify e-tool to include social media marketing, blogs, rich media, email marketing, search engine optimizations, online advertising and their application to digital marketing campaigns. Social Media Marketing A social media presence is a necessity for many customer-driven enterprises, as it will give the impression of a more immediate connection between the customer and the seller.
