Like a river visit 5

We went back to like a river (23/11/09) but at 5 o'clock so Rob had more time to spend with us. The focus for today was working on the money idea. Me and casey both got our own macs and work space to work on and we were working on the backgrounds for our money idea. Rob showed us some new techniques and pattern making, mainly on illustrator. We decided to keep the background as patterns and then change the hue in photoshop to resemble the money value. He also suggested we take pictures of crumbled paper to transfer the money on to, this would help with our presentation skills. Rob then introduced us to the website veer. Its a typeography website that allows you to type in your information, ( in our case money values) and they shows your information in a variety of different fonts. We found out more about like a river, how many people work there and how they use a regular freelance designer. We are emailing Rob the progress of the backgrounds later on in the week.
