Considering the lack of experience I have using illustrator, I am quite pleased with the result I have achieved in my final design 'wingvetica' (or so i have dubbed it!).

Before I print on my A1 design sheet, ready for module submission day on monday 22nd november, I will re-organise my order for a more styalised flow and structure and arrange the composition of my designs.

Just another experimentation- seeing my designs once again in black and white really makes me appreciate the addition of colour- I think the blue tone really enhances it so much, and the black and white gradient glow looks quite crude and unprofessional, the blue is a definate improvement!
