Photography Pitch
The pitch to the photography students proved to be insightful to say the least. It certainly was a different experience to what I was expecting.

The opposing team lead the pitch to group but given that they had substantially more time working on the project as well as the supporting communication with the photography tutor.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't disappointed when I found out that we were not successful in our pitch to Amanda and the respective students; after all no one likes rejection. Though, in the same breath, I breath a sigh of relief that we were not selected due to the clients tailored CMS requirements alongside the almost design by committee approach to the project.

I wish the best of luck to Tom & his team.

Games Development Pitch
I want this project & from what I understand so do the rest of the team. I consider that the Games Development pitch was the first real pitch that I have ever had to do & differed greatly from the co-pitch with Tom for the Photography site. With that in mind I feel that Gary & I did really well. The designs were fantastic!

The only real kink in the armour was our inexperience in what is expected during these pitches. The client & Steve were expecting to see a greater depth of site by showing addition pages such as the calender, etc.

The designs were overshadowed by the shortfall. We have been fortunate enough to be able to re-pitch for the job; this time we will be considerably more prepared as we know what will be expected.

Westgate Studio's
Hearing from both Bob & Chris this week has reinstated some needed confidence in the pairs willingness & commitment; though I am still awaiting feedback from Chris.

There is much to do this week... no rest for the wicked!
