Compromise

Another problem we seem to be having, is that we both have different ideas on how we want things to look. So we sometimes argue over issues as to whats going where on the site. We are both learning how to compromise and make the most of both our ideas and combine them into something better.

This is holding us back a little bit, because we are both being very picky about particular things. I guess its a good thing in a way because it means the final product will be something to be proud of.

Progress and Dilemma's

Ok so the website is coming along nicely, there are still a few things to do.
However, our main dilemma is where we are going to get our shirts printed and if we should get them screen printed or an alternative method. ( ink press )
The problem is that if we use the alternative method, we can get single shirts printed which will cost around $30 per shirt, OR we can get 30 shirts printed at under $10 a shirt. So... do we take the risk and get 30 shirts printed in the one design and hope that we can sell them all for $20 a shirt? or pay the extra and get a couple printed and charge $40? It may seem obvious to some, but when it's your own money its a little harder to give up.
We are thinking that we will get the 30 done and have lots of stock to sell, if worst comes to worse, we can always sell them at the market or something.

3rd September The project takes shape

This week the website and how it was going to look was completely finalized. The Buttons and layout has all been created. We have really taken a liking to our color theme London underground which consist off Yellow, off white, black. Constructing of the website seem to be going nicely. The next step is to finalize the printing of the shirts which we need to work out the totals and try and find out the best deal to save money. We also started looking at music for the website and music responses for the buttons but are yet unsure if this will be implemented.

Had a dagawood dog and a meat pie for lunch was quite awesome.
And we actually did like 10 hours of work today which was quite good.
