Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Sun Jan 06, 2013 7:13 pm

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Sun Jan 06, 2013 7:18 pm

Awesome job! LOL it's totally fine if you use the same poses Smile

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Mon Jan 07, 2013 11:09 am

I know this is way to late but is it possible to get an extension of one day? I'm really sorry but I have a very important latin exam tomorrow and I'm not sure if I'm able to manage to finish my portfolio and learn for the exam today.. I'm going to try it but I can't promise it!

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Mon Jan 07, 2013 5:50 pm

Heheh no problem Dior Smile

OMG OMG everything is due today! (Except for you Dior Smile

)

BTW, I am hosting a comp on Unbound called Haute Couture. IF you guys are interested or are bored and want a time filler then it would be awesome if you could sign up Smile

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Mon Jan 07, 2013 6:21 pm

Ok I hate to do this two since I'm almost done with my last thing but could I have a one day extension to? I'm so sorry but my teachers just pilled up a ton of assignments in one night and we are going out to eat for my moms birthday.

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Mon Jan 07, 2013 7:57 pm

Good luck everyone!
I'm so proud of you, you did a great great job! Sounds like the end Sad

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Mon Jan 07, 2013 8:17 pm

LOL no problem Bubbles Smile

I don't mind!

Happy birthday to your mom!

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Mon Jan 07, 2013 10:08 pm

Did it! Here's my portfolio: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Sorry, I'm a bloody beginner with issuu and I'm proud of me that I even know how it worked because this was so difficult for me! Shocked

Well.. it turned out badly.. It looks so crappy and unprofessional but it's the best I could actually do.. I'm sorry, hope it's enough Crying or Very sad

Oh, happy birthday to your mom Smile

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Mon Jan 07, 2013 10:10 pm

Imogen it's beautiful! Please don't worry about it Smile

And it's totally fine--LOL I still don't know how to use Issuu either Smile

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Mon Jan 07, 2013 10:17 pm

Thanks Elastic! Very Happy

I just thought, ooooh just the portfolio, that's an easy one and then I came to this page and was like.... wtf? xDDD What I have to do now haha! Btw, your new competition sounds interesting.. I don't have much freetime atm but I think about to apply Very Happy

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Mon Jan 07, 2013 10:30 pm

Hahaha that's really funny. Well I thought Issuu would be the easiest for everyone but like I said, I've never used it so I wouldn't be able to gauge exactly how easy it is Smile

LOL I wonder if that's why Twink went with the website.... Smile

Oh ookie thanks! Yeah no problem. Really if you don';t have time please don't worry about it Smile

I do not want to pressure you guys into doing anything--just thought I would throw it out there Smile

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Tue Jan 08, 2013 1:09 am

Done! Just need to do the portfolio, tomorrow.

Awesome Bubbles! After school I will update the front page Smile

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Tue Jan 08, 2013 8:28 pm

I'm about to pull my hair out trying to figure issuu out! Can someone please help? Whenever I pick upload it says error, do the pictures have to be a certain file type?

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Tue Jan 08, 2013 9:56 pm

Hey Bubbles!

Okie I hate to say this but I honestly don't know how to use Issuu. Would you want to make a wix website like Twink did instead? If so, I can give you another day as an extension since extensions are technically three days when you ask for them Smile

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Wed Jan 09, 2013 1:31 am

Yeah that would be helpful, I'm so sorry for the delay I really tried to make it work.

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:02 am

It's okay don't worry! I'm sorry I wasn't able to help!

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Wed Jan 09, 2013 1:34 pm

Bubbles, the files must be documents like word or pdf files! Smile

Subject: Re: ~ FINALE ~ Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:23 pm

Done!

Thats ok Elastic Wix worked!

Thanks for the help Dior, wix was just so much easier for me!
