Week Two Talking From Experience

Monday 26

In the morning we had a Briefing on the PPD presentation that we have to do near the end of the academic year. 

*IMPORTANT NOTE* Start to think about the presentation now as tutors will be able to see it as a weak presentation if left to last week (start to make a few notes now.)

Also there was a presentation about Speaking from experience which included whether the resolution was humour, serious, informative, interactive ect, the tone of how the resolution is delivered. After the presentation I considered to do a humorous idea for the last project of the first year, instead of the flick book idea I considered developing ideas on forgetting to do something. Ie PPD blog updating.

Tuesday 27th

After yesterdays presentation I wanted to create something humorous with the concept of forgetting things in the morning I developed a few ideas one being temporary tattoos for tutors to use to give to the year if they feel someone will forget to do something. These ideas were tattoos for the forehead and chin in the shape of a beard using type as image.

In the afternoon we had Type & Grid, this week Lorenzo continued with notes on measuring type and trying to deconstruct grids in newspaper using one page and comparing it to others in the newspaper to produce what he thought where the grid template was. For next week we need to take in a magazine or newspaper.

Wednesday 28

Had a look at if I could produce temporary tattoos with my own designs on and found that I could ordered that paper from:

Thursday 

Spent all day thinking about what idea to do. As the tattoo idea may not be able to last for the whole project.

Thought about producing something serious about the art side in Leeds as I felt that there was a problem that the information is hard to find out about and the is no resolution combining information based on the art culture in Leeds.

Friday 

Progress tutorials - presented the idea of art culture in Leeds with information I want to collect and where the project will run. The feedback has been uploaded on my blog, it was positive and the group agreed that there was alot of drinking promotions in Leeds but not alot of information about what Leeds art culturte offers.

Overall look at the week..

So far in the two weeks of the project the concept I wanted to go with has changed so many times;

-Flick book idea of excuses for first years to use

-Flick book idea of excuses for first years to use but they are forbidden sayings on the course

-The weekend where I changed my mind because it would annoy the tutors

-Forgetting to do tasks- Tattoos to remember

-Art culture in Leeds

To say I have had two weeks I have been too indecisive with what concept to go with and wish that I would do one idea and have started it by now. This is something I have to take on board for future reference to make my mind up quicker to give me more time to research and develop an idea.
