The first two days with tutors

Tuesday 6th October
Another rainy day and horrendous amount of traffic, but was in a good mood though i was up early as i stayed at my boyfriends the night before.
Finding room H113 was hard though as i had no idea where it was lucky i followed someone else who who being shown where the room was so i made it to lesson on time=]
Today we were being taught by Jamie, about basic IT skills, plus we were using Apple Mac's. I have one at home and am completely useless at using it, but this lesson actually really helped me understand how to use the Mac and actually got me to like using them.
After being taught basic skills and how to get onto our emails, we were given memory sticks and then started up these blogs=]
I actually love the idea of doing blogs, as i'm terrible at remembering what had happened in past days. So i'm looking forward to see how this blog turns out at the end of the year=]

Monday 5th October
Managed to make it just in time today, terrible traffic this morning nearly took an hour. Plus it was pouring down with rain not good at all, especially with no umbrella=[
As i was in the first group we were first up for showing our holiday projects to Karen which was called Me, Myself and My Life So Far. To be honest i'd been dreading showing this as i didn't know what other people had done and whether i was on the right track or not, but looking around at other students work it made me realise that everyone has there own unique way of working and what to put in. I think looking at their work also made me think about a few stuff that i could have put in mine. Doing the project was hard though to think what to add as it is such a broad title that there is so much you can put in.







Two sketches from from my holiday project

I met two more of the tutors today Karen and Sarah they seemed really nice=] All the tutors seem nice and friendly and you have sense of support from them.
After a break we had Sarah where we were given The World of Interiors magazines to look at the swatches inside.
I love analysing things like this and it helps give a sense of presentation/illustrations, after doing this task i feel like i'm already really into the course. I've never felt so into a lesson before lol...
We were then given a task to research for a mood board to do the next monday, the choices are Pre-Raphaelitism, Military, Handmade, Punk or Random. I just can't decide between Military or Punk, but i have more ideas for a mood board for Punk so i'd better get researching=]
