In total around 800 student applied for Graphic Arts & Design and only 130 got a place. Hearing these two figures together has definetley gave me the confidence to believe I can do this course and I will succeed.
Although, I am now only one student out of a class of 130, which scares me as that's a huge amount of people to work with and even to get to know, so not only is this course going to be a challenge to my skills but also a challenge of me as a person and how I'm going to interact and remember all these people and there individual talents.
So, along with our time tables and briefs we got given a sketchbook, which coincides with one of our briefs. All together we have 6 briefs for semester one. Five of which I have and the last one is still to be given to us.
Brief One: Participation.
Brief Two: Sketchbook
Brief Three: City Poster
Brief Four: City Book
Brief Five: Think & Link
They are a range of briefs that coincide with workshops that I will undertake, participation is about participating in events and such around the city, I will have to document everything I take part in that is to do with art and design in someway like going to galleries or festivals..
The Sketchbook brief is really open, I've been given a sketchbook to fill with my ideas, drawings, notes, photos and other work that work together in some way to represent Graphic Art & Design in some way.
The City Poster; no other way to explain it. I think this brief may be done in groups of 9.
The City Book, I believe is a brief were you have been given the text to go into the book to be made, however you and possibly your group make and design it.
The Think & Link brief is the written piece of work that all students do. I'm yet to find out exactly what we asses to write about but we have lectures for this specific brief.
