Experimenting

Not quite sure how this came about but I got some pretty good results for randomness.

In The Pictures Are: A Plastic Sandwich Box, Water and Drawing Pins. 

The pictures were taken on my Canon.

The Sketchbook

Whats in my sketchbook?

 This is a collage of cut outs I found in a magazine that i associated with leeds.

Strange I know but i think everywhere is when your left on your own in a city you've never really been to before.

  

We were asked to take a test that in a way explains who we are. My result was ESFJ and from about 130 people on my course around 8 of us had this result.

 This is an ouroboros, it was one of the things we were asked to draw at the start of term.

This is the view outside my window... Lovely. So this is what Leeds looks like to me. This is also the first drawing I've done in a long time that i didn't use a ruler and set square for..

It's Clicked

Typography.

That's What I Want To Do.

BA (Hons) Graphic Arts & Design

Last week was my enrollment week but today I actually started my degree. Ive found out my time table and what briefs I will be working to until Christmas.

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.

Leeds...

So now I'm in Leeds and tonight shall be my first night.. 

This Is my room with my stuff in... This is were I'm going to be living for the next year...
