Results Today, and Tomorrow

Well, just obtained my results for photography. I've passed which is the main thing, but going to aim for a merit. I knew I had much more to do, which included deeper explanation of the research obtained, also taking the techniques researched on and develop them. I think thats my major worry. May also change my final piece, as it wasn't a perfect example of how "NORTH CYPRUS" should of been seen.

The next hand-in date is 11th February, so i'm going to resubmit then, hopefully I don't do a lastminute.com approach.

Got my 'Hybrid" assignment results and feedback tomorrow. I think I've passed with that one aswell. I know that sketchbook is not my strongest of points, so I'm going to defiantly going to do more research and development. A weakness in my eyes, and what most companies look for.

I've got a "copywriting" brief to be handed in for Wednesday. Final touches to be done. Going to chose the final designs and fine tune them. And then nextweek 28th of January, Barnbrook will be giving a seminar at Birmingham Metropolitan College @ 6pm till 9pm, with HND YR1's & YR2's poster designs will be critiqued in front of hundreds of people :| NOT looking forward to the critique...

Time to get back to studying :D

Working very hard on his Photography Module - HOMAGE

Not something you want to do when your room is 1'C, you can't feel your fingers, and you promised you'd hand in your assignment tomorrow. Come back from North Cyprus Saturday, nothing went to plan. Got ill on Sunday, with not being able to hear in the right ear, and the most horrendous banging headache i've ever had.

Think it'll have to be Monday, and the weathers not doing great.

This is the view from my window :

So here I am, Facebook opened in one window, Wikipedia opened in another ( the most unreliable research website), trying to finish the sketchbook, and leg off to go and PRINT off the GIANT PHOTOS!... MEH!

Let the inspirations begin. . .

As a new year thingy-mi-bob, I'm going to share some inspiration and influences, and maybe ideas to help followers to allow their creative juices flowing. Obviously DeviantArt is my best friend as you all know, but i'm going to try and use Behance, which I only found out about last year..Strange I know...

I'm mostly into digital art, so inspirations will be vector work, typography, illustrations and what not..and i'll do a little annotation to WHY I like it so much, just so it doesn't look like I've C&P (copied&Pasted)..like my last posts, which I apologise for.

What have I become? by *copperthistle on deviantART

Work by *copperthistle, which I like because the control over the amount of colours chosen doesn't make the image stand out as much, but the viewer can still depict what he/she is describing. Great use of texture, brushes (PScs3) and also illustrator to show the weight of lines.

Some amazing textures for you to use..BTW..HAPPY NEW YEAR =)

Well I haven't been on this for a very long time, so many apologies. Overcome the 1st semester of HND Graphic Design @ Birmingham MET..and the 2nd Semester starts. Thought I start using the whole "blog" system to help myself, aswell as sharing ideas and critiques from other people. Will upload work that I have completed during the 1st semester..BUT now I will share with you links that i have found on DEVIANTART, maybe the second place I log onto when I get onto the internet [Sorry to say, Facebook is first ;) ]
