London 2011

I recently went on a trip with Salford University to London to see the 4 Designers conference and visited two design studios, Elmwood and YCN. I also saw the design museum, which was a lot of fun. It was very inspiring to see lot's of designers opinions and takes on the design industry, their approaches to their work and to see two agencies first hand was very welcome. I've attached a few photos from my trip.

New projects incoming

As the title says, I've got new projects coming up. I've been given my brief for my computing unit, this one is on web design. I suppose I should also let you guys know how well i've done with my marks, but I haven't been given them all just yet.

Extended Advertising, Illustration and Type/Editorial - Distinction -
Personal Project - Merit +
Extended Computing A - Pass + (fell short of a merit by a smidge)
Business Comms Presentation - Merit
Business Comms Report - Distinction
Business Comms overall grade: Distinction
Teamworking Project - Merit +

I'm pleased with what I have achieved but I realise I could have tried just that much harder in the animation unit (Extended Computing A). In the future, when faced with projects where I don't understand certain technical things, I should afford myself more time to refine what I create.

Oh, and before I forget, I have a wordpress for my new unit, the web design unit.
