second week at uni

Hi again

Im in my second week at uni now and I feel my project is coming along, I have a few ideas which I posed last week and I have started sketching some ideas this week ready for monday. Im still not sure which idea to go for a but Im sure it will come to me soon. I have done some research on the internet on portraiture and self-portraiture and I am going to ask about the essay to get some help with writing it up, Im not to sure about the topic in which we are supposed to be talking about, I know its portraiture and that but what is the question we are asking. I need to ask phil to find out which I will do at lunch if I can find him. once I have spoken to him I believe I have everything I need to write up my essay. I am also going to print of my research and write up notes on things I have found to build up my research for the final critique.

Im not sure what else to write about so im signing off

talk later

bye

First day of blog

Well I only just started this blog today but I am already writing my second blog as I think I am going to use this to write down ideas for my work as I can then use this to show development and stages.

Iv had a good day today, we finished off our first lesson quite quickly as most of us already knew what to do and we raced through the brief as it where. we then finished off the day with a workshop induction which was a lot of fun and I believe with some of my work in the future I will be using the workshop to help with my presentation of work.

After uni I got home and thought of the work we have set for this sememster, we have to do a self poirtrait and from the videos and slides we have been shown I was thinking of what I could do and so I wrote down how I see myself and I believe I have my idea for my portrait, but its still in devolpment these ideas. I see myself as a puzzle as im very complicated and a bit of a mystery so maybe pieces wont be there, I also dont like to stand out from the crowd, I try to blend in way too much and dont do much outgoing and for this reason I believe my portrait might be faded. also im not very colourful with the way I see things and you could call me a very sereotypical person, I dont vary too much and for this I cant see my picture in colour but rather black and white whith all different shades in between as to represent what would be colour. these are a few ideas and so my project is under way. I have no idea on how this is going to turn out tho so the final result will be very interesting.

Im off now to think and maybe try out some things, I may write later.

Signing off

My first entry

Well I have just started my first week at University, everything is fine and I am finding it quite easy.

The campus is one big maze tho and its easy to get lost but me and my friends are adjusting and helping each other out.

This first week has been really fun and I have made new friends.

I have started using Maya or trying to use Maya at least for the first time and it is very confusing, I prefer using 3DS max as the layout is much easier come to terms with and is a lot simpler when it comes to modeling.

I have used Photoshop and Illustrator as well, I have used PhotoShop for about a year and a half now but this is my first time using Illustrator and I am really enjoying it.

I am going to upload some images here that we did for practice in Photoshop and Illustrator during this week.

This is me signing off till next time.

Bye.
