The week started with a talk about blogs and what they are used for. We were set four questions to ask which we answered in groups of four, they were:
What is a blog?
How do you use a blog?
Who are your target audience?
What content should be on a blog?
I have to admit I found this lecture useful as this is the first blog I have ever had and wasn’t sure what they were used for, which means I wasn’t sure what to write or how to write it. I now understand that this blog is not only for my assignment A1 SketchBlog’s benefit it also is a key part in other assignments too. My blog allows me to get a wide variety of feedback from other people which will lead to higher grades if I take the information on board. I do find writing this blog quite hard as I am not good at discussing my feeling at the best of times but I can see the advantages of it now. I felt for sure I would have to stand up and show my blog to the group because I had just changed my blog’s template to a black background and white text as you can see I quickly changed it back!
The second part of the morning was all about not failing our assignment and little things we could do that would achieve a fail so we knew not to do them. We came up with a long list and there were one or two things that I took on board. I also should apologise to the group for disrupting the lecture because my mobile went off in my pocket.
Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning was about the assignment again. I was a little stressed with my designs because I had realised all my measurements in pixels were wrong! This took me most of the afternoon to sort out but I am happy now I can put that to one side and say all my screen designs are completed.
Thursday afternoon we had to have our assignment finished as if we were going to hand it in, however I did not have my CD labels, assignment sheets or name on anything but I will defiantly have everything in order by next Thursday. I can’t wait for this assignment to be over, not because I am sick of it or it is boring, it is that I just want to know the grade I will achieve as I have not done an assignment for over two years and am worried that I am not at a high enough level anymore. I think after the first one is over I will be able to relax more knowing I can still achieve at this level (with any luck).
