Time had finally come to discover what grade I had achieved for the first Assignment A2 That’s the plan. I was nervous at the start of the day as I was thinking what I am sure a lot of other people were at the time, what if I’m the only person who had failed and I hope I haven’t done something stupid like written the CD incorrectly! My nerves were not made any better by the lecture that Steve gave to the class about things that people had missed out which meant they had not passed. At break I was sure I had missed at least one thing off. But I was so relieved after seeing my grade that I had passed both units. I had put a lot of effort into the assignment and it is comforting to know I can still pass these types of assignment. It has been years since I have actually really tried at something the jobs I have done and past courses never really tested me to this level.
I am eager to get my feedback for the assignment off Steve next week, as he said in our group feedback my assignment failed and passed a number of times before he finally decided on a pass, which makes me think I just managed to scrape through. I am a little worried as the next assignment we have to do is to further investigate a website plan (A3 Back to Basics).
We were given our next Assignment A3 Back to Basics, on Wednesday afternoon. We now have two assignments to complete rather than just one like last term, but we have eight weeks to complete the assignment this time around. I am looking forward to the next assignment because hopefully I will be able to learn from my mistakes and progress at a high level along the course.
Thursday we were given a talk about Resolution, Bitmap Images and Vector Images, I knew a little about resolution and bitmap before the lecture but nothing on Vector. I think the notes in my sketch book will come in very useful over the next few weeks as we were given our other assignment, A4 Picture This. I am going to try really hard to improve my sketch book work. This is a Photoshop assignment. I am looking forward to using Photoshop as I always hear people saying how good it is, but I have never used the software before. It is a little daunting also however because it will be my first real creative project since school and I hope I still have a creative side left in me in order to pass the unit.
Over all I have enjoyed the week back at college and am looking forward to the next.

I know what you mean about having to improve on sketchbook work, i think we all have to improve on that but hopefully we will get there in the end!
I think I am going to try colour code my skechbook for each assignment. I was thinking if I colour A3 work in red eg a red line down the side of the page and a blue line down the side of A4 work, it will make it easier to tell which is which when scanning through the sketch book.
You might also want to think about highlighting links and important information in your sketchbook aswell. John also told me to note down my feelings sometimes aswell in the back of my sketchbook.
I think these ideas are quite good but if you can add to them then please do.
Also I think our feedback group is going well.
