Half Term Post...

Hey everyone,
I've just managed to complete my Culture Vulture task 1 in draft about Nike and it didn't go too bad if I'm honest because this was a task that I was actually interested in doing. As well as working for Nike its nice to have that bit of background on the company that I work for aswell, thus the reason why I enjoyed researching Nike.

I have started my web plan on assignment i'ME but I didn't do that well to begin with, I thought I was missing data each time I read through it and well if I'm honest I'm still not satisfied with what I've produced. The i'ME assignment is a more hands on assignment and well its propably going to be my favourite but at the same time, for some reason I can't seem to get started. I think its because I have written work to produce before I start the design work and well I just can't wait.

This week off, so far as been a success for me, I've managed to produce (most) of my work but at the same time felt that, what I was producing wasn't enough. I tried to get my work for the week done in the first few days but trust me, 'It will not work'... You need to spread out your work evenly to give you a better understanding on what to do and how to do it.

'CiSSy' has had my head in a spin, I tried to complete the task 1 again like my tutor asked but I couldn't understand what had to be changed but in the end I managed to change the areas that needed changing by reading through the task 1. Thanks to John my tutor, I've managed to get all my work done in some kind of schedule, he's pushed me and pushed me to use time planning and schedules and I have to say they work like a treat...

Thanks for your time...

Feedback always welcome as usual...

Half Term 'WEHEY'

Hello
This week has finally come to an end, I feel this week has been a bit of a menace. I have just had to hand in my task 1 of the assignment ‘CiSSy’ and well It didn’t seem to go that bad after receiving feedback from my tutor, also on Monday I had to come up with three ideas for my assignment 10 (Culture Vulture) and I came up with:

- The Nike Brand

- The Pepsi Logo

- The FedEx Arrow

In the end the decision was made between me and my tutor, and I eventually agreed to work on The Nike Brand. So far for the task I have produced a fare few pages of research and if I'm honest the assignment seems to be coming along nicely, even though I have only just started. I am looking forward to working on this assignment as Nike is in somewhat of an interest to me as I work for them. I’ve worked for Nike for 3 years and its going to be interesting learning about the company whilst at their employment.

I don’t know why but this week has been tiring, I haven’t been has enthusiastic about work as I was for the first few weeks, I think this is due to lack of sleep with the stress of work...

The iME assignment is starting to get a bit of attention now, I didn't really give it my focus as I based my work towards the other assignments but this next few week will be different, I have included the iME assignment into my self study time more than anything else, I need the time to put together a complete web plan and this is the part of the assignment I’m not looking forward to.

The first five weeks back at college has been a success, I’ve managed to hand it assignments on time, I’m enjoying being here and also I feel that I am doing something with my life. As of last year I think I am improving, feedback from the tutors has given me the confidence to keep improving as I believe I have a lot more to give and prove which I will try to demonstrate over the next passing months.

Thanks for taking the time to read, same again next week…

Feedback welcome as always!!!

''The Biz'' assignment just bit me in the ###

Hello again,
This week I have just handed The Biz assignment in for marking and after todays response from the tutors I feel I may have let myself down. This last week I feel I have been working hard in trying to complete my assignment on time and correct, but I only managed the on time part. After handing in my assignment I now know that I have made some silly mistakes such as not including a word count and also not producing a professional business plan in the correct way.

I feel gutted about whats happened as I have put the effort in and not really got anything from this. I hope that sooner than later I can sort my work out and be able to hand in a fantastic piece of work without the worries of a bad response from my tutors or even piers.

I think the content of the assignment went ok, but it was the presentation part that let me down, and if I'm honest it has been letting me down for the past few assignments. I honestly thought I hit this on the head with this assignment but obviously that wasn't the case.

All I can do now is look ahead and focus on the other assignments, one of which is due in on Tuesday 17th October (task 1 of the assignment 'CiSSy')... I hope I can overcome the obsticles that I face with these assignments such as presentation, as I am going to focus alot more on more regular...

Thanks for taking the time to read my entry, feedback is more than welcome!!!

P.S. Does anyone have any idea where to get those stickyback plastic CD wallets from?

Thanks Again
David

My Work Is Back On Track

Hey Everybody...
I can finally say that my work is coming together nicely, I only need to write up my tasks for assignment 9 (The Biz) and I can finally get that out of the way and ready for hand in which is on the Tuesday 10th October.

The work that I have produced on the assignment 'The Biz' hasn't put me in a panic, as usually when hand in date is near I start to worry and can show lack within my work. The Biz assignment I feel has gone very well in terms of how I have produced the work due to the fact that, I have been using my weekly planning forms to their full and this has enabled me to complete my work on time and in correct order without having the horrid task of referring back to what I feel I may not have done. Now this assignment is out of the way I can now focus on the other assignments at hand, I haven't put the effort required for the other assignments as I was more focused on the assignment that had a earlier hand in date, which is 'The Biz'

For the two other assignments that I have to produce have now got my full attention, I have produced some work for the assignment 'CiSSy' I have completed my task 1 of the assignment in a draft way, all that is required is the likes of a read through and presentation in academic format. The 'Ime' assignment I really need to focus more on as I have only produced this blog and my sketchbook I have yet to introduce any sketches and ideas into my sketchbook or on computer. This shall be done in the next week as I have scheduled the 'Ime' assignment into my weekly planner, which will tell me that I really need to do it.

This second year for me is going great, my work is coming along in good manner and my attendance is very good, I've only had the likes of 1 day of which to be fare I couldn't prevent. I hope my progress continues and I hope each assignment skills will somewhat improve after each assignment.

Thanks for your time, I shall keep you informed as I hopefully progress...

Feedback is more than welcome...

Thank You
