I'm a bit behind starting this, and to be honest have been putting it off each day but Jamie and Sarah are going to be checking this after break so I must just do it! So far I have enjoyed the first few weeks, it all has gone at quite a steady pace which I guess I wasn't really expecting but I'm sure that will change. It has felt like we have been here a while now not only 3 weeks, especially induction week that definately dragged! I think maybe because I was here last year doing the foundation course it was abit of dai jar vu. I'm really happy in the group I'm in, that was one thing I was pretty nervous about that I just wouldn't meet anyone but that was silly, everyones really easy to get on with and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better over the next few years.
I'e found the practical days to be very intense so far, I've never made anything before, I have been trying over the summer to make a shirt with the help of my friends mum, just so I would know something for when I start! and we've been using a pattern and thats coming a lot quite well, although its not really the same as what we've been doing here. I found
I've been getting quite frustrated getting things wrong or not remembering some of the instructions, especially the first practical lesson it was really difficult for me to follow the instructions from the tutors exactly right because it was all s
o quick and I've been making silly mistakes. I fel
t it was quite hard as well seeing exactly what lines were being drawn where from the demonstrations, and it would have been easier to have smaller groups split between the two tutors maybe I'm not sure. I think in time with practice I'll get the hang of it!
I enjoyed the mood board day, that was quite fun linking fashion with interior design and objects or scenes that were similar to the theme, I was pleased with the final outcome and it was interesting seeing everyone's finished designs as they were all so different. IT is i don't know really what to say about that, I don't know if i'll ever get the hang of photoshop, i don't think it helped feeling quite ill trying to keep up with jamie's instructions, I really need a few hours just one to one i think but don't know if that will be possible some time, I think illustrator seems a bit easier, I didn't expect to be using It as much but I ca
n see how it help with what we are doing

. Here is my finished outcome of my scuber diver!
