This has been my first week back at college after Christmas and there has been a lot to catch up on. My first priority was to get my UCAS application finished and sent off which I am pleased to say I have now done.
The next deadline I have is for my contextual studies essay on poster design. I had a meeting with my tutor John to discuss the essay in more detail on Monday and have devised a time plan in order to meet my deadline of next Friday. I have also done a SWOT analysis based on my essay writing skills...
Strengths: I enjoy writing and conveying my thoughts on interesting subject matters.
Weaknesses: I do not have any experience of writing a 3000 word essay. I do not have a lot of prior knowledge about the particular subject matter.
Opportunities: This is a chance for me to write a longer essay and utilise my essay plan skills. I will gain knowledge on interesting subjects relevant to my course through my research.
Threats: Time management could be a potential threat with this essay due to the timescale I have before hand in.
I have spent a couple of hours today compiling research into poster design and new technologies, I will continue to look at this tomorrow and devise an essay plan.
I have had two digital skills lessons this week learning new photoshop skills and documenting them using inDesign, I have made a concerted effort to keep up to date with annotation etc so as not to fall behind on my time plan, I stayed an extra hour on Monday and Tuesday in order to finish of the annotation for the tutorials we have had and I now have everything we have done covered.
I have began looking at the 2013 D & AD briefs and there are a couple that stood out, I am interested in the brief for It's Nice That, Ted Baker and Batiste, I am still undecided on which route to go down but I am going to concentrate on my essay for the next couple of days to get it under way.
