Week 4 / Wednesday

Totally different kind of morning with Design Principles today. Met our other lecturer Dave Cope.... and was introduced to what design was all about, mainly that it is about opposite. Looked at some pictures to grasp what artist empathise on and how we can use this in our layouts of pages etc. We then had to draw....Ahhhhh but I have to say that I was very pleased my with bed picture!

Basically we had to draw our morning journey to work and next week one of the other members of the group is going to interpret it, am quite looking forward to it.

Also found out today that half term is almost upon us which I was amazed at as we have only just started, it makes me wonder why people bother to work when student life (at the moment) seems so easy going. But then I do wonder if I have a different perspective due to starting college and student life from the other end so to speak. I have already experienced stress and worry in raising children and running a business. Had highs and lows with marriage and divorce so maybe I am viewing college life from a very different perspective.

Have come up with my first adventure game draft today and by accident I created a very pretty 'orb' and so 'The Orb of Sutekh' has been born. I fancy this adventure game to be based around a goblin or elf like creature with a passion for cupcakes, and the orb is the giver of these amazing cupcakes that hold the power to longevity and the power to get the elf home. Or something along those lines, not fully thought it through if I can will upload a picture of the cover in progress. Of course those of you taht follow my sister's blog will already have heard of 'sutekh the giver of cakes' and whilst looking up the names of egyptian gods I found the 'Seth' or 'set' the god of chaos was also written as Sutekh so couldn't resist! So two happy accidents resulted in an idea!

Still not found a lift share, but big sis starts college on Monday at Falmouth so may Be picking her up along the way somewhere if it coincides with timings.

Travelling in to camborne college there is this 5 minute window where you either have a choice of half the car park or if you miss time it' grass verges or a long walk. Interestingly enough the Chybucka turning causes a ghost traffic jam, an interesting concept that happens when someone brakes and this goes down the line and eventually a traffic jam occurs. It's a proven fact, so whilst as a road user you are being courteous in allowing cars across the junction by braking instead of just slowing down you cause a sometimes two mile tailback.
