Of course half term was week 7 and I have to confess that I did not do anything towards the coursework! I had total time off as I had big decisions to make about other aspects of my life.
SO back to college today and well not much to report really. Bit of a nothing day as far as 'teaching' goes. Fiddled about with photoshop and did learn things called actions, which can be a crude way of adding animation, however I did then get to grips with animation in image ready which I had been struggling with. Now all I Have to do is find a photo that I feel I can manipulate and I have 5 weeks to do it, which may sound lots of time but in reality it is going to fly by, so i really need to get some stuff finished.
I must also get my copy of CS3 loaded on to this machine as you can sort of backward engineer files by saving them as a tiff as it will also save the layers which is the important bit for showing how you did something, so tomorrow whilst I have the plumber in fixing my bath I shall do that!
Our afternoon session was working on the manifesto project, and we have hopefully chosen the manifesto to do a presentation on. The 2000 first things first is what we are going for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Things_First_2000_manifesto it is a re-worked manifesto of the same thing done in 1964, so will be interesting to see if things have changed and if any of the designers who signed the original one did in fact achieve what they set out to do.
Now for the 2500 essay to be done I have to choose another manifesto and do personal research, all very scary and 'out of my comfort zone' as one thing I am crap at is research and dissection of a written piece!
