Restoration, Reclamation

An enjoyable week, lighter in the usual academic sense than regular weeks; this has made it a lot more productive for me personally. Being that I see myself on the side of creativity and design applications to practical work, there will be possibilities for me to shine on this particular task and show myself and Steve the work I can actually produce.

I definitely can see a big change in the atmosphere of the course due to this task being a more creative one, I think people try and forget about the other task on a Tuesday; given that this is a the assignment people prefer. With more design tasks like this ahead, I can see it will only carry on like this and the group atmosphere will stay very light hearted, but at the same time eager to complete the work and do have a seriousness about trying to pass.. or more.

I will be posting my first attempt at this assignment on soon.

Referral work is due in next week, so this week is a BIG one for me; there's a lot of work to be moving alone with. First of all I need to finish all the referral work and get that to a stage where it can be handed in. Second I need to carry on with this 'Image Restoration' work, get it to a good standard, post it up on here for feedback. Thirdly I need to continue with my A3 work and get what's needed for next week and also down for my production schedule. Fourthly the catch up notes need to be done for the seminar groups as well.
I also need to have some sort of social life & play football twice in between these.

If the second years are reading this, we 'The First' years are issuing a formal challenge for a game of 5-a-Side Football.. we will expect your answer post haste. We also would like a wager on this so if anything pops into your mind.

How 'bout rugby instead?

That's more interesting.

Just wanted to say I hope it all goes well this week. You've got a lot of work to do, and it can be hard to balance this with social life and other commitments.

I agree though with what you said about A4 being a more enjoyable assignment for everyone. But at the same time it's important we don't forget about the work that needs to be done for A3.

I can see what you mean about the atmosphere in the class and it's good to see how everyone is really getting stuck into this task. I know I’m really enjoying it.

I’m looking forwards to seeing your first attempt; I think everyone’s expecting you to be a master at this. No pressure though!

I have to agree Craig ruby does sound more of an interesting choice.

Bring it on Yr 2

I am really pleased that you have found an area of the course that you can really get your teeth into (so to speak).

The A4 assignment as a whole has been very much different to A2 & A3 (the two web plans).

I agree with you about the atmosphere of the group and the level of productivity.

It would appear that most people are now giving this course the seriousness that it deserves.

I'm amazed at the confidence you showed with the image restoration task and you certainly made a good start on it from what I saw in class.

I think the hardest part of this task will be restraining ourselves from concentrating solely on this assignment rather than commiting equal amounts of time on both a3 and a4.

I admire your confidence in your abilities, I imagine this attribute will help you greatly in the Design industry. But, can you put your money where your mouth is?!

Joking aside I'd be really interested in your latest version of the image, as I'm hoping to refine my own techniques. Got any tips?

I agree that the whole class seems to be more alive with this assignment. I beleive its more to do with the hands on designer work rather thats required instead of a boat load of research and notes.

Football/Rugby, hmmmmmmmm, sounds interesting....

Despite being the worst (insert sport here) player in the world if a 5 a side game of any sorts crops up then count me in.

As long as it's not cricket, that really is boring.
