PPD1

Easter eggs me and Jaime got from her mum. :)

First day back after Easter holiday. During Easter I spent most the time at home, working to get some money, then I fractured my hand. Went up to Jaime's after that, to spend a week with her. Had a really nice time jsut the two of us, went to Blackpool Zoo, couple of pictures above. Didn't get any uni work done though. Missed Monday's lesson due to doctor's appointment, first lesson back. We got our handbook for our Interdisiplinary which looks fairly hard. Creating our own fabric to make a maxi skirt. Was supposed to of had 6 A3 fabric samples done by now to help get on with this new project.

Met our 3rd years today also, who we will be working with and assisting on wednesday's for the next month or so, mine's called Sarah Cook, seems quite loud but funny.
She's given me a few tasks to do for her. Some research into eco-friendly clothes and landfill sites and a shopping trip to find her some orange shoes to add to her collection. The research into eco-friendly clothing gave me the idea to use it as a basis for my lastest project, interdisiplinary. Which I went on to use.

Found out that we're going to have to do a presentation towards the end of this year as well, on our first year here in Leeds, using these Blogg's as a source. As the Blogg is supposed to have been updated regularly since started in September..

Forgot to mention my elective anywhere, so I'll add it in here. Quite enjoyed the week of photography it's something I've always enjoyed doing, probably since going to New York on a Photograohy/Art trip at secondary school.
Here's one of the photo's that I took for my final selection, which was looking at the way light and lighting can affect photography and the purposely taken photos that use long shutter speeds to creat great images like the photos off this website which I used for research, 'http://www.smashingapps.com/2009/12/12/45-breathtaking-examples-of-slow-shutter-speed-photography.html'
