FMP Diary

Today, we spoke about crating a checklist for ourselves to see where we are up to. To be honest, I have already made one for myself because I like to be organised. This shows what we need to include and how to improve. The brief - Written by you! Statement of Intent Mindmaps Moodboards Artist Appraisals  Artist Responses  Primary Imagery Development - what pathway are you working on? Experiments - Screenshots to show how.  Final outcomes  Evaluation Of course research has to be involved about what you are creating and in my case, I've researched ethical brands etc.  When looking at this checklist, I need to improve my primary imagery and take more images and create mind maps and mood boards to show what ideas I can use and ideas of what to develop. Also, I need to continue annotating my work and not fall behind on it. This afternoon, I will start peer reviews on others and have others review mine of course.

Over Easter holidays, my plan is to complete 5 actions and complete it so I can continue what I am doing after the holidays. I hope to take further primary images through holidays, which will be mainly textures for my experimentation. I will probably take them in Bury as I know places that will do a range of textures like 'Carpet right" and clothing shops. Also, I maybe take images in supermarkets to create other stuff like my practitioners.  Also, I hope to finish my experimentations for design ideas to go on some of my clothing and I also want to start having mock ups of clothing to start adding to an online shop. I wish to do some traditional work at home, as gill has showed me artists who create urban/ grungy like pieces of designs. I also want to create further patterns for further development for the future of my project. I want to complete my research fully and go through what I have missed and maybe add some more in, if I need to. Lastly, I would like to nea...

Today, I will be continuing my experiments from the practitioners that I have researched and to do this, I will need photoshop/Illustrator and my six site to create, and apply to the site, which would be ready to annotate when finished. I will not need any help, but if I achieve this, again I will create ups for my clothing etc.  ... We discussed peer reviews yesterday. For example; why we need it and how can it help us with our project? This image shows what we spoke about, but also it will push us to do peer reviews to get that higher grade. So tomorrow, I will be starting my peer reviews of what I have done since I have started.  ... At the end of the day, I continued with experiments and finished 2 practitioner designs, but I didn't get chance to create mock ups as I haven't finished my experiments fully. Over easter, I should be able to finish them off, with the mock ups and start adding them to my online shop. 

Today, my target is to continue with my developments on Photoshop/Illustrator and apply them to my wix and I will also do some traditional work as well. To do this, I will need my wix account, my primary images and Photoshop/Illustrator and to be honest, I don't think I need help with this part of the development, but I hope I get peer reviews in the future for my work. If I achieve this, I hope to start creating mock ups for my online shop and see what I can do. We also discussed how long we have left till the project finishes, it seems like ages away, but I know it'll fly by, but at the moment I on track of my work. ... At the end of the day, I have achieved some more developments and have created different types of traditional techniques by using ink and paper. Unfortunately, I didn't create mock ups, but I have a lot of experimentations to finish before doing so. 

Even though it is a day late on my blog, yesterday I continued with my development and to complete this, I used Photoshop or illustrator to develop ideas for my clothing and give me ideas of what I can do to promote my brand further. I didn't need any help, but I hoped to start annotating on my wix site. Unfortunately, I didn't get chance to annotate some of my work, but once I have finished my designs, I can start moving forward with the promotion impact of my project. ... Today is a Saturday, but all I am doing today is to start getting my online shop ready for my clothes and accessories. 

Today, my target is to take my primary imagery to help me start my development of experimentation. To do this, I will need a camera and models/textures to take pictures. I won't need any help from my tutor etc, but once I have achieved this, I hope to start creating ideas for my clothing brand and to put them on my wix site. ... I took my primary images in bury from the market to the rock, which is a shopping center. I started y development, but I didn't have time to complete the designs. Hopefully, I will finish my designs with mock ups next week so through the half term, I can just apply them to my online shop.

Yesterday, I was at a dentist appointment so I was unable to do a lot. Today, I will annotate my development of the logo design and think of what images I should take to help me start developing ideas for my clothing. To complete this I will need my wix site and pen and paper. I will not need any help, but when I start thinking about imagery, I may ask what other imagery I should take. Once I have completed this, I hope to take the images of what I need to start me off with development. ... Today, I completed my annotation for my logo designs and started to think about what to take images of for my primary imagery. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take my images today, so my goal is to take my imagery tomorrow to help me start my development to move forward. If I don't achieve this by the end of the week, then I could fall behind. 

Today, I will be continuing with my logo designs on photoshop and see which design is suitable for my overall logo design. To do this, I will need photoshop and my Wix site to finish and annotate my designs. I don't need any help with this, but once I finish this, I hope to think about my primary images and mock ups to start designing clothing.  ... I finished my logo design in photoshop/illustrator and applied it to my wix site. I haven't annotated it yet so next lesson, I will continue to do that and think about my images and what I should do next. 

Today, I will be continuing with my logo developments and evaluate what I have done. To do this, I will need Photoshop and my wix site to do this. I won't need any help, but once I have achieved this, I will ask my peers which design is better and which I should choose for my final outcome. If peers like 2 design, I will create further developments as well. ... At the end of the lesson, I finished my logo/typeface developments and started to use photoshop to create the digital versions. However, I didn't finish them by the end of the day so tomorrow I will continue to do that as well. 

Today, I will be continuing with my logo designs and will start developing ideas for what I want it to looks like. To complete this, I need a pen/pencil, paper, scanner and wix to scan and add to my site. With this, I may need advice from my tutor and see what can be produced further. If I achieve this, I will improve my designs and start developing the ideas on Photoshop/Illustrator. We also discussed how long we have left, what we need to do and what our work needs to look like. ... Through the lesson, I have developed other names and designs for my brand, and have named it 'Together'. It has many meanings and it links up with what my brand is; It's an ethical brand, who recycle old clothes to new etc. I haven't yet developed digital designs yet, but that's my next job to do. I hope to start them at hope and see where I get up to. At the moment, with my action plan, I am over my target of what I need to do each week. If I keep up with it, I could fin...

Today, I'm going to start developing ideas for my logo designs and then scan them in to apply onto my wix, and I will also be developing traditional designs as well. What I will need is pencil/pen and paper to write and draw my ideas down, I will also need a scanner to scan in the work. After break, I will use paint, inks and newspaper to create collages to let me develop in depth with the studio work. I may need some help from my tutor for my logo designs, but other than that I will just crack on. If I achieve this, I will start illustrating the ideas on Illustrator. I could also create further logo designs to improve them as well. ... Overall, I have achieved developing ideas for my logo design, however I didn't scan the ideas just yet as I would like to develop further with the ideas. The rest of what I wanted to do today will be done tomorrow in my lessons. 

Today,  my target is to finish my research and see if I can start developing ideas for my logo design. To complete this, all I need is research material like the internet and books. If I finish my research in time, I will start developing and show what I have started to do. ... Today, I've nearly finished the work and with my spare time, I will finish the research off and by the new week, I will start thinking of primary images to take and develop ideas for my brand. Once starting that, I will be more than on time. 

Today, I'm continuing with my research to keep up with my project. To do this, I will be using my Wix site to talk about what I have researched and I will use books and the internet to help me find what I need. To be honest, I will not need any help and if I complete my research, again I will plan what images I need and start developing logo items to start my branding. ... I finished the day off by finishing some research, but I didn't finish all of it and hopefully by the end of the week I hope to finish most of my research and start developing ideas. https://graphics2cd.wixsite.com/thefmp

Today, my target is to carry on with my research and hopefully I'll finish my research in time to start developing ideas of what to design. All I need is my Wix site and the internet/ books to research the different things that I need to look at and again, I will ask my tutor if there is anything else to add to my research pages. If I finish all of my research today, my plan is to plan what imagery I need to take and start thinking of logo ideas to begin my clothing brand. ... Overall, I have done some research again, but I need to continue with my research tomorrow and make sure I complete  my work in time. graphics2cd.wixsite.com/thefmp

Since I have just started this blog, I have started my work from the 28th and thought I need to do this blog before I screw my project up because I wouldn't haver done it. So since the 28th of Feb, I have done my research on artist appraisals and responded to their work with how I feel. I then looked at different things that I could research that is linked to my work. Today, my target is to continue with my research in college and see how I far I get with it by the end of the day. To complete this, all I need is Wix, and research resources like the internet and books. I will also be doing traditional work after lunch with Gill to start experimenting with different textures and learn new techniques. I may ask for some help from my tutor to see what else I can research to push me forward to that distinction and would help me understand further with what I am doing. If I finish my research today, I will plan what primary Images I should take and start to plan my logo ideas or resear...
