App design is difficult! Did some drawings though and I'm sure it will come together... I'm obsessed with this new typeface, it has so many weights! 😮

[y2-reflectivejournal]

It's been a while since I last did one or these. I've spent a fortune on a mock up but I absolutely love it! I wish they were real... Maybe I can look into making some after hand-in.

Next step: App design

[y2-reflectivejournal]

I wish this was real. I could imagine making a whole bunch of different ones maybe even have famous people designing them.

They can then become a bit of a collectable.. Like in guides or scouts

Why are patch mockups so expensive?!

[y2-reflectivejournal]

Been struggling to get into studio lately and have imposter syndrome on the daily but getting through it. I've done my logo!

Next step: poster concepts (something that you could see on the streets and become familiar with but it doesn't scream and shout. Much more palatable

[y2-reflectivejournal]

Okay so it's been a while, whoops.. Can't say a lot of work has been done since.

With covid and my mental health I've been really struggling to get a grip on work. My meds have kicked in and it feels like I have no energy.

Next step: See if you can get an EC

[y2-reflectivejournal]

So I've developed my idea a little more. I'm drawn to this cursive but retro style. Not like a merging together but definitely more flowy then my usual style.

Next step: I'm gonna have to work on some customised typeface for the logo and then a mark.

My brain still isn't doing to well...

Why is everything to do with adventure so... Sand serif and stern.

More like blue

Less like pink

This coding workshop is killing me! Feels like I've got Year 7 ICT Ptsd. To be honest I've managed to keep up (mostly)... Just feels like my brain is going to explode.

[y2-reflectivejournal]

I've got a proper brief!! Finally 🥳

Develop a scheme aimed at 18-30 year old which increases regular access to subsidised taster activities.

[y2-reflectivejournal]

Still brainstorming and there's a lot of ideas circling about!

[y2-reflectivejournal]

I haven't done much work recently I've been in quite a dip. I feel so unproductive at the minute. HELP

Also... I've chosen a new idea which feels more relevant to me at the moment. All about finding joy. Not sure exactly which direction I'm gonna go yet. Next step more brain storming!

[y2-reflectivejournal]

I'm still not sure what to do?! I've done a bit of research on the finding people by music idea and it already exists.

I can imagine an super vibrant app with outdoor pop up events! Like little festival stages on the middle of town. So people who enjoy it come closer and interact...

[y2-reflectivejournal]

So this new project seems really interesting, I really haven't thought what I want to do but trying to solve the bigger problem and then change it to something smaller is seemingly quite difficult..

I did have a bit of a brainstorm earlier though and I just really like the idea of working with something thats been done but thinking of an original concept (business wise)

IT’S DONE, IT’S DONE, IT’S DONE!  I THINK MY PUBLICATION PROJECT IS FINALLY DONE!!

I Still need to check with Mafalda and make sure that it’s got everything needed but that’s it. I can’t brain about it any longer. It’s been edited, printed, folded, stitched and wrapped. I’m not doing any more it is what it is. 

Overall i’m actually super happy with how it turned out, there are a few errors which i would point out but they make me sad so i don't want to but nothing that i would say is a major issue (like detrimental to my grade). There’s very little experimentation and i have just done a lot of things for the sake of them being down but ....oh well.

I’ve got a meeting with Mafalda tomorrow to discuss the whole things and see if i can hand it in this afternoon. I would absolutely love that! Tell me a early hand in isn’t progress anyways.

Still working on those working slides... they are never ending and it feels like i’m drowning in them. I just want to get this finished and never have to think again. 

It’s been going on for so long now that i genuinely think i’ve lost interest in the grade ( like obviously i want to do well but its not my main thinking).

I JUST WANT IT DONE!!

It somehow seems to be more like pulling teeth now than ever before which i think is down to it being so close to finish. It’s getting printed though which is super exciting, I’m collecting it on Wednesday 

Tomorrow i will: 

- Finish the working slides even if its just rough ( they just need to be done)

- Start thinking about the specification and getting that down with clear annotations

10th February 2022

It’s been a week. Somethings have been done (all the previous lists) but it still seems like i’ve for so long left to go on the 2 Ec projects. I know i got them extended i was really struggling but my brain keeps telling me that i should be using this time to get a better mark. I just need to justify to myself that Images in the right course!

I really hate that i got extensions. I don't think i would have even had a pass otherwise but they seem to have already eaten up into my work time for the new project. I’m trying to work simultaneously but it’s so difficult when i wasn't it to be perfect.

Tomorrow i will: 

- I’m gonna get it printed! Octoprint in town seem to be the best and it’ll be exciting to work directly with a printers. 

- Covers 100% complete and put into the presentation 

- Start the working slides for the project we’ve just started so i don’t fall behind (again)
