Okay, so over the Xmas Holidays I haven't really updated the blog due to my laptop being in the shop after a failed hard-drive, a small heartattack and a complete loss of work. As in...all of it. This has just been an example of how 'awesome' my holidays have been. So, after the research of Dr Anna's essay, it became difficult to write it up. Add to that the Xmas days off (which meant delays for getting back my laptop), New Year days off and then snow (and my birthday. I thank you. I have now joined the ranks of 20 year olds) it wasn't a productive time off. Oh and how I'm paying for it now.
Today, a week late (due to being snowed in. Apparently Mr Brown doesn't believe that people who live in the countryside need to earn a living as well so most roads weren't gritted, resulting in some horrific deaths) I have handed in my Dr Anna essay. I'm pleased I've done it, however, it was so rushed near the end I won't be expecting high marks.
War On Want's deadline is now upon us on Friday and since the last time we spoke I've already changed my idea a number of times. I'm now looking at reversing the way charity sells themselves. They give you the problem and then tell you money is the solution. What I'm doing with mine is the reverse- ie I ask for money up front and you, the audience, can find out why for yourself. Audience participation. Simples.
So for the poster, I have a crappy little doodle, which today will form into a proper idea. And for the second dimension, after some brainstorming (I may be in love with Chelsea. For future reference- buy an engagement ring) I'm looking into kinetic typography, which I've wanted to do for a while, and a pamphlet that fits into your wage packet.
A little adversity is good for some people.
