This is the third blog entry this week. Please read the previous blogs before this one. The main task that I se tout for this week has been doing all of my sketchbook designs. The dream idea that I had was just another lost memory that had slipped out. It wasn't very useful for the type of music that my CD represents, although it would have been quite a good design for something more relaxing.
Maybe another CD design could be my mini assignment for the summer holidays? It would give me the chance to use some of the skills I seem to lack, as well as doing some design work in my sketchbook which I enjoy doing. Maybe a little too much design thought goes into my work, as Steve has told me. The aspect of working smart and not hard is revolving all around me now, although I still find it hard to come away from creating loads of sketchbook images. I feel that this is something that I will definitely need to overcome before the second year.
I am now down to two designs. I feel that I may have to try them out digitally before choosing a final one. The choice I would like to go for is a little more complex than I had imagined. I have searched numerous image galleries and none seem to have the image that I am looking for. I decided not to waste too much time looking for this image as there was other work to be done.
I do have a lot of work to complete, although I don't feel that I am behind. Steve thinks otherwise, which has made me a bit uneasy. Most people still have work to do on their website and corporate identity elements, whereas I feel mine are complete.
Over the week coming I will be finishing my sketches and working on my digital designs. I hope to have my digital designs finished for our final feedback meeting on Thursday. I also need to hand in my referral work, which is complete, but a final check over things I feel is needed.
The pressure is now on as deadline day comes ever so closer. I am actually looking forward to it as I want to achieve at least two good grades before the year is out (Sketchblog and A7). Hopefully these two assignments will give me the grades I want and will boost my overall confidence.

I am looking forward to seeing the designs that you ave come up with for your CD after seeing the rough sketches that you have done in your sketchbook. Yes the pressure is definitely on but hopefully we will all be able to hand everything in on time and to a good enough standard!
I think if the sketch book was marked just on idea development you would get top marks for this assingment and probably every assingment this year. Just try not to leave it too late to actually create the designs on the computer because I know finding the right images, fonts and arranging everything how you want with the right colours it does take time.
I know what you mean. I watched Ben for ages trying different combinations of images and editing them. I have started my digital views now I can safey say so Im hoping to have them ready for Wednesday for feedback. Then I can concentrate on the pre flight document and evaluation on Thursday.
Your front cover looks really impressive though.
