One man's junk...
During this week I have completed some large parts of the first assignment. I enjoyed writing the competitive analysis, as this kind of work was familiar to me. I also enjoyed looking at http://www.tonybenn.net/ as this website is the antithesis of what a good website should be. This provided me with a wealth of material to analyse, and was also rather entertaining to Steve in our group session.
Can anyone beat my record of finding the worst website ever?
In some areas of the assignment I still feel slightly lost, and could do with some issues clearing up. These are mainly formalities, and I am happy that I can construct large parts of the assignment without much help from anyone else. I may have to cut out some of the content so that I do not go over the wordlimit. This is mainly due to the huge amount of criticism of the first Tony Benn website I looked at.
During this weeks lessons I have felt that I can work more independently than I have done in the past. I also feel that in some way the assignment word count stops me from developing analysis further, but I am sure that as the course progresses I will find opportunities use these skills.
My sketchpad is now developing nicely, and already has more content than some of my A-level Art sketchpads. I am slightly concerned about how my sketchpad will look in comparison to others, as my handwriting is not the best. I am considering doing some of my evaluative annotation one the computer and sticking it into my sketchpad, as this will look neater and allow me to reflect on my work in more detail. This is something I will look into over the next few weeks.
At home I have also inherited an ex-CAD 21” Dell Trinitron CRT monitor, which looks fantastic and cost absolutely nothing! My Dad brought it home from work, as it was going to be thrown away. This will be rather useful for the course as the picture quality is excellent. Hopefully over the next few weeks I will be building a new computer to go with it. This will make me feel a lot more comfortable with my self study time, as I have a better equipped working environment.
