Once I handed my dissertation in, I started to work on a Self-initiated project looking at the differences between a range of newspapers that I collected on the 18/01. After a few experiments I settled with an idea of looking at the space given to editorial and advertising and then produced a series of visuals for that. The next step on this one would be to extend it by adding different information about the newspapers.
Soon after the dissertation hand-in, we were given 3 new briefs to choose from. From those I picked a tabloid format Guide to the Football World Cup in South Africa. On that project I have managed to design a series of graphics and pages so far, but I have not managed to define a route to take the project further and so I haven't been able to finalize anything.
As the 4th project goes, I didn't feel very excited about any other briefs that were given to us so I salvaged the Metrology brief and since then I have also been trying to work on this. As before, I am still finding it difficult to decide what the project is about (content) and so I have not been able to produce anything substantial for it.
Right now I only have 5 weeks left (including the current one) to finish all these projects. I feel that I have not had enough time this year to do my projects and my work is going to suffer because of that. I just hope that I am able to finalize something for all 4 projects so that I can hand it in and let go of it. Also, I still need to print-out some images for the reference section of my project folders and then label the tabs. I will also need to buy 2 more silver boxes for the presentation. God help me!
