Ebook App Design
We had our second session this afternoon on app design. We did a practice where we laid out some content in InDesign to get a feel for how we put together the content for when we come to design our apps.
I used an old photo joiner that I made last year for my image manipulation module as I quite like the image and it was one of the only ones I had saved on the mac at uni. I think I’m...

I found a nice long list of books that I want to borrow from the University’s library to kick off my...

We studied his work as part of our Image Making and Manipulation module last year and I really love his work so I was pretty excited to be able to go and see some of it being exhibited.
It was spread across several rooms, with lots of his work on display. A lot of it was...

Client Job Two - Building a Website
As our second client project has stalled a bit, Beth and I are going to be designing a website for our photography tutor Luke Salaman. He is finishing his masters degree and wants a portfolio site to show off some of his work. We decided on a wordpress site so that Luke can update the site with new work as and when he wants with no complicated coding involved!
He is browsing through the hundreds...

Norman Parkinson at the M-Shed, Bristol
Yesterday (13/2/12) Beth and I took a trip to Bristol so that we could see the Norman Parkinson fashion photography exhibiton.
Unfortunately the M-Shed is closed on mondays, which we didn’t realise, so we didn’t get to go and see the exhibition! It was a shame , and was massively annoying!! I was really looking forward to seeing the exhibition as I love his work. My current...

Work Experience
I emailed Eat Pictures, in Bristol about some possible work experience. Eat Pictures specialise in food photography, which is something I’m interested in as I love food!! Rob, who single handedly runs the business, emailed me back to let me know that a two week placement wouldn’t be possible as his working schedule is quite erratic and not consistent enough for that. He was kind enough...
