Day 4. evaluate. over and out.

That's it.
All my work is done.
I've completed my mood board, chosen my show reel and even finished my website.
I found this all quite simple to complete and took it one step at a time.
I liked this assignment as now I have something I can use to easily show people what work I have done and to what standard.
However, if i could change anything, I would go back and add some video's which I have recorded and edited together. I didn't add these first time around as I was unable to get hold of copies of them.

Day 3, it's nearly over.

Today I started to create my website.
I used istop on mac. I hadn't used this before so thought i would give it a go.
I came up with the basic idea and layout i wanted my website to have.
It had to be simple, yet keep people interested.
Because of this I chose to only have a few pages.
One for the main page, one for my bio, one for my pictures/show reel then a final one for my contact information.
I arranged my pictures on to the website so it not only looked tidy but also showed a range of my art work.
my bio is short and sweet. It's too the point. Because I haven't done any major work that I can include or anything people would need to know regarding my work. Therefore I felt it was unnecessary to add anything else.
I am pleased with how my website is laid out and how it ended up.

Day two of college life in Rachel's lessons.




My show reel is shown on my website.
The pictures I chose are all ones I have completed in and out of school.
I chose these ones specifically because I think they show a range of my skills and how many different types of materials i am able to use.
You can see from some of the pictures that they pop art inspired.
I also chose these ones as I get told they are the best, therefore I want to show people my best work.


Day one of the college diary


Today we made our mood boards.
Well, at first I thought about what inspired me the most and what things I love.
I didn't want to jump straight into it and come up with something that had no meaning to me.
My pictures on my moo0d board mostly came from ones I have taken myself.
It consisted of friends and family. Because they inspire me everyday in what i do.
I added a few pictures of some of my favourite films, as the emotion behind each film inspires my work, as you will see I create many pictures to do with love and feeling.
This is also the same reason why I chose to add a screenshot from the music video 'just the way you are'. Whereas people care about and get inspired by games, careers and role models, i get inspired by love and emotion.
I included bright colours in my mood board as i hate dark gloomy things. Brighter colours are much better and catch your attention.
You can see from the picture below what I included within my mood board.
