LOCKDOWN UPDATE 3

Having to work at home for this project has given me many challenges to face, a three dimensional based project which has to be done collaboratively when we are lacking in resources and software and basically having to change our idea is what we have to be on board with. My laptop that I currently use is quite slow, being able to run google documents but crashes often. Being able to use software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign or anything else on Adobe Cloud will be near impossible to run on my laptop due to storage and quality of my computer. 

 

Due to this I will be trialing making mood boards on both my computer but also trialing using editing applications on my phone, which works better than my laptop. I’ll see what is possible on my phone however I am aware it will be more time consuming.

 

Also limited resources in my university home has also been brought to my attention, I have some watercolours but I don’t have brushes, some soft pastels and oil pastels which I am not the most confident in using.

 

The beginnings of my sketchbook were made on Google Slides where I was going to print out my slides to use in a physical sketchbook before universities closed all of their libraries. Google Slides would most likely crash a few times while trying to compile a large document used for my sketchbook therefore I will, according to the advice on the emails teachers have sent out to us, be using my blog as my sketchbook for the future. 

 

As a result I have made sure that each of my blog posts are very more in depth, I’ve gone back through my blogs and I will feature research, notes, sketches and drawings, like I would with my sketchbook and have them detail the journey from the beginning which has been quite time consuming but will hopefully show the flow of the project
