Deadline approaching!

It’s nearly deadline time
So fashion concepts and new media is nearly over.... thank god! This wasn’t the most enjoyable project for me. I have got everything done, but I feel that it’s not the best work that I have done, or that I could have done, but I think stress and annoyance has made me just make do with what I have done this time, which is something that I never usually do. But I didn’t see the point in getting myself completely worked up over something, at the end of the day it’s just one project so I’m ok with that.
My video I think is probably the best part of the project, although at the end I think I may have slightly rushed it and became a bit messy just because I wanted to get it finished. After sitting at a Mac for 8 hours straight, I just wanted it to be done and out of the way.
I have put the techniques that I learnt in digital realisation into my video with the use of flash, and illustrator work, so in that instance I think it’s pretty good, and the images and video that I have got really link well with my concept, but I think I may have overdone it with the layering of videos, I think some stuff I should have just left plain, and it would have still had the same effect, but oh well there’s nothing that I can do about it now.
I have just a few more bits left to do for the project, just a few things t finish off and make sure they are decent enough to be handed in. The portfolio design package I have done, I’m not sure if its good or not. I have put all my final ideas in and used illustrator and Photoshop to do it, but I’m not sure if it looks professional enough. I’m thinking that I should have hand rendered some more of it, just so there was some variation and made the pages more visually interesting. I have put some small hand rendered pieces on, just to add excitement, but I think some of the main content could have been hand rendered as well. But I am feeling ok about what I have done so I’m just going to leave it as it is now.
The next thing to focus on is my critical studies essay, I spoke to my tutor about it the other day and he gave me some pointers of what I should do, he said what I had done so far was pretty good though. So that has given me a bit more confidence about it, as last year my essay wasn’t particularly great. Today I think I’m going to read through it and make some amendments and see if I can make it a bit better. So hopefully this time I will get a decent mark for it.
I also need to start doing some work for the portfolio pieces, but I think I am just going to work on that just before we leave for Easter and over the time off, But as I am doing my work experience at that time as well I think it’s going to be pretty tight on time. We also have our group business presentations to sort out, which are the first week back after Easter so that’s another thing that we need to do... and there was me looking forward to some time off. Oh well aye.
