Just as I am writing this, looking around the room thinking what to put and it appears that I am the most untidy people in the room; with paper all over spreading from my space to the front desk. Maybe this is synonymous of my organisational skills. I feel that is one of the main things I need to work on; it will help me a great deal with my time planning throughout the course and also in the real word. Sign of a creative spirit.
This week has not been one of the best weeks for me. The start of the week was quite a stressful start. I started on the critical analysis; to be honest it made me feel like I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry.
Tuesday was a little better, the morning started off with a tutorial on Page Maker. It is actually easier to master than I first imagined. As soon as you look at it you can see that it contains features that will aid in the assignment layout giving a much more professional appearance to almost every document. Now that I have a very basic understanding on how it works I am going to try use InDesign; I feel that it will be a good thing to explore both pieces of software to be ready for industry.
Towards the afternoon things took a U-turn – Steve wasn’t best pleased with us regarding out e-lecture. We were asked to review our journals to make them more accessible. Although the criteria were implemented, not many of us had actually documented it within our sketchbooks. At the time it seemed like he had over reacted kicking us all out of our small seminar sessions. But I realise that this was to get the point across. It was stupid of me not to actually document my processes as coming from the foundation art we were made to document EVERYTHING. We were told, if it wasn’t documented it wasn’t worth putting in and may as well be discarded; Which I can understand.
As a good point of the week, I think I have finally got the referencing to click

Hi Garry,
A lot of good emotion in this entry. It is good that you can express yourself this well in writing.
I agree with your comment that EVERYTHING should be in the sketchbook.
How do you think the class responded to what I did on Tuesday afternoon?
I chuckled when I read the part about your desk as this is much how mine was for the last 5 years !!
Keep up the good work.
I think your a good leader shaun, and could perhaps be good teaching or something along those lines.
I prefer to think it as a creative haven, rather than mess.
I have started putting my sketchbooks online, however I need to scan the last 20 pages. I got a little behind on that last week.
