Professional Project:
In my professional project I tend to lean towards my weaknesses which to me is excelling in Adobe Illustrator, I say as this is a weakness as can I ever remember the short cuts and layouts, but I do give illustrator a good go. However that doesn’t mean I’m perfect and that’s what I want to be, defining perfect there’s no such thing but in want it to be my style perfect and to do that I need to at lets be able to use the short cuts and learn how to create a content, I tend on doing this with challenging myself to enter competitions and work with illustrator not just Adobe Photoshop.
Another weakness would be environments, I don’t like drawing buildings, sceneries, wildlife…ect. that is why I use photography, I find it easier to use take picture and inhansing then with my artwork in Photoshop than having to draw them and I think it is time to get out of the habit and start making some real art. To do this I will make an environment by traditional drawings and include photography and Photoshop for a competition there for I am throwing myself into the deep end but without looking like a complete mess, a once I’ve do that I will start creating things with the Riso and make prints from block shapes th a look like buildings. So on so forth until I gain more confident and add the environments to my book.
Personal project:
Weaknesses have been said I will say my literacy needs to be over ruled, unfortunately I do have dyslexia, I don’t ty and let that stop me but it is a struggle to get things done, i want to change that though and to do that I’ve started reading a book, a good book of that and I’m already 3 chapters gone, the book has old English which has confused me at first but realise its a Welsh written author then made Sense after 35 pages past. It’s made me understand structure and flow but I’m not quite there yet, that’s why I think I will accept help and from that I have a fantastic tutorwho has helped me for the past 2 years, a support team on campus, also my boyfriend’s mam who is train mentor for children and adults with specific learning difficulties. To improve my spelling I’ve been doing word searches on the daily over the summer, before bed and free time. It has helped but spell checker is my life saver how ever to be a teacher as I’m intending to be I have to realise that its not going to be there all the time but in a whole I guess people just need to realise it is a learning struggle that I live with everyday, but that won’t stop me from give my all and teaching myself to read and write in a more advanced way than having to just explain myself all the time.
Personal Project: the whole year
For the whole year I want to create a multi textual children’s book based on foxes (they my favourite animal) and have it based around children and children with specific learning difficulties.
