Uni : Round 2, new room, new project and more!

Can't believe it's already November! Loads of things have happened already this new academic year.

1. I now live in what I'd say the best room of halls, the corner on the 21st floor, the lifts are annoying but the view sure is worth it.  (I'll post photos another time)


2. Our first project - to design a typeface.
It was a really hard project but I got through. Here's what I came up with -

We had to choose an instance, and I chose time Timetraveling In Switzerland. I chose it for a challenge as you may have realised Swiss Minimalism isn't my style. At all.

But there you go, I worked hard for 4 long weeks and managed to finish in time, and do my presentation in the Critique (also majorly scary, but I'm hopefully getting better at them as time goes on)

I chose to use geometric shapes to represent the Swiss minimalist style, and the circles come from clocks - which Switzerland are famous for. The clocks also represent time, and movement; combining both sides of the instance.

Grade to follow!


3. I revisited the company I went to work experience with, to ask them questions so I can complete the case study I have to do this year. It was great going to them as I have spent some time around there and so I was less nervous and could just have a chat with them. I feel I've learnt a lot from the things we spoke about and I think I'll be able to make an informative presentation when it comes to it (Deadline in Jan)


4. I started running - i'm not lying either! Me and Sally are doing the Couch Potato to 5k thing - and I have some top of the range bright pink running shoes to do it in style! (They are pink because I'm poor and so I got the kids version!



So I've not really had time to stop!



A song I'm listening to at the moment:
Tom Rosenthal - Take Care
