Half Term

Now i have finished work for another weekend i have the whole week to focus on getting my FMP up to a higher standard,  boosting and finishing any outstanding work to get higher grads as i need to obtain an MMM to get into uni, and also go into college to help sort out the oil painting room ready for our end of year show.

Pole Fitness

^ Lady of the Night ^

^ The Helicopter ^

^ Handstand ^

This blog entry is about one of my favourite hobbies and to hopefully sway peoples opinions about the sport. Iv been doing pole fitness now for 5months and its had a great impact on my confidence and my strength, it is incredibly hard as you are using all the muscles in your body, you become very bruised and its extremely tiring.  But its so much fun !! people take the piss, and laugh at me and i get called a slut, but i would like to see them try and do it.  I have never been able to stick to any particular kind of sport or going to the gym, it just bored me after a month. Pole fitness is the only fitness that i have stuck with and cant get enough of! And through doing this i have met the most amazing group of ladies that i am more than happy to call my friends (:

Blogger Header !

So (we) just finished making the Header for my blogger. You wouldnt believe how much trouble that put me (us) through for something soooo simple !! so Nathan helped me out o & so did Faye hahah but its done now and i think it looks pretty :) what do u think??

Oil Painting Room ??

So its that time of year, the end of year show is coming up and we need a venue for our work ! After the decision to have the show in the oil painting room, we now have to gut it out and paint the walls! I guess the only good thing about doing that is we get to bump up unit 10 by helping out with it.

So im going to document our progress on how its getting on:

So this is the beginning and as u can see we have a long way to go :)

I have taken picture of the wood chip dividers. We have decided to use these for the patrician wall, and to cover the sink in the oil painting room as the white ones the previous years have used just didnt make the work stand out. As you can see the work stands out really well agains the chip board plus i love the texture its different which is exactly what we are aiming for with our show :)

Matt W Moore

For my FMP ( Final Major Project) i am going to design my own ad campaign for Ray Bans. I have looked into Matt W Moore as i love his contemporary vibrant designs.

He is inspired by music, nature & geometry. His artistic influences include Picasso, McEscher, Dondi White, Rime and the list goes on. He is a former street artist and founder of MWM Designs.

He has his own unique style called "Vector Funk" and this was developed in his early years of graffiti and mural paintings. He does a lot of travelling most to places like Spain, Portugal, and Brazil as these countries have vibrant colour pallets that just keep on inspiring him.

London Trip & Lunch with Babs !

On 29th March, there was yet another London trip (for FMP) !! But this was much more special than the rest. because me Molzz and Tezza had lunch with Babs !! hahaha. so we had lunch in the V&A, tezza wont let me forget this but i did have a whole roast dinner ha and then eat the extra potatos! was the best. We got a lovely group shot :) then the 4 of us had a little tour of Harrods i felt like a kid in a sweet shop, that place is the reason girls grow up wanting to marry rich men haha !! i had to go around and find primary research for my FMP so i got pics of POS from harrods and the sunglass hut. Tezza got her bits from The best TOPSHOP i have ever seen. Was a great day :)

To cut a long boring story short, Falmouth didnt accept me, and i thought that was my best interview yet! Wales Here I Come !!!

LCC & Plymouth Interview ! (:

On the 16th March i went to LCC with Teri (: as we had our interview for the BA, when we got there it was packed!! all we had to do was drop our folders off and then leave for 4hours, we did get a little bored but had a good adventure :)

I didnt really like the feel of the uni =/ and a couple days later i was asked to send an online portfolio for the foundation degree, but i didnt bother as i didnt want to do a foundation degree!

On the 19th March i travelled down to plymouth with my friends :) was a really good journey as i slept all the way down there woke up for my interview, i LOVED the campus, and the studios were amazing !! i was kinda falling asleep in a lecture we were all given but non the less i did my best in the interview even tho i was sooooo tired, i didnt think i did to well but i get accepted :D

University !!

On Wednesday 2nd March I went to Newport for my first Uni interview !! I travelled up with my dad, and we was on time right up un-till we got into Newport and we got lost in the one way system, but once we asked for directions 'coz the sat-nav was an epic fail i was running 5min late. But its a total new building it opened in Jan of this year :) i asked for directions at the main desk and i was sent to a huge lecture room and i walked in 5min late and i have everyone looking at me wasn't good !! We all received a talk about the courses and learnt a lot about the new build and student life. Then we all got split up into groups for the different courses and went up to the Graphics/Advertising dept, everyone seemed pretty cool and most of the students were from Bristol or Portsmouth and only a few from Wales. Then our group received a talk from the course tutor and she was great ! I found out all about the course, looked at existing students work and the standard was sooo high ! the adverts the students had created were AMAZING ! if i went to thins uni i would deffo have to learn to use flash but then i would gain a great skill. I thought my interview went really well, i was confident and she seemed pleased with my work, i also got a few tips on ho to present my work a lot better. Before i left i spoke to some more students about accommodation and they suggested that the best thing to do was stay at opal as it was right by the uni and the town. But the thing i was most pleased about was theres a pole fit studio just a few streets away from the accommodation :D if Falmouth is a total fail. i will deffo be going here !! WISH ME LUCK
