Development diary week 1

Development Diary Week 1

This week was the start of our final major project for this year, We started by listening to what we had to produce over the course of the nine weeks we have left. We then sat down at the computers and wrote our initial response, mine was a rather happy response as i liked that we had to do 3 to 4 different products which wasn't aided by the tutor. This meant that i had full responsibility and creativity when thinking about what i wanted to do and how i wanted to do it. This was the part of the course that i really wanted to do because i could just be me. 

After i wrote my initial response, I went on to doing 3 different mind maps of three potential ideas that i could do for my project. This took a while unfortunately because although i thought of three separate ideas, i didn't know what to write about them or how i could include it in the final thing. I then went on to getting my moodboard altogether. My moodboard had 15 seperate images of the 1 idea i had that i was really interested in which was diving. I had to find the images on the internet and then talk about what they had in common, the differences between them and if any of the photos inspired me enough to make me add a factor of that in my final design.

Later that week i had difficulty getting any underwater photos because of multiple setbacks like me having a cold, my dive partner not having the right equipment, and the good old English rain that made the visibility less than 1 metre. However, i will try my best to get enough photographs to make my products work, or i will have to improvise using different techniques on photoshop to aid me in my final project. 

I am really looking forward to the rest of this project and to see the work that i do in research and experiments to the end product.
