(I apologise for one day late, once again i set it to private not public) Another Thursday come and gone, I'm not sure what it is about Thursdays, but I seem to have a lack of attention. I started thinking about my presentation and how best to get my ideas across. Of course I need to start it with a... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 8

Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 7
Hi guys! As I have mentioned in the past, my project is going to involve designing a new typeface, one which would be ideal for airport users.

I think today can be classed as a 'typical Thursday' Meant to be a day spent doing theory, although more practical work was done in the end. Not much else to say to be quite honest.

Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 1
For my first year of college I had to do this thing called 'Personal Development Plan' ('PDP' for short) this was clearly not a great system of confusing sections to fill in on a Word document, this had to be done at the end of every week and, if used correctly, should aid the user...
