Since I returned from Paris everything has been really full at uni, After starting my Illustration project and also my Theoretical and Historical Studies I have had very little time for much else.

My illustration project has been a real turning point in my  degree, this project will be the one that decides on my pathway for my final year of studies. For this project we have had to choose 3 starting points all of which have to be of an interest or inspiration to me. The final hand in is 100 designs back and front, 1x line-up of 8 designs, 1x line-up of 8 illustrated designs, a research folder of illustrations and influential people and then finally a collection of all my research and annotations.

So far ive kept quite on top of this work although its taking a long time it just shows the passion I've needed to push myself.  I have really enjoyed this work though as its developed my drawing skills a lot and makes me more confident in what im actually doing. 

This project is due in on the 12th march so until then I shall be very busy indeed! My historical studies involves me creating a business that would work in the real world. We have to produce a business plan for our chosen service/product and then present it as if at a conference. further to that I have to produce a research booklet with all my back-up information and a mini evaluation as to the end result, the second part of this project is not in till the end of semester 2 in april so I am able to research my business idea into more detail. 

As for my photography this is actually on hold for a few weeks until my illustation project is done and handed in. The work load for this is so great and demanding I have had to decide which is more important at this point in time. Seen as photography is more of a hobby unfortunatly this has been pushed aside for now. 

 I have recently made a huge developement with my work experiance hunt, I am in the process of securing a position with two High Street companies in their Fashion Buying departments. Until this is in writting and dates confirmed I shall be keeping Stum as to the names :D although I am extreamly excited!!!!!
