PROGRESS TUTORIAL 1

ATTENDANCE – evaluate your attendance and identify any issues that may have affected your ability to be in and on time.	Comments I have attended all the timetabled sessions I should have. I could possibly utilize any non timetabled studio time better, however, living quite far away from college now means I have to take the traveling distance into consideration.

ISSUES TO BE DISCUSSED //How to ensure I fully adhere to each of the marked components on each brief in order to achieve the best mark possible. //Are any obvious learning outcomes which I do not seem to be fulfilling?
BLOGS. Evaluate your use of the course Blogs. When documenting, recording and evaluating your work, interests and progress	Comments I need to work on building up my PPD blog, I need to remember to blog any crit feedback I receive on there when doing so on my design practice blog. I also need to build up an archive of design studios, business cards and design work that interest me; I have an awful lot bookmarked on my mac but not blogged as I did not feel they fitted in with my current work (but now know I can blog these onto my  PPD blog). Other than that, I feel I use my blogs considerably well on a day to day basis to ensure that I do not fall behind with my blogging.

CURRENT PROGRESS Evaluate the strengths and areas for improvement in your current progress in Level 05 of the programme	Comments My punctuality has ben particularly good on the course so far.  I feel I am beginning to work on ensuring my designs have a concept behind them which is relevant to the task in hand rather than my designs being purely fictional. I have realised it may take me a while to build this concept, however, I produce better designs in doing so. I think my concept building has also already improved, as this was an area of the design process I have struggled with since GCSE stage. I need to explore more design ideas and consider variety before focusing in on one. I need to ensure I remain organized with my all my briefs and work set from workshops as I can envisage how easy it would be to get behind on work if I were to let this slip. I will continue to do so by making regular to do lists and time plans.
