Night Sky Map & Planets Visible Tonight in London (timeanddate.com) I decided to try to join images from skymap to used as a base for my idea. I took images from north, south, east and west with a view to joining them. When I put them in photoshop I realise that because they are from […]

Continuing research. I am thinking about how I could possibly take my ideas from sketchbook to something that could be understood by others, with the technological abilities that I currently possess. I have had a look at how to create a continuous zoom illustration and my first thoughts are to have a go at something […]

Science Museum Research Having now watched the intro film and the possibilities that could be developed I an quite excited about getting started. As yet I haven’t thought of outcome but the immersive experience is feeling promising. I will start by looking at predictions of movements in our solar system, as this is what the […]

How many seconds in 5 minutes = 300 300/20 = 15 slides (give or take, some will be faster) How many words are in a 5-minute presentation? A five-minute presentation is approximately 700 words long. The average person speaks 120 to 160 words a minute, which means the average five-minute presentation is 600 to 800 words 700/15 […]

Your research task this week is to carefully read, analyse and reflect upon the four ‘Industry Set’ project briefs. After listening to the first lecture, and the suggestion of not overlooking the science museum brief my first thought was to choose something else. I have an inbuilt something that makes me want to do the […]

Week 3 Mystic Mog After a dog and cat conversation with my daughter, she described merlin (cat) as Mystic, I immediately thought Mystic Mog, brilliant! Just googled Mystic Meg and she sadly passed away 9th March 2023 aged 80. I wonder if she knew it was going to happen on that day? Interesting to learn […]

Firstly I will drop in my new and updated brief. Throughout time human civilisations have tried to predict what will happen in the future, perhaps for affirmation that what’s ahead will be good, to have a clear path through uncertainty . These ancient practices are still used today. I know from my own experience that […]

After a false start, which I have have shelved for later in the course, due to it being too big for the allotted time (a study into Lithium mining and its effects on local eco systems vs the Electric Vehicle market and air pollution, an awareness campaign). I have decided to look closer to home […]

This weeks challenge excites me more than the past couple of weeks. i have decided to look at Phillip Pullmans, His Dark Materials. I first came across the story when the BBC made the first book, Northern Lights, into a TV series in 2019. I enjoyed it so much that I bought the book, it […]

After the lectures and resources I first thought about how messed up the world I’ve spent my entire line in is. Men and money and power and corruption, and being ‘fed’ information to keep the masses in line. A strange world. I already knew this but the ‘hypernormalisation’ film really bought this home. Hide in […]

My initial thoughts when asked to choose a poem, was to choose something from ‘The old Possums Book of Practical Cats’. A book I remember studying, in music (Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical) I had images in my head of fonts made up from the lythe shapes of cats, kittying across the page. Whilst this still […]

To me this brief has echoes of week six: noticing the ignored. To find an emotion that fits my town is quite a tricky task. I have started with a few words that describe the town and will hopefully come up with an emotion. I would like to add that, the like noticing the ignored […]
