When you get grades the hope fades.

The grades came back for Non-place and I passed but with a 3B which I was not too enthused about. It is incredibly frustrating because I know exactly where I went wrong - that final display was just abominable. All I can do is pick myself and keep going otherwise I think I'd just give up. But mumma didn't raise a quitter.

If I don't learn from my mistakes I won't ever make the grade, it's as simple as that. Yet I am going to allow myself about a week of wallowing in my own self-pity.

Good Grief

Remember how I said I'd stick to my guns and do what I know. That is not what happened.

Instead I am absolutely clueless as to what I might do, I have to do it from a costume design perspective but it doesn't really lend itself to the whole costume design medium. Everything I am thinking of is either installation or digital which I know nothing about.

I do however think that I have found the main subject for the brief as I'm going to look at emojis as a form of language. For the record I do not like emojis at all I find them to be the most irritating little pictures in modern life. They eliminate the craft of writing. Words = good. : D = BAD

New Briefs

Got our new briefs this week. There was me thinking that Non-place was conceptual. I feel like I need to take a course to understand these briefs. I have however taken comfort in one of them which is based around Newspeak from George Orwell's novel 1984. A book which I have read three times. So I think I'm going to stick to my guns and do what I know.
