Celebrating my 21st with my group of girls!

i was 21 on saturday 24th january and i now feel incredibly old!!! mind you it wasn't quite as traumatic as turning 20 last year and leaving my teen years behind, that was awful!!! but 21 does feel old - my next major birthday is 30!! i went out on the saturday with a load of my school friends and next week the lot from uni are coming out for my birthday, johannas(who also turned 21 three days after me) and lauras(who is extremely old at 25, birthday same day as johannas!haha!) good times! 

twin brother Scott(the strange one in the middle with the awful fluorescent cardigan!) just happened to be celebrating his 21st too! who'd have guessed!?!

we also had proper business this week presenting our PPRD power point presentation. me, ivy, laura and daisy did a presentation on japanese fashion which turned out really good. it was extremely long - way longer than it was supposed to be, but there was so much information which we just had to put in. ivy uploaded most of the presentation to power point and sorted out all the fancy bits. i did alot of the image sourcing and fashion district research, we each did a quarter of the presentation each and read out the information which we had researched, so it was really successful. it was good being able to watch the other girls presentation some of them were really interesting and provided alot of interesting facts which i didn't already know about the cities. i think what worked in our favour and helped us to present a successful powerpoint was how organized we were, we had got the majority of the presentation finished last week and ivy added all the other bits over the weekend. come the day of the presentation all we needed to do was sort out what pieces of info we were going to read out and just practice the presentation as a whole.

we had our FDP deadline today which was nice and easy turned up 9.15 left it on the desk and went home! im quite pleased with my sketch books and boards from last term although as ever i left loads until the last minute. this is definitely something i need to sort out. ive been doing this since i was in year 9 at school, right through my GCSE's and A levels and i got a rubbish mark on my foundation diploma course because i just ran out of time. for my final project im going to set myself deadlines and tasks for each week and hopefully that will help me stay on task and keep upto date with the project!

we started Lectra sessions this week, it seems like a really good useful program but really quite complicated! my lectra sessions were from 9.30 to 11.00 and then 3.00 to 4.30 so i had a huge gap in the day. i got on with working on the fashion capital power point with laura, and by the end of the day all of the information was uploaded ready for ivy to add the finishing touches too over the weekend.

Back after the holidays, xmas went so quickly but it feels like i haven't seen the girls for ages! we met Az today our new tutor, see seems really nice, really interested in our ideas and research and very helpful with pushing our projects forward.

we were set a powerpoint presentation task in PPRD. my group - me, Ivy, Laura and Daisy have chosen to look at the fashion capital of tokyo!!!

i took out this book at the library too start us off with our research.

and we started on our initial image research just using google images and below are 2 gems we stumbled across....

^tragic but extremely creative!

^yes she is human! and she clearly never got the message: LESS IS MORE.
