Day 333.

I'm feeling quite inspired today, but I'm not really sure what I would use this for, so it's going here.
I think it's because of finally getting my half-Chinese portrait taken.

Day 328.

So, I've been playing around with layouts a bit for the half-Chinese project. I feel it wrapping up but I don't know how to finish off the research.

Day 297.

I'm so pleased with myself. I'm bang up to date with all of the work for my half-Chinese project, now all I need to do is get onto the same level with my dissertation, I think it will be best to put a day aside next week as whole of this week after Wednesday is full, you'll see.

Day 294.

This is Rishi Ghosh, he's half-Chinese, half-Indian, a pretty interesting mix. He's an actor who lives in London, he said he might bring his younger sister over to help out with my project which would be cool. I thought I'd put this un-edited version on as I'm so happy the lighting is finally working properly.

Day 286.

I'm so happy that my shoot today went well that this is today's 365. Not only was this guy really nice, but everything went according to plan and nothing broke. I hope the rest of the week goes well...

Day 284.

So today was full of sod's law.
I had a shoot arranged for my project that I cancelled but the guy didn't get my message and turned up anyway, I didn't want another shoot like yesterday so I sent him home, about 5 minutes after he left, UPS turned up with the replacement parts - couldn't even make this up. This is why deliveries should be made in the early morning.

Day 263.

So, today was a bit of a rush and I think I narrowly avoided a hangover on top of everything else.
I was back into Uni today and they went over how thing are going to work this year, I'm literally in 6 hours (in one day) a week. I've decided I'm handing out a few flyers to get some models for the project, it calls for being at least a bit proactive. I just hope it works, I think I'll try emailing some more in a couple of days.

Day 123.

This is the sweet set up I had this afternoon to get my final prints done. Judging from the week's images so far, can you tell that I have a dreadline coming up?
I'm pretty much done now though, so today has been a productive day despite me starting it out as though I was going to get murdered. My article only needed a few basic tweaks and it now looks much better, the spread is mounted on sticky-back foam board (probably the best innovation of all time) and my final PDF is on a CD. Bring on finishing the RDB and having a relaxing weekend.

Day 122.

My bin is full to the brim with paper, I am getting very nervous about this project, even though I know there are some people who aren't even nearly finished and I am on the home-straight. Why do I do this to myself, I even know that I'm not actually too bad.

Day 119.

So, the InDesign for The Body unit is done, all that's left for this unit is the book work that's piled up whilst I've been working on the computer. I'm quite pleased with these, they should look quite good when I print them out on A3, that day isn't going to be a fun one. At least once all that's done, my work for my second year will only needed to be handed in and I'll be free for the summer. I hope to be toiling all day tomorrow, let's hope I can pull some motivation from somewhere...
