SAB and next steps

Today as part of my role as student rep I attended the Student Advisory Board. On Tuesday we had a brief meeting (students only) to discuss any issues we might be having.
I can't really go into what was discussed, I don't think that would be appropriate, however I hope some of the issues brought up can be resolved easily.

After that I looked in on the print room, it was too busy to stay, so I mixed up some procion dyes to take home and work on some ideas I've been having with regards to my next steps.

I'm going to work on two ideas.
1. Weave. I pick up my new loom tomorrow! I'm going to weave to sell products but also to weave designs. I figured I can trial designs out on paper and on the table looms they have at Uni then crate at home.

2. Print. Lino and screen. Camo and animal inspired prints. I'm going to work on the idea of having a hidden message in UV and then print a design on top of it.

Stick to something and do it well.
I'm on my way home to shop at Lidl, walk the dog, clean the house and then do some work.
Looking forward to posting pics of my loom.

Yesterday I spent all day (apart from a lecture in the afternoon) working on my designs in CAD, Photoshop and Illustrator. Here are a few of my designs, next step to embroider/print/do something more with. I'm happy with my progress and I'm glad I took the time to just get on with it. Doing something new is always a bit daunting, but with hindsight you wonder what all the worry was about in the first place. Today its fabric shopping and macrame workshop in the afternoon.

A mixed day yesterday, I was in at my usual time, straight to the MA room and there was a BA tutorial going on. I asked if it was ok to use the room and I was given the go ahead. Great, set up my laptop and start to write my presentation that needs to be in in 3 weeks or so. I'm trying to get this bit out of the way because I know I'll need time to perfect the powerpoint part of the presentation because this is not a strong point for me. My presentation is on Trend Prediction, looking at the history of it, how they go about doing it, how prediction has changed with the arrival of social media and then what Li Edelkoort will talk about in her presentation that I am going to on the 23rd. I need to come up with some sort of argument, so my presentation is different should anyone else decide to do something along the same lines. I'm not sure what this is yet, traditional vs modern trend prediction - is the traditional method still valid. I also caught up with my Cr...
