"What's Bonding?"

Today was a great day to be in studio as it was full of great ideas, inspirational artwork, fun and biscuits! what more could you ask for right? Today was our one day brief, arriving at 10 o'clock we sat and waited for the surprise assignment. We worked in teams to compete for a little present which were to be presented at the end of the day, a bit of friendly rivalry in the class was a fun way to bond with our teams and have fun. We worked together in the same groups as our solar system projects as to bond more and see how we work together. 

Phil played us some music then the shipping forecast this was to be a major part in the task, we were all given different parts of the sea to draw up an artefact advertising it as a tourist destination. 

Our section was Cromarty, filled with historic and interesting places we wanted to showcase all these to   on our artefact to appeal to the all ages. We came across the fact that it had a pirate graveyard and thought of creating a pirate's treasure map, which then turned into a crazy illustration inspired by the where's wally books. We had a little checklist in the bottom right hand corner for people to cross off when they have visited or seen the things illustration in the picture. We even added a little picture of our tutor Phil to replace wally (you can sot him hiding in a tree).

We all drew different elements which were then scanned in and arranged in photoshop, by then changing the scale to A3 we then printed out our final piece and added more details to tie all the sections together. I feel we connected with our initial idea and executed the final design well showing all Cromarty has to offer, it appeared that the rest of the class also felt this way as we won the prize!  However I felt that today's success was how our group worked together so well, whilst having fun we still managed to produce something pretty good collectively.

My ordered prospectus also came in the post today for Shillington college I'm planning on attending next summer in Australia. I have now emailed the appropriate team part of the University to get things started, but I have a one-to-one tutorial with Simon at 12.40 tomorrow so will discuss this matter with him also to let him know what i'm planning. Having the prospectus will really help show how amazing the course and studio is, the whole book is just so beautifully printed and designed.
