"Going Underground" Mr Weller!?

After a long spell away from college, an early finish Thursday and then Wednesday off for...a trip to our very own capital...London! Since the finish on Thursday I had been looking forwards to the away day "down south" but unfortunately it was full off "shoulda woulda coulda". A real disappointment that the Tate was actually shut when we arrived after trailing across London on trains, and tubes. Well I say shut, it was open but the visual fancies were hidden away, behind doors, guards and big white sheets. As I have never seen that side of London before I was really looking forwards into getting an "Artie, or in fact a Designie" head on, so it was a real let down when the truth hit. Not that I didn't enjoy what was to follow but it was a real waste of a journey in that sense, although Level 3 and 5 slides were concurred, I left my mark on the Tate..a fearless child's slide rider!

After the disappointment we then had the day to explore, and explore, walk and very tempting with all the apparent "Joggers" jogging around was jogging. But walking sounded the best to me. I'm sure you all know its an absolutely huge place and you never really well I never really knew what was round the corner...Trafalgar Square, Soho, and Oxford Street in fact. Overall I really enjoyed myself and it was a change of scenarie, and a great experiance. I enjoyed the company all the way there and back and throughout the day which made the day just flow and flow, it was suprising how fast it all actually went.

Thursday and the much argued title of "Task Bombing" take cover for "Jonathan Gee" and the "Hokai Oriental Gouache" I actually enjoyed this, I did initially fear this, but when it came I found them interesting, and brought out a productive side of me and no doubt us all. Definaly an experiance and a taste of what we would have to face in the workplace, havnig to Stop, Drop and Roll. Check out my Designs and let me know what you think.


See you all Next Week. Jamie

I think you did a really good job with the paint tube task. I think the font that you have used captures the oriental theme quite well and the way you have designed it creates a strong visual unit which makes it easy to read.

Thank's alot Ben, I was suprised looking at other peoples at how they had created something differant. All the way round the room there were differant ideas, when I found my self limited, and not noticing many designs I could of used

Re: Jonathan Gee redesign.

What did the preceding lecture say about the proximity of text to their containing boxes [i.e in your headline]? Leave clear space! Please check your notes to see that you recorded the information correctly in the first place, and if you did, try to explain to me why you didn't apply that information.

Steve: The reason behind it is like that is because I thought that we had to keep the same font size, although looking at it now, going on the basis I didn't believe I was free to change the font size, I should of noticed the imperfection and changed my design to aid it
