summary of the week

a good and bad week!
I loved Tuesdays lecture with Claudia. I've wanted to learn about illustrator since I was out on one of my placements. The graphics ladies used it all the time and I tried it a couple of times but it found it so hard. But now we've had a go I feel so proud of my first flat. I'm not too bad at drawing flats but I think this looks so professional. Another string to my growing bow! tehe!
On the other hand I've had a mare of a week with the rsa project! I feel like I'm being really lazy with it, but how can I be when I'm at my desk working at every earth giving moment!!! It was not going anywhere.......So on Tuesday night I started again! I edited my proposal and recreated my mood board. I feel I had too many influences, too many things to include so I hit a brick wall! Couldn't for the life of me think of any decent ideas!
I've now just got one main influence, which is butterflies, and I feel much better and confident about it. I want shape, style, print and professionalism to be the main image, but I want vibrant colour and a confident 'work hard play hard' attitude to shine through. I feel I can do this and provide lots of ways of accommodating all the essentials a woman would need on a city trip would need. I want to be able to start my toiling this coming week, whether its Monday or Thursday night.
