I am currently in my final year of foundation Degree Digital Media at Leeds college of art, and I specialize in story-telling using a range of mediums including interactive based content. I would say I am inspired by cartoons and comics, but also the little things that most people don't notice or maybe are not bothered about, like this strange women on the train the other day, I imagined her whole life in 2 minutes! or the way a silverfish freezes up when it feels vibrations in the hope it won't be noticed! OK so I admit I have an overactive imagination, always have, but that is what I like about me and I feel this only helps me in my line of work. My strength as a digital designer definitely lies in my passion for creating a narrative and a mood, I am interested in the visual construction between image and sound and I like to animate using 2D software and my own hand drawings. I want to bring "my world" to life using digital media.....

Distinction!

Yipeee! I got a distinction for my Elective, which was creative writing! only one other in the class got one so that means I'm sort of special! It's made me feel better after getting such a disgraceful mark for my Critical studies presentation, I've done critical studies at this college for over 2 years now and I have always been a high achiever, always getting top marks so to get a pathetic 47 points out of 100 is sickening.
I don't even know if that constitutes a mere pass? It has really dampened my spirits as I'd set myself on getting at least merits for all my subjects, but now that I am failing in Maya too i'm on a real downer, if i fail that too I feel like quitting! after all my goal was to do the BA digital media, if i can't get onto that what's the point? I don't want to leave with a foundation.
Anyway enough of that, I finally got a distinction! after being told I was just a few marks off a distinction for my video project I was absolutely gutted! JUST A FEW MARKS! if only I had planned it out a little better...
My main problem with that was Matt in the AV suite, what a tosser! sorry but he was, I don't know how anyone can work with him or why is he still employed by the college, he speaks to us like we are all thick shmucks who are beneath him! "If your clever, and you know how to read, you'll notice a sign on the door...." was his reply to me when asking what time they re-opened! I was asking because after going in there to edit my video at lunch time I was told I'd have to come back after lunch cause there closed, however the same guy who was in there working then was still there when I came back at one! (hmmmm and they seemed a bit friendly, could it be that he favors fellow saggers?)
Well getting this mark has proved that I can write, despite my critical studies teacher stating that "for the most part my word summery was well-written" the most part?
I wonder if I can do the whole thing again to get a better mark? ok so I didn't discuss the paper but my result was still the same as the others who did subliminal seduction, I still touched on the same details, did some additional research and probably found out more than I needed to, but because I told him I didn't really read the paper, (like an IDIOT) that lost me the marks! If i hadn't said anything, would he have even noticed?
anyway I got a DISTINCTION for creative writing and just wanted to tell the whole world of blog. so there.
