Over the past week, I've been doing even more researching and sketching for my Graded Unit! I've also been making a ton more models for my experimentation.  Throughout all my research this week I've been looking into several different areas. I've picked up some more leaflets/flyers and put them in. I've also put in nice examples of posters that I found on Pinterest....

Over the past few weeks I've been popping into lot's of charity shops and been to a car boot sale. From these little ventures I've picked up a few bits and bobs that I'd thought I'd share!  So I realise I've said that I'm on a book buying ban! However, this does not include books from charity shops, car boot sales, etc! And...

The week kicked off with an excessive amount of pinning, cutting, typing and gluing for getting things sorted for my first mentoring session!

Look! We're kinda back to weekly words! I know it's been a long time but I've just wanted a little break from this little series for a while. I've been mainly busy with college stuff but I've also been just trying to think of designs and such for making and putting onto products. It's quite hard to be honest cause I keep feeling...

This past week has servilely been an emotional roller-coaster. At the beginning of the week we had to present our final e-courses for our Client Presentation Unit and I am really bad doing these types of things in the way we had to present them. I really hate doing these and it didn't help that one part of our 'e-course' didn't work at...

It's based on quite a 'taboo' subject. However, I changed my mind with these because I want to post what I enjoy and because the book...
