We had to email Anna today with our chosen essay title/subject and research ideas. I am basing mine on Book Design. She is going to email us back with some advice, so hopefully once she has agreed my topic and title, I can get on and research.

We had our first seminar with Anna this afternoon for our essay. She has given me a few ideas on what I can base it on, trying to tie it into my Final Major Project. I need to do a little bit of research and come up with a solid title ready for the next seminar next Monday. Due to the nature of my FMP, I think I am going to focus my essay on the form of the book and the effect of technology on this.
I thought my idea for my FMP was all set and comprehensive. But, I had a strange feeling about it and so I had a tutorial with Kit and Sally. So far I have spoken to Mike Ryan quite a few times, and also Neil. I think the reason I was feeling unsure was that I needed to get a solid theory or purpose to my book to underpin the project. It seemed a bit aimless and I just needed to talk it through again and get some more opinions. Kit and Sally had quite an in depth chat with me and I think I know where I am heading now. I am a very indecisive person when it comes to decisions affecting me personally, and this will affect me personally. Once I have chosen it, and written the Learning Agreement I have to stick to it, and that scares me.
I have been working on ISTD and can see in my head what my final piece will look like. It is just getting it down on my design sheets that is the hurdle I am facing at the moment. I found the website project a real challenge, and due to that, and the hours I spent on it, it was my priority over ISTD at the time, which has resulted in me having ISTD to deal with at the same time as my FMP and essay. I have been doing a lot of research for all these projects and feel like I am getting no where for some reason. I was all geared up and ready to go to London last week, but due to the weather we didn't get to go, and we were sent home from uni on Friday which was the day I had planned out to do everything. I find it very hard to work at home, it just isn't the right environment for me, which is why I am always in uni apart from when I have to work.
