Pitifully, it took me several days to realise that I'd approached this task from the wrong starting point. As usual, I missed the bleedin' obvious and focussed too much on the detail.
The sensible - logical - action would have been to develop my designs for Calverley Grounds around each word (as instructed!): 'alternative', 'connective' and 'educational'. Foolishly, I completely missed this critical and, in hindsight, obvious point and attempted to come up with three designs based on other criteria. I'd love to put it down to the snow making my brain too cold to function properly but sadly that's probably not true.
Still, having had a hasty rethink (and redesign), I'm trying to console myself with the thought that this is only the start of the design process and, hopefully, will stop trying to produce the final design in one session. It's worth a shot ...
Is it too early in the academic year to undergo a crisis of confidence?
Hi Isabel I think it was a bit of a weird class this week as we were asked to do sketch designs but had spent quite a few week talking about conceptual drawings, I get these mixed up and its hard to know how much detail we are supposed to put into something. Well its all a learning process they tell us.
