MIND MAP

This was done when i wasnt at the college, but I managed to add my own pictures on the mind map. I thought about trasnportation because I see this can help me in my project by maybe making a film or a documentary about how you fly to different locations . 

I asked my colleagues why they chose this locations on the mind map and i got some good feedback, they said that locations influences music, and the sainsbury its like a common shopping location in uk, I didnt really got the idea about the shops but I will try to understand how this works.

Wix website

This is my website . I tried to make it more about location . I wrote what does location means to me and I also put location that include the different religions on different countries.  

I already knew how to do this , it wasn't hard, I mostly used images from there.

I really like the final piece and I am happy with everything I put in there.

Reflective comments 

Week 1.

I did a course review to find out about my skills and what skills I need to improve in order to help me for my project. After this I chose to focus on Photography. 

I also made a mind map to help me trying to understand what the theme location means and what can we make for FMP.

My classmates gave me some ideas how this theme works and how you can just infiltrate this on anything. I chose to put transportation because by plane or what you like you can travel to different location to visit. 

After the conversation with them I think I have my idea for the project.

Another thing that I did was to research a inspirational designer to help me build my project. At this point I did not know how this could help me and I chose a painter and this didn't help me at all. This was a mistake because I am still confused about the theme but I will try to manage to understand it .

I am thinking to do a magazine and for research to choose my cousin as primary research.

This would be a great idea because I have many skills when it comes making a magazine.

Week 2.

Making a website: Wix

I already knew how to make one because in the past we did this multiple times. It was easy for me and not complicated at all. I really enjoyed doing this website because we get to play with things around and make something interesting. I added things about religion and travelling to another country .

I feel that this would be a interesting FMP to create because people can explore your website and read about your ideas.

Week 3.

Contextual analysis 

 When it comes to analysis I was thinking straight to Dexter the series because we had to chose between games, films. I watched it and I really liked it , it gave me some idea to make a short film but I am not really into making films. I feel like this would be too much for me and I will not finish it on time and it will be a disaster. 

I still think this would be a great idea for the project and maybe later I will see if I am going to make it related to location.

Week 4.

I prepared for my Pecha Kucha and I tried to make it really nice for my classmates so I can get a good feedback. I only used images and the script for the presentations was on my notes. 

I presented my project pathway and everything about it . I was a bit nervous but I managed to presented good. I really liked how I presented and also I got feedback that helped me a lot developing my project

Week 5.

I started working on my project and I was putting the pieces together, until I had some problems at home and this stopped me from going forward with everything. I stopped here and didn't do anything until half term.

 Half term Week.

On this week I got everything in order. I did the planning for the layout of the magazine, I got the context writing to put inside the magazine and I managed to edit the photos. Here I finished everything that needed to be finisied.

Photography I took 

Central London 

These are some of my pictures from central London. I tried to take them as clear as possible, unfortunately I had to take them with my phone camera. I really like them because it shows the beauty of London and I can make the difference on my magazine.
