John 18th April



I spoke to John about my plans for my website and that I was choosing to use Wix to help me create it. John was surprised that I was not going to use Muse to create my website completely from scratch as he said I have been to a lot of his lessons on Muse. This is true however I find using computer Programmes such as Muse very challenging as over my three years at university the IT elements of projects have always been the most challenging for me as I struggle to remember how to do things even after taking notes during the lessons. I started creating my website on Muse but the layout of the programme does not suit my learning style it is very technical and what tools should be used for different elements is not clear to me. This also makes me worry that I am going to make a lot of mistakes which will take a long time to fix. Where as Wix is a lot clearer for me to understand. The layout is more visual and what tools such be used is labelled clearly with helpful instructions on how to use the different tools to create different things. Also when designing the website layout Wix shows a lot of possible designs which can be added and taken away quickly. I have found this useful as I sometimes struggle to visualise how I want something to look without a reference in front of me. When using Wix I can create several different ideas in a short amount of time so that I can see which will look the best.

Tutorial with Helen

 I told Helen that I was concerned about getting all of my shoots done and also that there were a couple of my looks that I wanted to reshoot as I am not completely happy with them.

Helen also suggested that if I am struggling with finalising some of my ideas that I should shoot the looks that I am finding it easier to finalise the ideas for first and then develop the more difficult looks.

Sebastian tutorial 29th March

Sebastian liked some of my ideas in my test shoots but mentioned that some of the positions are too much like beauty or fashion poses and don’t tell the story as well as the other images where the poses represent the characters in the stories better.  Sebastian was unsure about one of my looks for the Inky Boys which included liquid dripping from the model’s eye because he felt like it had been done before. I have decided however to keep this in my work because I think that it represents the story well and the dripping ink is a key part of the story. He told me to look at a couple of different photographers that he thought could influence my work. Sebastian suggested finding alternative ways of representing blindness, loss of speak and loss of hearing such as showing the blind person with white sticks. He mentioned someone called John Hull who is blind and says that when he is carrying something he feels doubly blind as he also is not able to use his sticks or hands to try and fe...
