Just a quick list of new changes I want to make to get myself into gear for this module:

• Small sketchbook for the module - for keeping on me at all times. Sketch anything inspirational - even unrelated things can create a conversation that could lead onto something interesting and relevant.
• Large sketchbook for the module - for 'sit down' work.
• Create a digital 'Texture bin' - a library of photographs to be built up over time for inspiration and resources.
• Treat the blog posts as a 'best of' and an area of reflection for things studied and found in the sketchbook and research.
• Always be reading relevant material.
• Time-planning and eliminating procrastination.

With the briefs written, and a final day of organising done, third year is about to begin. Looking forward to seeing what is made of my plans and which one I choose. I'll probably post them up later, but for now the themes are Visual aesthetic/music video, Storytelling/self, A tribute to empiricism, and Social anxiety/self perception.

All stop-motion based of course ^_^
