Presentation...

Evening all, how'ya doing? As mentioned in my last post, I had to create a presentation on Stephen Gill for uni and today was the dreaded day! After screwing over not liking what I had to work with, I managed to get it all done. 

Going into the presentation I had the usual nerves of knowing I had to speak infront of people, not one of my strongest points by a long shot but hey ho, needs must! To be honest it wasn't all that bad in the end, although my presentation wasn't as strong as others but that's something I can come away with and put into practice in my next one. I said last time that I wasn't happy with my chosen subject, I can now say I'm still totally in the same place! The work just doesn't appeal to me but after having our feedback on the presentation, I have came away with an idea for a series of work what I think could be an amazing set! Feedback is always good to have as it helps me see where I went wrong, where I can go to improve and as with today, inspire ideas for my work. 

With the research we're doing into our chosen subjects we have to create our own series of work inspired by said person, not copy their work, just take some inspiration and use it to our own advantage. Now, being that Stephen Gill used film cameras for his series and I'm going to be using my digital camera for mine, the obvious boundaries are there but as I said, I'm not here to copy him so modern techniques will come into play for me i.e Photoshop, when I learn how to use it! 

'So what is this big idea you keep banging on about Mikey' I hear you say, ah well now that would be telling, you'll just have to wait for the big reveal, which I'll try and do soon as I possibly can for you, in the mean time you'll just have to go about your everyday lives in the knowledge that something is on the horizon! 

Byeeeeee.....
