New Assignment

Day 1: New Assignment for this week.
I have been given a new assignment (Culture Vulture). It is a task that needs you to look at a 20th century design icon or product. Had to think of what I could do, here’s a few of what I fist thought of:

  • Marcel Breuer
  • Ross Lovegrove
  • Bauhaus

However these were wrong, as I had read the assignment incorrectly, I chose the person not the product they were famous for. After a rethink I came up with these options:

  • Swiss Army Knife
  • E-type Jaguar
  • Porsche
  • Spitfire
  • Guinness
  • Mercedes Benz 300SL


But my final choice got the vote: Levi’s (Levi Strauss)


Day 2: Another dawn, another day

I am on the way on the second year of the course, completing a variety of tasks.

Tasks Completed/ Well on the way:

  • Handed in my A8 CISSY assignment
  • Finishing off the web plan of A7 IME
  • Finishing off the web plan of A8 CISSY

Tasks that are on going/ feedback:

  • From feedback/ Rewriting the structure of A8 CISSY Task 1
  • Continuing with both web plans for A7 IME, A8 CISSY
  • Continuing with research and write up of A10 (Culture Vulture)

I will add to the list as I think of some more tasks that need to be done; these are the most important at this time.

Thank you for reading, any comments are welcome.

Completed Work: Edited

Day 1: Well finished off all work I needed to do for today, just got to start on my other assignments as i have been concentrating on one more than any other. I need to work on all of my assignments.

Day 2: Well what can we say, managed to finish my work on time. Handed it in today at the strike of noon, well 11.30am.


Feedback: Got some feedback this afternoon from my assignment. So here's a list of things to remember to do:

  • Meet criteria
  • Meet criteria
  • Meet criteria
  • Time Planning/ time management
  • Use the ASSIGNMENT TEMPLATE correctly

I have heard that repeating things too many times is too much, the maximum or optimum number of repeations is 3. It's so that I remember to use the BTEC Critera correctly.


That’s enough of A9 TheBiz though. Let’s start something new for this week, to refresh with some other form of work.

  • A7IME: Started the Web plan (Use Template)
  • A8 CISSY: Start to write up the CSS Research


Thanks for Reading……. Until next time
