PPP3: Interim Briefing

With so much time being invested in CoP3 over the past month or so we today had an interim briefing to realign our sights to PPP and Extended Practice. During this session we took part in an exercise to help plan out our future's to varying degrees.

We began by making a list of PPP related things that we have already completed, then we made list for what we want to complete by the end of the academic year, in one year on from that and then within five years.

Then in groups we created a list of foreseeable problems in our futures. From this session I now have a greater understanding of what I want to achieve, and the problems I will most likely face. Additionally, I now know of issues that need to addressed in near the future.

I first discovered Cliff Chiang's work reading DC Comic's Wonder Woman, with his amazing line work immediately standing out to me. He has a great understanding of line weighting that I feel my work currently lacks. I'm thinking that maybe I can incorporate some of his skill into my own character design.

Here is a selection of his work;

PPP3: CoP Submission

Context of Practice is now complete. Never again will a have to write a dissertation, and I'm somewhat sad about it. One of the things I like about CoP is the in-depth research that takes place that is missing from the other modules, which is obviously due to the time constraints. I initially didn't enjoy CoP and was terrified by the lingo I had yet to understand, however over the years I've come to love it, with it becoming my favourite subject.

It felt like a huge achievement completing my dissertation and I'm happy to say that once again I was first to hand in my work at the point of submission. I do worry that this will come back to bite me at some point, but on the other hand I like to think of it as a reflection of my ability to prepare in good time for things, a strong professional quality I display, most of the time.
