I've started getting into a nice little routine with regards to my college work, I usually give myself Monday morning to prepare for things I can do at college on Tuesdays as I don't really work well from home so i've started coming in on Tuesdays. This gives me big help in planning what I need to do and has helped me not get behind in this assignment.
With only under 2 weeks to go until the deadline day this week i've had to make a decision about what my cd cover will look like. On Tuesday I decided upon a design but its when i'm creating it digitally that seems to be the problem, I didn't know whether to design something from scratch or to use an image. I chose to go with the image one as i'm not yet a pro with design software it was just an idea I was thinking and found it hard to do digitally. If I had of chosen my design earlier then I would have proberly created from scratch.
I have decided to design my cd with a beach/sea theme. It is kind of relaxing and just reminds you of lying on the beach listening to the waves crash against the rocks. However if you read someone's comments on my cd choice it is completely different and mentions a lot of dark music. It must be one of us who hasn't got a musical ear.
I have managed to book some time off work near deadline day just so that I have 100% focus on the assignment. And there isn't just this assignment, there is the sketchbook assignment also in which I have a good bit of work to do on before I hand this in. But all in all I am pleased with my progress and don't see a problem coming up in the weeks building upto deadline day.

Hey, come on now, it took me ages to think of that blog title last week.
Did you have a look at the dreamstime site? What did you think?
That's part of the fun, trying to figure out how to do an idea once you've settled on it. Hope everything is going well at the moment, because it's getting really close to deadline.
Even though you think you may not have the skills to create exactly what you see in your mind or in your sketchbook, you should still try because you might be surprised with the results. It's all about pushing yourself on this course, and there's no better time to push yourself than when a deadline is looming.
Can't believe how fast it's flown around.
Sorry Dean, I knew i'd seen that saying somewhere recently.
I've had a quick look at the Dreamsime website, and managed to register. I'll have a good look through at college in the morning as my internet connection has been down since Friday.
