Looking back into my progression throughout Unit 1 I would say that it was quite a confusing time but had good outcomes. I was a little apprehensive and unsure of how Rough Guide was supposed to be carried out. I get quite caught up in things when really I should just do the work the way I want to do it which I guess is what I did do in the end. What I was very pleased with was my blog, I started that as soon as the term commenced because, being at Chelsea last year, I knew that at some point we would need to document things. Having a blog allows me to put all my scribbles neatly into a more readable format and it shows a lot more clarity in my thoughts.
I used the Rough Guide as a chance to do a lot of photography which I really did enjoy because being given such a creative and exciting area like Shoreditch to explore gave me a lot to document through a camera. It did mean that I probably lacked a little in drawing, I do enjoy drawing so if I had a chance to improve on something it would be to have drawn more around the places I visited.
In reflection I would like to think that I executed the Rough Guide Task and Study tasks well. The personal research that I did for the sketchbook had a clear purpose and showed exactly what I wanted to show. I barely included any notes in the sketchbook though as it is not the look I wanted to create, all of my notes were on my blog. I kept it up to date during this period and was uploading all of my new photography. I like writing about things in a comical way as well so I enjoyed taking the information I gathered from locals and writing it in a different way. My blog is very clearly laid out in order to help the viewer find things easily and also for me to be able to refer back to, it has really helped with the development with some of my projects acting as a technical notebook online.
