Happy Easter

Hi everyone

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter break and hopefully you don't over do the chocolate.  I am taking my two kiddies to Melbourne and we will be staying with my brother and family.  It is his 40th birthday and we are going out to a Lebanese restaurant complete with belly dancing!

Just an update on the course so far...  I am really enjoying everything about it.  I am loving learning about something I am so passionate about.  I am looking forward to being involved with the Skype session this morning - it should be interesting.

Cheers, Kate

New camera....

Hi everyone,

I am looking to buy a new camera as my old one has died.  Just wondering is anyone has any handy tips.  There are so many different cameras available and it can get a bit confusing.  

Thanks, Kate

I found this exercise to be quite challenging.  I really had to think hard about the descriptions and what that meant in translating this to a typographic element.  Not being able to use images was quite confronting as well.  I wonder how everyone else found this assignment?

Back into it - yippeeeee!!!

Hello to my fellow students.... I have been hanging out to get back into my study after the long weekend.  We have friends staying over the long weekend and they left yesterday, a fun time was had by all.  I am working on my typographic portraits today which is kind of a challenge to create a visual image incorporating a theme.  I had better get the brain working!

Scanner story

Technology 3 - Scanner story

I have chosen these items to reflect my love of the beach and the endless hours of fossicking for treasures.  We live just a stone's throw (forgive the pun) from Hinsby Beach in Taroona and love nothing more than to go for a swim and collect shells, driftwood and rocks.

Off and running....

It is my third day of course and I feel like I am settling in well.  This afternoon is a bit of challenge with the outside temperature over 30 degrees.  A beach swim after school pickup will be amazing.  Back to the course, I am working on LA1 at the moment after a slow start due to not being able to view video.  As with other situations sometimes it is good to just go back to the beginning.  Anyway found a free download called VLC Media Player and it worked!  Must get back to study now....

Day 2 Graphic Design Study

Hi there

Day 2 of study is in full-swing after the system being down yesterday.... I was a little confused to begin with but things are falling into place now.  I am really happy to finally begin after months of looking forward to the course.

Cheers Kate
