The highlight of this week and the only highlight worth mentioning has got to be finishing my assignment. It’s such an amazing feeling, to hand it in to submission standard and look through the work that you’ve created, and that actually looks good. No better than good, almost professional. It’s gave me a desire to replicate that feeling every time – and even though the path towards completion may not be as smooth – the feeling of completion at the end is like no other.
Early morning on Wednesday we got a lecture from John about our blogs which I found really helpful. He made some clear concise points about what you can and can’t do with your HND blog, which managed to clear up a lot of the questions I had about ideas for my blog. It turns out that our blog can be used for much more than I originally thought, which means over the next few weeks you’ll probably see some different things popping up here and there. I’m planning on doing a quick “how to” some day over the next couple of weeks just to help out some fellow classmates that’s struggling with some of the finer nuances of Blogger.
One thing that has been a problem this week is making changes to my final written work. When it came to it, I kept printing it off thinking I had the complete final one only for me (or James) to spot yet another minor mistake. It’s taught me to thoroughly check it before I print it off, and then to check it thoroughly again once or twice to check for mistakes. That way I waste less time printing things off all the time, and can concentrate on other more important parts of any given assignment. It’s made me realise that I need a more structured way of checking through my finished work, which I fully intend on putting into practice on any other future assignments.
Well, the assignment is handed in, the work is done, the pressure is lifted off my shoulders (for a couple of weeks at least), and I’m off to have a bit of a relax in Prague. I’ll be posting from out there too if I can find an Internet café about with (hopefully) some pictures of the beautiful architecture, and lots of inspirational design pieces.
See you on the other side,
Craig.

Spotting mistakes with other peoples work is so much easier than spotting your own! You just don't seem to criticise your own work as much as others.
Have a good holiday in Prague, I went last year.
There's nothing to stop you arranging a reciprocal check of a colleague's work.
