Uni Blog is born

I have made this blog just for Uni purposes. It is for my own benefit (ie. online easy access to my notes, thoughts, info ect.) but I'm sure will prove very handy for those also on the same course as me if not all photographers out there who are studying.

Please leave comments so I know people are visiting (and therefore worth updating the blog for the benefit of others)

Some basic info:

My name is Andreas Andrews. I suppose a relevant site to link you with would be www.andreasandrews.com , and although outdated you can find links to my online works, and profiles as well as other websites such as: Flickr, DeviantART, Myspace, Facebook etc.

The first post I am about to publish (other than this one) will be notes from uni today.

I will be publishing straight from word 2007 at the click of a button. The notes in this blog are intended for my own personal use, whilst I share them to possibly benefit others on the course (specifically 3rd year students of which I am one)

Regards,

Andreas aka Dré

It should be objective. Not opinion based. You have to prove something (to yourself at least)

Ask questions. Don't put too much. Intentions. You want to end up after a few tutorials with a sound plan.

Come up with an area of interest that has relevance to your chosen practice. Something you're interested.

Development. Either personal or professional development.

For final presentation you can use anything you want:

Website, bound book, something interactive, use portfolio, photobook, visual notebook.

Written content still has to be handed in

Get publicity on your dissertation!!!!

It would be good (but not necessary) to include your own work

Make extensive notes on the research!
