There will be a branding meeting about the logo so I need to make sure I am around for that and bring my logo ideas. Over the next few weeks I will need to think about how my work will be presented at the exhibition and also about my own personal promotional materials.
Week 12
24th-26th Apr. As hand in is next week I need to make sure that my book is completely finished. This will involve looking for spelling errors within the body text and any other small changes that need to be made. I also need to decide on a final book cover designs. As well as this I will continue to make posters based on both the book and the topic of mental health and challenging stigma.
Week 11
17th-19th Apr. My book is almost complete. I began working on a front cover over the Easter holiday but I need to finalise this soon. I am also going to continue working on some poster ideas. I also designed a logo over the Easter period which I may be able to use to link the book and posters together.
Week 10
27th-29th Mar. I am going to attempt to have all my pages set up and almost, if not complete by the end of the week. I still need to design the front cover for the book and I must remember to edit pages I have already completed as due to adding in two spreads the pages numbers have changed. There is also one illustration that I need to change slightly. I am going to continue developing my poster ideas also. On the Wednesday there will be a branding group meeting where I will need to have with me my ideas for the logo of the exhibition. Friday, college will be closed as it is Good Friday, then the next two weeks are the Easter break, so ideally I need to make sure I have done as much as I can this week that I need to be in college for. I plan to work from home over the next couple of weeks, which should be possible as I have most of what I need at home.

On Wednesday there will be an interim crit so I must be ready to explain my ideas so far.
Week 3
6th – 9th Feb. In order to try to reduce my anxiety over the project and be able to focus better without panicking I am going to begin thumb nailing and brain storming all my ideas. I currently have loads of ideas and am unsure which direction to go. Once I’ve got it down on paper I hopefully will be able to work out how to go on, whether I choose a specific direction or whether I choose a few ideas and experiment with them until I decide which idea is best.
Week 2

This will include mentioning the general theme of the brief, a summary of the progress I have made so far and why I have been doing what I have done, and what I plan to do next.

I needed to have completed 1500 words by Friday. I have done 2700 so far and will continue to write more even though I have already achieved what needed to be done this week.

Week 3
Weds 3rd Oct. Today I am going to start writing my proposal ready to hand in a draft version on Friday. In order to do this I need to look at my questionnaire results. So far the questionnaire that anyone could answer has 47 replies but the one targetted at those with mental health issues only has 25 replies so far. I have given some copies to Student Services and outside of college at EIP so hopefully by next week I will have a few more answers.
