Hi again,
After handing 'the Biz' project in I am now looking forward to getting stuck into the other assignments. I think I will enjoy doing the 'Culture Vulture' project because I have got an interesting research topic.
My choice was the Adidas brand and there are already a number of cultures that Adidas have influenced coming to the surface, such as their involvement with hip hop and the 'retro' fashion scene.
I feel a little more positive about the 'CiSSy' project this week, it has helped that we have had a brief tutorial on CSS. I did not get anywhere near finishing the tasks but there is a flicker of knowledge that I intend to expand on. I am going to do this by finishing the tutorial and also looking for different lessons too.
The CiSSy essay had to be handed in today and in general my feedback was okay, there are aspects that need changing such as repetition in the content and not enough detail in places.
In the past It has been said that I go to in depth with subjects, so it would seem I have gone too far the other way! I think that with the subject being quite a large one I have, in trying to keep within the word limit, over condensed my content.
In other places however I have over done it, I think a little restructure will put the essay right, or nearer to it at least.
The 'iME' project partly involves this blog. There are some issues with my previous entries such as, over personal / friendly comments. I will be aiming to make this blog more professional in the coming weeks by cutting out the throw away comments and concentrating on presenting myself in the best light.
Peak of the Week
I would say this week it has been quite an even keel for me, my peak would probably be getting the 'CiSSy' essay out of the way. Also something to look forward to after half term is the creative stuff, we are going in! and i can't wait
My aims for the week are here as usual, maybe a few more than normal though.
Aims
1. To get the 'iME' web plan completed
2. To get the 'CiSSy' web plan completed
3. To complete the CSS tutorial
4. To make a detailed learning plan
5. To do some reading, CSS books preferably, get a feel for the basics.
6. To organise my sketchbook, I am becoming cluttered
7. To re-write my essay on CSS
Well time to go, I have a busy week, thanks for reading and please feedback to me with any useful tips or comments.

Hey Mark,
Ooo lovely big entry :-) There was one thing I was wondering..
Steve seamed to think one of your other choices was good (sorry can't remember which one) he seamed really interested in this other one. So was there a reason why you picked Addidas over that one? :-)
Great blog entries Mark, I think you're using the blog as it should be used so yay :-)

I think you are thinking of the London Underground things Julie, i remember Steve talking about that one.
Have you had a go at completing that Selectutorials CSS tutorial Mark? I finished it but couldnt get the images to display in the browser, they appeared correctly in Dreamweaver though, which is odd.
Dave,
