70's Technology

Floppy Disks were Invented by IBM and they became commercially available in 1971.

3 main sizes have been used. The first was 8 inches, the second was 5 1/4 inches and the last one ended up being 3 1/2 inches.

The sizes got smaller as technology improved and more data could be stored on smaller mediums.

As a data storage medium it has been superseded by USB memory sticks.

However, it still lives on as the ‘save’ symbol in most programs.

It was really boring.

Group Work (Nooooo!)

I am working in a group of 8. Mark, Andrew, Richard, Aimee, Rachel, Rachael, Laura and me.

Since we couldn't decide what to do unaminously, we decided to do the presentation as a day in Newcastle and present it as a walk through the city centre.

Here is our very rough plan

START Bridges - Grey Street - Art'n'stuff - Pubs n clubs - Who knows where

OTHER STUFF
Clues for where to go next?
Make it a circular route?

FOR NEXT WEEK
Take in a map and divide areas between people.

Cow Parade Location is sorted

I just need to sort out where I'm going to put the cow in the location and what it will be decorated with.

One suggestion was to place it on the awning (?), decorate it as various filmstars, project an image of a cow on the building and batcow swings down from the darkness and saves those in trouble. I'm not sure where to go with the project.



Intersecting Forms Final Model

All done.

One side is better than the other, I'm not sure whether I should try to do it again. If I have time, I will.

Plastic Bottles and Celebrity Faces

Just as it sounds.

Starting to make my intersecting forms model.

It looks like a robot.

Perspective and Proportions

Drawing my room from memory.

1 point Perspective with blocks.

Looking at the proportions of the human face.
