College

This year I’m attending college to do a Creative Media course, which will brush up my skills in Adobe programs, such as Photoshop, Dreamweaver and After Effects. Hopefully I will be able to use these skills to design websites that are dynamic and interesting.

Consultation

Next week my support worker is going to see my college tutor for a chat about my work. I think I’ve done OK, but there is still room for improvement.

I think my best work was with the creation of my product’s website. It’s nice and sleek and modern. I’ve uploaded a link to this website on the previous post. Please let me know what you think.

Designing products

At college I’m designing a mobile phone which can be upgraded easily,  due to its modular construction.  I’ve named it the Norm Phone, which should retail for about £200.

I’m doing a lot to market the product, with a TV commercial, radio advert and website.  The website looks pretty slick, as I have used a template from Adobe Spark.  There are some great visuals (all photos were taken by myself).  Here’s the link to the website: https://spark.adobe.com/page/RAbPNniL4caXK/

At college

I’m doing ok in college. Had a great two weeks off for Christmas, but now I’m getting serious with my work.

Have just finished filming my product advert, where I gathered a group of my fellow students and got them filming each other.

I find that writing a journal is very therapeutic. I’m currently suffering from a eating disorder which makes me have aggressive thoughts.

But that would not stop me from continuing the good work I’m producing.

Hopefully I will be redesigning my website to get it competing with other sites.

Starting College in September

I have applied for a college course called Creative Digital Design and Technology, at Coleg Gwent.

I think that I will do well in this course, because I gained a Distinction for my Foundation Diploma in Art & Design.

This course covers Graphic and Product Design, as well as Website and Game Design.

I’m looking forward to it.

My Birthday

Today is my birthday and I’m 36 years old. Received a few cards and a nice buffet meal.

I went to the library yesterday and got a book out about writing plays. I think I’ll give it a go at screenwriting.

I discovered a web site making tool from the Internet called Adobe Spark. It helps you to create your own website without any knowledge of code. My redesigned website will be built using Spark.

Currently residing at Llanthewy House

I am currently living in a supported accommodation, which houses people with mental illness.  I am recovering from a mental condition which affects the way I sleep and perceive things.  The side effects of this are the inability to eat properly

I am currently discharged from hospital

I’m staying at Llanthewy house, which is a care home for the mentally ill.  I’m finding it quite ok.  All the residents are great, and I get along with them.

I think I’m suffering from a mental illness and eating disorder.  That means I cannot eat properly and tend to swallow the bits of food.

How are you getting on with your life?

I have virtually no thoughts on my mind, and I tend to be mostly awake when trying to sleep – it’s virtually one large nightmare.  I have finally been discharged from the mental hospital, which means I finally alone and enjoying life.
