 I'm still not sure what kind of styles I will use in my media project I want to try something new and fresh. However, here is an example of The Modernist-Postmodernist Crossover. I find it really interesting and I want to try something like that!  J Jackson Pollock's Autumn Rhythm: Number 30 (1950) SMART Objective I want to create some abstract photos by using light or some softwares, I want to use different colors in my photos that's my idea I want my photos to be fully red or in a dark vibe. I still don't know what I will use to do them. But I thinking about using my phone or borrow a camera and then help myself a little bit by Lightroom or Photoshop. I want to my work to be done in 30/40 days and add them to my website gallery.  Mostly my inspirations are photographers which are working with rap/hip-hop artist so that's the style I want to use  Playboi Carti: Fan Made Cover Art   

I used Visme to create an infographic about my project. This can be viewed full screen here  . This is my development ideas. I am hoping that this explain how I plan to work.

 Hi everyone... Here it is my 18 ideas for my project development I really tried to find 20 of them but nothing more coming to my head. As you can see my ideas are about photography project. Mostly I want to focus about finding as many inspirations and self-development. Also in my photography project I want to focus on planning and I really want to step outside the box. Hopefully I would be able to do it.    Find Quality Places... I want to find interesting places in Leicester to do photos to my final project so my photos won't be boring. I think interesting background in really important in photos for people who will see it.    Time to plan... I want to make a really good plan for my final project to be organized. A good plan is really important thing when we want to do something good. Learning new things... A key to success is learning, so I want to learn how to use new effects or use softwares.     

 Hi everyone... Welcome to my second term I came back more motivated after Christmas break. Last term I've been struggling with some work but I hope this term it will change! I'm way more motivated I set new goals for 2021 and I really want to achieve them.  During lockdown I got motivated by Anthony Joshua basically I want to change my mindset and for me he's mindset is one we all should have! We can see his mindset in interviews after fights or during training camps for his fights!  Source: (  https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/boxing/anthony-joshua-pulev-result-fight-b1771574.html ) There is a youtube link for his interview after fight which make me feel more motivated:  So basically my 2021 goal is to get Champion mindset and get all of my university work done!    

Hi everyone I want to talk about my website research. So first thing first when I heard on my Digital Arts subject that I have to create my own website I started to look for some website inspirations on the internet but I really never found one. So I connected thing I had in my mind to create my own one without any help. Of course I saw a lot of YouTube videos about how to create one etc. but Wix is so easy to create your website so all you have to worry about is to find or do some lit pictures or worry about our page composition.
