Here goes nothing...!

Riiiight ive got a lot of catching up to do with this.
Its about half way through the 2nd semester at the moment.
Im currently in York studying Design Practice BA(hons).

Well, in the first semester, they basically threw all that they had at us. Not literally, but you get my drift. There was a lot to learn and it did seem a little overwhelming to all extent if im being honest.

Visual Research Methodolgies and Navigating ICT were the main two modules.
Containing both 2D and 3D design elements.
For the Visual Research, we were given the Yorkshire Sculpture Park as our source for Inspiration and abstraction. I wasn't really "inspired" by the sculptures themselves, more their surroundings.
We found a nice little spot under the trees by a lake there, were some lovely little ducks there aswell ^_^

Anywho, back to the course.
We mainly use two CAD programmes; Kaledo, and Solidworks.

Kaledo is more of a 2D programme, i found it had similarities to Photoshop, but more complicated in the way that you put everything together.
Personally, i hate it. But then again im more of a 3D than 2D girl myself.

I struggled to get to grips with it at first, but think i kinda got the hang of it towards the end.
Used it in conjunction with Photoshop to speed things along a bit seeing as i was more familiar with the programme.
