Unit X: An Afternoon Well Spent

For my poster I learned how to make a voodoo doll out of string- Oh how I love my degree! Its all a bit sinister, having been locked in my room fashioning dolls out of string for the entire afternoon but I thought it was a nice hands-on approach to making my poster as I'm not much of an illustrator.

Here is the link to the Youtube tutorial that I used, and my feeble attempt!

The finished product was then displayed with all the other posters, or should that be Tarot cards, on Tuesday  as part of our group presentation. For this, we had to talk about our ideas to the whole group for exactly 175 seconds to give everyone a sense of our concept. It was all a bit daunting but it was nice for us to be able to see what everyone else had been up to and how they had interpreted the theme of 175.
As it turns out, there are two other groups who had the same brainwave as we did and use 1+7+5= 13 as their starting point as well. So it looks like we've got some competition on our hands!

But I'm not too worried about it at this stage as its early days yet. We've decided that we will continue to look at our individual themes over Easter so that when we come back we will have a broad pool of ideas to choose from. After that its up to us to battle it out *ahem* I mean discuss in a civilised manner which ideas get put towards the final outcome. This should be interesting.

But for the meanwhile, please enjoy this lovely picture of us working hard on our Tarot cards. Awww!
