No rest for the wicked

Hi, so im back! So its the middle of the summer, one of the hottest months of the year and i have projects to do for uni! Ive been very lazy just enjoying the beach as im in cyprus at the moment, been home for a month but i go back to london on thursday which sucks cos i hadnt realised how much id missed home.
Ive been lazy but at the same time i have also made a cushion cover, learned a song on the guitar and i am now going to make curtains for my room in my new house in stratford! I would upload a photo of my cushion but im lazy right now! All you need to know is that its a patchwork design which means that i have cut up different materials with different designs and sewn them together and it looks super funky :)
For uni ive had to do a interior/furnishing project and i have been taking insporation from Spring/Summer 2014 which kind of have like a picturesque, sunset, digital photo feel. As im back in cyprus i thought its perfect! We have lovely beaches and what others would call exotic plants everywhere like palm trees and stuff. So thats what ive been doing and i have edited one of them and put it below, i dont know if anyone is going to read this but if you do a quick comment would be much appreciated as i am a student and openly  welcome constructive criticism to make me a better designer!
The first pic is from my moodboard about how its all scenic/tropic imagery. The second one is my design and interpretation of this design. I have 2 more to do after this.

Welcoming summer with a drink in each hand

This week finally came to an end! YAY i am so happy :) Successfully handed in all my work on time and celebrated on Friday with a couple of pints of cider (classy) But yes its officially summer! In comparison to other years, this hand- in wasn't as half as stressful as the rest of them because i was FUCKING ORGANISED :) So proud of myself, so yeah we hung up our work on Friday at around 10, went to the SU bar had a few drinks, went back at half 2 to pick up our work and then went back to the SU to have more drinks! :) And i was there the new before as well (haha) so i had consumed allot of alcohol in those 24 hours :)
Since then (as today is sunday) i have been to 2 job interviews which went very well, wandered around Angel which i love definitely recommend it if you come to London (its on the northern line). Yesterday i did NOTHING all day :) and just watched channel 4 documentaries and tv shows, it was great! Today i have been packing as were moving out soon, but like ive packed 3 boxes, 2 suitcases and it still looks the same! Its ridiculous, and i only have 2 boxes and 1 suitcase left.. i think ill need at least another suitcase.
Plans for the summer: finish my internship end of may, fingers crossed be working as a bar woman at night and working in a Mexican grill in the day. Go to Liverpool end of June and other places, go home for a while, get a house!
Don't know if ill keep this up now, as im done with uni work til October lol so yeah xx

mayday!

Happy Bank holiday to all the hardworking people out there! To me it just feels like a lazy Sunday which is good i guess but im motivated to do work today which is good. I cam to my friends in Euston today so we can all do our work together and to be honest i was sick and tired of staying in my house, its so depressing. So on this sunny and warm day i am going to upload my final designs for my business card and post card and some other bits and bobs. I have now pretty much done everything, im doing it all really slowly, simply because i can! What im really dreading is the corsage i have to make for the gift wrap module and the press release for the professional practice module. So here they are with one of my designs in a different colourway from my gift wrap module. For some reason the business card looks a dodgy shape but i dont know why because its a jpeg, oh well.

May the fourth be with you.

Saturday morning and i am sat in bed collecting all my thoughts about all the things i need to do, cos who doesnt what that on a saturday?! Well this time next week i can do whatever i want so its all good! Unfortunately today the sun is not shining but hey this is England, we were pushing our luck as it was.
So, today i plan on getting everything or most of professional practice sorted and then go library and print it all out. That will be one of many things on my list to do today or until wednesday. The good thing about my course is that i can always have music on because im not 'studying' im photoshopping and other things, like right now im listening to an album i just downloaded by Wild Belle called Isles, its really good if you like chilled/indie music :)
Right below i am going to post my wallpaper designs, just the digital version though, because even though they look different in real life cos of the texture of the wallpaper i havent taken photos yet and you'll get the jist of it. Okayy so theres only 2 designs here and there are meant to be 4.. One of them is 2,5m so is a massive which it wouldnt let me upload and the other one i cant find as a jpeg which is odd.

Bitches be hatin

The weather is beautiful, ive printed out all my finals and i am a very happy bunny :).
So i booked in to go print all my stuff yesterday at 7 which was the only option. So i was at uni, left at 12 went to stratford to pay rent, then went Leyton to B&Q to get some wallpaper to print on, then went to Shoreditch thinking that i could get paper from there to print my giftwrap on.. i was wrong so then i googled it and found a place in Bank by like the British Museum, i got SO lost, it was awful. By the end of it i called my friend and asked her to Google the street i was on so i could get to the nearest station which was now Holborn. But anyway i managed to get home at around 5 cut out all my papers to the right size and then went to uni at 7 for my appointment and didn't leave til about half ten. Can safely say i was absolutely shattered! But now i have printed all my finals so im over the moon! Still have things to do like my business cards and shit like that but its all good. Im getting there and im feeling positive about it. Stress is so unnecessary as it just makes you nervous and you dont do your work as well as you would normally. 

Ive shown my tutors my final designs and they like them (yay) which is awesome because i like them too. As i have finished them a week before i havent done any half jobs so they actually look good and i am happy with them. I usually leave things to the last minute and they end up looking like shit and i hope i just get a pass. But like im organised!! WHO AM I? fingers crossed i keep this up next year and do better :)

Oh yeah the reason behind my title is that i came into uni and everyone is stressing out because theyre still doing layouts and colours and im just like i printed everything out aha :) it feels good, it feels good..

I swear i had something interesting to write on here but i seem to have forgotten, oh well, ill be posting some of my wallpaper finals soon and other bits and bobs.

Wheres Wally

HI. Its pretty much the final countdown now until my deadlines, fun stuff! I really dislike the last couple of weeks/days because however much you've planned out your time and think you're done shit just happens and messes everything up. Right now ive pretty much done my designs and waiting to get paper and print them out which is great so fingers crossed it all goes to plan. I also dont like the final weeks because its 'stressful' i personally either get super stressed and want to lie on the floor because i feel so overwhelmed i dont know what to do first or im subconsciously stressed which means ill either under/overeat and be like IM FINE!! lol i much prefer the second option because stressing is a waste of time and energy and will get you nowhere in life.
For example the other morning i got so worried that i was super behind on work that i dreamt about it and woke up at 7:30 in the morning like a crazy woman, then sat on photoshop until midnight. I did get allot done to be fair which is good and i actually liked the end result (yay) :)
Right now it is 3:14 in the morning in London, why am i awake you ask? aha well, see im not a regular coffee drinker so ill only drink some if i really need it. In result of that i am SUPER sensitive to caffeine, like i get super hyper and everything. All i had today was a cup of tea at around 8 to get me through my work and i am still up waiting for New Girl to finish downloading so i can hopefully doze off to it. Even if i dont i can watch a disney movie which are my favourite type of films and im turning 21 this year ahh oh well im young at heart i guess.
Anyway ill stop babbling about random shit now, im writing a post today to upload some of my work from my wallpaper module which is actually part of a competition as well and my group is taking inspiration from the Sanderson Archive, which we visited a few months back. It was a great experience (even though i was 40 mins late, got lost in the middle of Uxbridge..) with a massive depository of designs and books from the 1800s. So for this module we need 4 designs 52x52cms but one has to be 52x250cm. I have finished 3 and the fourth is halfway there.

Hi again

SO i just finished designing my last layout for my gift wrap module (yaaay) im not completely sure about the background colour but this seems to be my best option right now. Ill sleep on it and see it with a new eye tomorrow < does that make sense or have i just translated that from greek? oh well, you get the gist of it.
So now all i have left for this module is to do the colour ways, the gift bag and hand tag for the bag OH and the little bow thing, cant remember what its called. So ye :) im happy with that. Now i need to get on with my business card which is half way there and everything else!!
