We got the design practice (Make A Difference) assignments back today.
I didn’t actually get that bad a mark for it, ended up with a C which is more than I think I deserve, although Leon’s comments confused me a great deal and made me feel as if he hadn’t actually looked through it properly, so I might go have a talk with him about that if I can muster the enthusiasm.
That’s the problem, enthusiasm. I seem to be completely lacking in it for anything lately; really need to sort that out.

The first assignment for design practice. We had to create a multimedia artefact which would somehow make a difference to society in some way by addressing a social issue.
I chose binge-drinking and targetted it at students and young people, but I’m not at all happy with the result. Having to juggle the imaging assignment at the same time as this and complete both within about 3 weeks just made me feel overworked and harassed. We had of course been told about the assignments beforehand but pretty much only recieved both final versions of the briefs with 3 weeks to go before the deadline. Very frustrating.
Excuses aside, I simply did not put enough thought into my final artefact and, well, it shows.
You can see it all here.
