The change from Graphic Design to Fine Art. To be perfectly honest i don't really see this as that much of a change to how i will be working. I will still be working in the same way but instead of getting given a brief i get to set it myself... and i can just go and make a mess every so often... what more can you want in life haha, and best of all i can still continue the design studies lectures (hopefully). Honest I'm not just trying to get in the good books by saying this. The lectures this year have been some of the biggest inspiration on me as a person and not just my art work. I can defiantly subscribe to a design way of thinking about problems. I just don't feel i work in the same manner as a think... if you can make sense of that then you are doing better then me. I am really looking forward to starting next week and will just have to see what it brings i suppose.
Other than the course change i have been really irritated at the BBC question time show. I know a lot of people will feel the same way... but will rant anyway just to get it out. first of all i think they did nothing wrong by letting Nick Griffin speak on the show. He is an elected official and it would have been wrong for them not to. However i am annoyed at the way they hyped it up so much that it actually caused riots! I know they wanted to get their ratings up but that is a disgraceful way of doing it. Also i didn't like the way that they totally loaded the audience just to attack him. I think the BNP are a disgusting origination but by constantly attacking him they almost gave him some sort of credit by creating a sympathy for him. Also the publicity that they created for the BNP was ridiculous as they turned the whole thing into the Nick Griffin show rather than a political debate. Give a man like him enough rope and he will eventually hang himself with it, there is no need to go out and try to do it for him... but on the plus side they did give us some of the best quotes of recent memory.
