I need to focus

First week back after christmas passed on quickly but gave me loads to think about. The module is called Communication skills and Marcus Höök from Agera helped us with presentation techniques and what to think about in presentation situations and so on.

Now I'm at home trying to focus on the concept for my portfolio, and it's not that easy. Suddenly everything else is soooo important and fun to do (blogging as an example)... In all my confusion and not doing what I should be doing-ness(?) I atleast managed to make some Illustrations and maby a start on a motion...

Btw...I got a portfolio site... www.gothesson.se
It's not much yet but there will be soon.

Portfolio time

It’s been a long time… I know… But I’ve been busy

Two more modules are now settled and we’re starting the portfolio module… I feel a bit relieved that the group works are over but a bit scared at the same time… It’s hard to explain but I kind of have separation anxiety from my group haha…

We’ve been working together during the two last modules and sure it hasn’t been easy, and the group dynamics haven’t been the best but we still managed to deliver some kick-ass work!
I surely feel a lot more confident in the work I do now and that I have the ability to work under pressure.

As a part of my group for the last 8 weeks, I have learned more about me and the way I function in a group than I would have if I had worked in a group where the group dynamics were perfect. So, even though it may sound funny or strange… Thanks for the fighting and the hard times, but especially thanks for the great outcome!

Now I’m on my own for a while… Scary but fun!

To Pressbyrån. That's where all my money goes!

My life right now:













This is what I do all day... ohh and I'm in school doing fun stuff aswell!
Cheers for the new module! :D

Update

The other day we hade a visitor from Billy Blue School in Sydney. I actually was thinking about putting in an application for that school before I knew I got in to Hyper. Seems like a really inspiring school and my desire for getting to australia grew even bigger. Hopefully I'll get an internship at a bureu in Sydney, that would be really great. I'll just hope I'll have the guts to go. Well well that is an issue I'll have to deal with later....

If you haven't read in our groupblog we got a keyboard and a mouse to play with for the experience technology module. We're going to develop a drumgame.. if you feel the need to know anything more about that you'd better take a look in our groupblog, there you'll get all the explainations about how and why etc. Touch Technology

At the moment I'm home... and I'm not feeling good at all...Been home sick from school today but hopefully I'll be able to go tomorrow. Atleast I have to be well on thursday for the grand opening party for Hyper Island in Stockholm.

Read about Ikeas dreamkitchen in the new issue of Cap&Design the other day...loads of work put behind all that I'll tell you, and pretty cool... take a look

That's all folks!

Experience Technology

New module at school, now it's time for experience technology. I must confess that I was a bit sceptical at the beginning but I think I've changed my mind. Now I actually think it's going to be really fun. Seems like a really playful module...

Today the class was divided into 9 groups and my group is going to work with touch. We get the actual task at Monday, so right now I understand just as much as the rest of you...Part of the module task was to create a group blog where you can read all about our work during the next couple of weeks... Yay! Take a look

Motionweek

During motionweek we had to make a 15s motion on only 24hours...This is mine... I'm pretty pleased with it since I've only used After Effects once before...

Weekend of fun...not!

Have been trying to do some AE tutorials today... I can't really say it's been helpfull since I'm still soooo confused when it comes to AE. I usually have no problem learning new programs but today just wasn't my day or maby AE just isn't my type of program...hmmm It's probably because I've been having fever for four days now, but hopefully tomorrow I'll be back on track!

My friend Fia came up with an idé last year that you should do atleast one new illustration a day, and since I've been sick and soo boored this weekend I decided to do that... This one is of my friend Anna and her husband Max at their wedding a month ago... (Click on the image and it will look much better :D)
