CATs Log Book

26th January - Group Lecture
For this CATs lesson we received handouts which gave us help on Havard Referencing. This I feel will help me when needing to write an essay in the future as I feel that my Ethics essay lacked in HR which may have cost me quite a lot of marks. With these handouts though I can now work to a better standard when essay writing.

24th November - Individual tutorial
For this CATs lesson we had a discussion on the progress of our individual work. I have completed my portfolio website and I am also waiting on some free samples I ordered from a mint/sweet company which has my designdave.co.uk logo on.

17th November
Tutor was ill.

10th November - Audiences and Clients
For this CATs lesson we had a presentation on Audiences and Clients. This presentation I felt was very helpful as it showed us what to expect from a target audience. We looked at age demographic which I feel will be vital for me especially when I'm working with a client in the future.

2nd November - Ethics
For this CATs lesson we had a presentation on Ethics such as things as controversial artists, photographers and any other work that has caused controversy. During this lesson we were told that we would have to write a 2,000 word essay based on our own subject with reference to an ethical background. I have thought of an idea for my essay but I need to find the artist I feel is relevant for this essay.

27th October
Unable to attend lesson due to illness.

20th October - Project Ideas
For this CATs lesson we were asked what things we would be doing during this semester of CATs, I decided to go with the idea of promoting myself via a blog and a portfolio website. I also decided that I would advertise myself by purchasing merchandise for future reference when I meet a client to give as a friendly gesture.

13th October
Unable to attend lesson due to family funeral.

6th October - Evaluating and Planning
For this CATS lesson we had to come up with a plan as to what we would do in our projects. We could do anything from promoting ourselves to writing up a blog or creating a website. This was really relevant to me as I felt that doing all these things would help get my name out in the world of today.
