Action Plan Revision

I have had to make some changes to my action plan for this semester. After being chosen to actually paint my design for the Virgin Media communication boxes brief, I have spent four days doing this which has almost eaten up two week's worth of time I could have been spending on my extended practice briefs. I should have been finishing off a set of Christmas cards by this point in time but all I have is sketchbook work and some roughs. I have decided to abandon this self directed brief and set the work I have already done aside as sketchbook work that I can continue with to develop my drawing practice. The imagery is heavily based around animals so I could even use some if it to link into my weekly brief based around facts on the natural world. 

Instead I am replacing this with another competition brief. The deadline for this is the 30th of November and there is actually a cash prize as well as exposure online and a mention not he packaging. 

I am really excited about this brief! I have a lot of context of practice work to be getting on with but this will be a nice break from that. There is a maximum of 10 entries per person, I will have to see how this brief goes before I commit to a certain number. 

Updated Action Plan from SOI

This change has meant that the Penguin book brief has spread out into Christmas. I was planning on keeping this relatively clear because I wanted to focus on COP at this point. However, it might be nice to have another project to be working on alongside this especially at the point where I have already made most of the decisions and I can just get on with producing the final image.
