I have been encouraged, through my university, to create an inspiring design blog, which shows my passions, my thoughts, my wonders, my aims and ambitions. I have many hopes for it; that it will be successful, and that I will actually continue to post things on here; that it is interesting and enjoyable; and that it actually benefits me in the future, with a possible job offer or business proposal. I'm sure I'm not expecting too much.
I have been known to join everything, such as in freshers week, and in fact not officially take part in anything. Somehow I always feel so busy and stressed with any amount of work, that I couldn't possibly have enough time for sport or even exercise. I don't understand how medics can physically do it - particularly medics who are also captains in hockey. 9 til 5 every day then sports on the weekend. Jeez. However this year, I want to make more of an effort, and have signed up to the Stage Musical Society to do the Costume Design. I am doing this with two lovely girls from fashion. I will be documenting our progress, as I'm sure you're desperate to see the outcome - as am I.
Ok, well fortunately I have managed to find enough time in my busy life to write this first ever blog post, I hasten to add, about 2 weeks after actually creating it - my real first ever blog (just to test out colours and fonts) was literally one line: 'this is my first blog post'. Which to be honest is really lazy and not exciting and doesn't give much hope to the rest of the blog.
When constructing this blog, as part of an assignment, we had to make a sketchbook to show how we came up with using Blogger; to show what type of things we'll be writing about and to show our target group. I struggled trying to figure out who my target group is. Surely, it is anybody who has the decency to look on my blog. Which, most likely for the time being, will be supportive friends. Is it really likely to be as successful as Tavi Gevinson? The 13 year old fashionista. And are designers and journalists going to read my blog? But I suppose it does come down to who I'm writing to, and I'm not writing to a 50 year old lonely businessman who enjoys fishing as his past time, or a 16 year old boy who is only interested or obsessed in computer games and losing his virginity. Also, I reckon its unlikely that my mum would ever have enough time to surf the net and stumble upon a design blog. But she will be looking at mine now! So who knows. And that businessman could be looking on his mates fishing blog and press 'next blog' and mine appears. And that teenage boy could be surfing game blogs (if they exist) and presses 'next blog' and mine appears. So in all truthfulness anyone could be reading this blog. So what a silly assignment.
Well, I have slightly blabbered. I'll definitely be making shorter blogs in the future. Ones that are actually design related.
Maybe.
