History Of Saltaire Research

I was asked to do research on the first week of college for an assignment on the history of saltaire i had to go to salts mill and look at the history of saltaire i took pictures of things that interested me about the history of saltaire i then did a collage with the pictures that i took which is below.

this is the collage with little bits of information about each of the pictures. i am doing this because later in the year i will be doing a project in 3d max in one of the historical buildings in saltaire.

Team Icon Work

For the first proper project we are doing we were assigned into groups based on skills and once we were assigned we were all asked to think of 3 names for a games company we think would suit well each and then all vote on each persons best one to determine which one we will be designing a logo for.
Once we had all decided which was the best team name of each person we all then made 3-5 different logos for the name we got chosen, We sketched our ideas, My team name was Affliction and i made all sorts of different sketches for the team n

ame which were mainly tribal. then voted again which was the best logo for the team name and had a sort of competition on which one would represent each team and took another vote i got quite a few votes but then we ended up choosing joe's red hawk studio idea as the final choice but tweaking it a bit by putting it in robotic font which was rob's idea so he will attempt to make the logo.


This image on the left was my logo for my name i chose which was affliction, it got a couple of votes and came in second in what we chose overall.

Music Studio Review

On Tuesday the 20th of September i started my first lesson in the sound studio which i will be doing once a week for an hour on tuesday afternoons where i will be discovering new things about sound equipment, For the first lesson i learnt how to properly twist and bend the wires for the microphones so they do not get ruined and also tested the mix desk with the microphone with sound effects and playing with the bass and other features.
The rules of the sound studio are:
do not eat or drink because you might spill it on the equipment.
be careful with your ears don't put it at a volume that damages them.
Bend and lift with the knees when lifting.
Make sure there are no cables on the floor that are able to trip you up.
