During the first part of the seminar we swapped our pieces of writing with completely different people and we read through each others. We then critically edited them and suggested what they could do better or what they were good at doing. My feedback was mainly positive, my marker said that i was good at: using correct terminology, use of correct grammar, describing things visually, informing the reader. I need to make sure that i don't write sentences which can be considered 'too long' and make sure that they are concise and to the point.
The next task we had to do was to describe our images using three sentences, mine was:
The image is a logo for a venue which was a large contributor to the northern soul movement, it suggested that this particular place was the "heart of soul". The background is mainly black, containing two green circular inner rings which make the text stand out. It is circular and therefore very versatile for design.
Then we had to hand over our images to James who then displayed them on the main screen and we had to guess which description fitted which image, this task was very simple as everyones descriptions were very simple.
Overall this task was helpful for me, i thought this because it gave me a good idea of how i need to go about writing my essay, it also gave me the chance to find out what i needed to improve in order to develop my writing skills.
My images that i used are displayed below:
