[ First PPP Task ]

On Monday the class was briefed to create a personal presentation to portray who you are and how it influences your approach to design. The task was only 24hours long and was very broad, its deliverables were not design as such, anything from a poem to a jog around the classroom would have been acceptable. Given this information I decided to write and play a song live to the rest of my class.

The songs lyrics explained my decision to do this and let manifest my love for music and how designing for music is what I want to do when I leave.

Music is My Way

Verse one and two

 Here I am with another song

Sit down, shut up, it won't take long

Graphic design for me, you see

has a destined path to music industries

I know Im far from being a rock star 

living it large girls drugs cars

but thats not what my intentions are 

I want to help others reach the stars

Chorus

Music is my way

I always, always want to play

and I don't think its wrong for me to say

the music industry is where I want to stay

Verse three

What Ill do along the way

Im not quite sure what I'm supposed to say 

I only wrote this yesterday 

I intend to have fun along the way

Chorus

Music is my way 

I always, always want to play 

and I don't think its wrong for me to say

the music industry is where Id like to stay

Chorus two

Music is my way 

I always, always want to play

now I think its time for me to go 

but wait you've got to hear Dec's solo

(Solo from Declan)

After everyone had presented, sung, jogged etc. we were told to explain ourselves because the task was a collaboration between Declan and I Amber actually said "you provide the platform on which Declan shines" I thought about this and its true, I do provide the platform for Declan sometimes and sometimes he provides a platform for me. Its this front seat back seat structure which makes our collaboration work so well. We were then told to summarise, in twelve words, what our outcome was. My twelve words were:

James shines whilst Declan supports him

Declan shines whilst James supports him
