Preparing for assesment

I spent some time today in the studio photographing my 'writing out of depression' booklet.
Here are some of the results:

Second print of 'writing out of depression'

At Service Point at the late hour of 19:50
I printed 8 revised and improved copies of the booklets to find out the sugar paper I have today is of inferior quality.
As a result the pictures are much harder to make out...



Today's print: This is indeed a depressing outcome.

What Douglas Adams said.

'Don't panic', I keep trying to remind myself as the day nears when I will have to submit all the work I have done since the beginning of the year for assesment.
I have really enjoyed the work so far but the additional work I have been doing at the same time meant that I now have a very limited time to improve those projects prior to the assesment. 
I hope to add to my collection of material written out of depression

Implement the minor improvements to my design of a fashion textbook
As much as it is nice to think that there are 'only' three project to present, with one still happening - there is a lot to do, and I very much do not like having to rush. To add to this after the interim crit for the current project (Roll up, roll up), I have no idea where me and Wei (my partner in this project) are heading with our work. I am however, enjoying this project more than any other before.
Yes actually, what the hell does this one mean indeed?

The gesture of writing

As a part of my research for my brief which revolves around the subject of writing I decided to translate the printed version of the brief into Hebrew.
The idea to do this comes largely from Vilém Flusser’s essay ‘The Gesture of Writing'.
In it, Flusser remarks that by translating any piece of writing the meaning of it changes fundamentally.
