Sheffield

Even though it's a month later lol, I went to Sheffield to see a close friend that went to that University.     Missed her so much. I like to travel and since I'm in the midlands and out of my parents house (they can't give me an excuse for not going out, they still try ahhha parents will be parents) I might as well explore.


The trip was slightly annoying I got to the station on time but the worker side I couldn't get on the train, so this messed up everything and I had to get a new ticket but that meant waiting an hour and getting to Sheffield at 1:00 in the morning. Also my friend wanted to take me to a club that finished at 3/4. 

I also had to go through the experience of changing in the nasty train toilets and doing my makeup ( not foundation and eyeliner full on highlight and contouring) with my tiny mirror. Kind of a bad experience but I say well this is the uni experience.

But I got their ok and overall I enjoyed my stay there, expect when we ordered Chinese and the driver  saying he couldn't find our address, blah blah. But we got it in the end. Her friends were nice and made sure I was ok since I didn't know anyone. And I'm not gonna lie like being able to not cook for a while and being told " Yeah take as much as you want I bought this all for you".

One thing I really liked was the accommodation because there's only two main ones, and the one my friend was at is the biggest. Personally I think this is easy when you in first year and your new to the town, so it's easy to make friends and actually meet with them on your own. Compared to my uni were there's 6 student accommodations, which just separates everyone. I also looking at the accommodation, it has a slight Bauhaus feel to it, I can see similar characteristics.



  • horizontal windows
  • flat roofs
  • geometric features 
  • not decorative
  • right angles
  • dull colours such as white, black and beige
I like architecture that values simplicity, because I believe less is more.

Internship

I got lost on my way to work, getting lost is inevitable in Barcelona because all the streets look the same. When I arrived my managers welcomed me and went through the necessary procedures such as health and safety. They mentioned that for the first couple of days I will spend time getting familiar with their website  https://yclas.com  before I started with the tasks set out for me. I created an account and started to play around with each feature, knowing the in and outs of their software. I realised this was very helpful because I didn't need much supervision giving me more time to carry out my tasks, as well as making me feel more comfortable knowing what I'm doing. Yclas Yclas is a web development software that offers it's services, templates and features to help create a successful classified site. Classifieds sites specifically categories the content they are advertising such as job boards, car dealerships and so on. While using the website I was observing the d...

Framework

Image
After meeting the clients we decide to come up with ideas to how the pages would be laid out. The trend right now is flat design, consisting of solid colours and minimalism. I went with flat design because it suits our audience seeing as we want the app to be simple. These were my ideas, using san serif font to giving it a young feel, as well as having a lot of white space. Located at the bottom is a progress bar, so the user knows what step they are in the app. We then put our ideas together and came up with an official layout, to which I added colour and images. These are my 2 initial ideas.

Work Placement: 3 months

It was mentioned this year that we have the opportunity to take on a placement from March to April. I was very happy about this not because I will not have to come in to University ahha, but because it's better to get has much experience as possible. Our careers advice emphasised this as she said the fact that we are University is the best time for this because employers are more willing to help you grow and allow you to make mistakes; compared to you being a graduate their expectation are higher. Also you will be in competition with people that have years of experience. Where do I want to head of to Originally I want to get out of this country and do all my work placements abroad, realistically that will be a lot of money. Also the fact that I have already paid rent for my house in Coventry for the year, I don't want the money to go to waste. So I have decided to go local and aim my research to companies with in Birmingham. Birmingham being the 2nd largest city after L...
