TERM FOUR | WEEK SIX

Monday/Thursday

I had started on two very rough drafts of the posters and sent them to Jonah to ask him what he thinks of the designs. I emailed them to him and asked him what kind of feel he wanted his audience to feel when reading his poems, then I could get a better idea of how I could design it. He didnt get back to me which was a little frustrating so I had to wing it. With there only being two of us, communication is key if we both want to pass and he told me he had to repeat this course. But I still have faith in him. For some reason, he keeps writing more poems for me to use but I told him I didnt need them, we could just work with one otherwise it would be too much for me to handle. Keeping in mind, I was doing a series of posters for every poem he made. Having just the one to work with was fine. He also designed another poster with a sunset and his poem on the bottom. He also kept telling me that we needed our research and statistics to print it out and present on the day. He also wanted a video from our research to be presented with the posters but I thought that it shouldnt be shown because it isnt our work, its our research. By this time, I was very confused and I started to stress out because I thought we only needed to present our posters, but from what he was telling me, we had more work than I had planned. So I emailed the lecturers and they told me its not compulsory for us to have our research and it is not time-based performance, it is visual based. I tried to explain this to Jonah but its like he wasnt listening to what I was saying and said he needed to print out our statistics etc. Im pretty chill so I just let him be. I try to avoid confrontation and dont like being mean and bossy so I kept on with the designs.
