I got to the office at 8:45am today, wrote my blog post as usual and then got straight to work. I was very keen to get more photos today. I started by deleting all unessential photos, then I opened up a new Corel programme and started to arrange all the photos (once they'd been cropped and possibly edited) in the order they would be in the Jenga game. This made it much clearer to see what photos I had and where the gaps were. Then I searched for another 20th century artefact and I found a tobacco tin, which was a Christmas gift to all soldiers from HRH Princess Mary in 1914. the particular tobacco tin I found had been damaged by a German bullet but had saved it's owners life.
Then at about 11:00am or so Gareth came over and we had a long discussion about how I was doing. We went through all the artefacts I had found and the short notes I'd written to say what they were. Gareth liked most of the images but a few were too blurry or not very interesting so he gave me some ideas of what to get instead. We discussed colour coding each layer and how to split the layers when I had to find two for that era. I then went back to work and worked my way up my grid, deleting inappropriate artefacts, changing all the descriptions and checking on the websites I found the images on to see how they were dated. I had lunch again in the office and then continued with this task.
I've got about half way through the grid and hope to finish tomorrow, I've also got to ask Gareth to find the photos I'm using off the Maritime-Line somewhere on the computer. In the afternoon Gareth told me at about 2:00pm tomorrow my teacher would be visiting to see how I was doing. Also before he left I asked whether the date should be mentioned in the description for the undated artefact. So far he said he thought no but I must mention it for the dated artefact. I finished and left at 4:30pm to catch the bus back home, I really want to see this project through and make it a really enjoyable game.
