I'm done...almost!!

Its been a stressful week - In all honesty, I just didn't think it was going to get over!! But the good news is, I'm done.

I'm done!!

Yay!!!!!

Well... not completely, but my writing is over. I'm now working on InDesign. Its a total of 17,403 words. I've conducted the study in an inverted pyramid format or Funnelling Format - I've started with an introduction to the case, then moved on to my Secondary Research, which is my literary review. From there I've moved on to the 5 case studies - which is my Comparative Audit. Then, I've narrowed further in to my In-depth Analysis of Bailou, after which I have described the results of my own field test. This section includes my samples. I then created a matrix of my study. This matrix has resulted in 5 variables that I have deduced from my research, as essential attributes to Design Intervention. This section also includes my analysis, and comparison of my field test against the other case studies.

I've also gotten all my samples, and my next blog entry will have the pictures. My submission is on Monday, and I will be back in Bangalore on Saturday, the 11th of October. The sense of relief is overpowering. It's also a little scary - seems almost too good to be true!!

H-E-C-T-I-C-!-!

Hectic hectic hectic!!! Lots of work to be done in a short span of time. I have already begun my content, and as per the schedule I have made for myself, the content part of it - the written matter - shall be done by this evening.

I've reverted back to my nocturnal ways - find myself far more productive at night than I am during the day!! All I have to do is pass the 11 o clock mark. Once that's done, staying awake is not an issue!!! I'm definitely feeling more positive about this. I received my first set of samples. It was good to finally see what we had planned for. The styles are very different as the samples have come from two weavers. I shall be receiving my last set at the end of this week.

The content has worked out to be 8300 words approximately right now....!!! There is a little left to do still, and then I'll proof read it. Collating all of it - the information I have found out - has been a strange experience. There have been times when I was confused, unsure of where I was headed, with a picture in mind that wasn't always very clear. Now, putting it all down, it is quite simple how everything falls into place. The questions I had enlisted in my first proposal, the questions that came to me through the course of the project - the answers seem to all be there; I swear when clarity hits you its like a beam of light!!!!

I'll upload a few excerpts from my content once I have it all written down. Till then...
