Digital sketchbook
I still mostly make notes in my physical sketchbook but drawing apps come in handy at times.
Repetition and Interruption
Two highly important elements in graphic design. We were tasked with finding examples of them in the environment.

(I think the last 3 linear examples are great)
Redesigning...
On Friday we did a group task in which we had to redesign a fire extinguisher.
I've been thinking over the weekend about my trusty vacuum flask and how I've been complaining about constantly dropping it. It works very effectively, is easy to clean and has a 'cute' design (in the words of a classmate). But when it's not in my bag or jacket pocket it inevitably ends up on the floor because it's a cylindrical shape and is made from polished metal. I have an idea of how to improve it - I want to design a removable handle that can 'lock' on to the side of the flask, it'll slot into a built in bit of plastic. However, I can't drill a hole and screw it in so it would have to be glued on...and where will I get a hard enough but malleable plastic from (maybe I should start saving up to do some 3D printing)? So in the meantime I think a better idea might be to wrap some 'grippy' material around the flask so it's less likely to slide.
