It’s Been a Busy Ol Time!

It’s been a long time since I last blogged. Reasons for this are unknown to even myself, I’ve sat there with free time and thought i should probably blog but I haven’t. Anyway making it up now! A few updates. College is over!! (great although 2 months away and i miss it already!) so I’m available as a freelance designer if you so wish anything to be done. To coincide with the end of my college life I have launched my first ever portfolio which will be constantly updated as time goes on. I’m in the process of adding all my work to it at the moment, at the time of writing this only my computing project is up on there, although I am happy with the design of the site and I took a long time modifying a theme to fit my needs so hopefully this will pay off. You can check it out here. Site updates over it’s time to move on into general summer life.

This year has seriously been a musical blur. I’ve seen a lot of my favorite bands and I feel that this year truly is one of the best for music with Maxïmo Park, The Maccabees, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s and White Lies hitting my top spots. My first ever proper festival experience has also been had this year, jumped in at the deep end and went to glastonbury 2009! amazing place with amazing music. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who is doubtful about going, it’s a peaceful and serene place where you can get fully into the music or just chill out and watch from a distance the amount of art projects and activity’s there is insane and will keep you busy for all 4 days. Some of my Photos are below with the rest avaliable to view by clicking here and here

I start at AUCB in 2 months :S taking my foundation diploma in art and design with my A-level results coming in just under a month! busy times indeed for me. right that’s enough blogging for one day. Next will probably be a review of Underage Festival 2009! (much easier to review a one day festival than a 4 day one). Then results day :S

not dead, still here

It’s half 4 in the morning on a Monday and I can’t sleep so o figured what’s better to do than blog!

And yes! I’m still here, many would wish I wasn’t but hey your stuck with me. My reason for not blogging since the 12th of December is College, yup good ol Brockenhurst College is keeping me busy as per usual, i’d love to have posted since in fact I had a good bye 2008 post talking about stuff that was great about 2008 and what I was looking fowards to in 2009 but that fell apart like……..flat pack furniture without nuts and bolts! (I should never come up with metaphors) which reminds me the jolly blue and yellow super brand IKEA is opening soon, upon which I loathe mainly because it just causes alot of traffic problems. But hey at least it’s a few hundred jobs for people in the area! Right soton council :@.

Anyway moving on from politics, you may have noticed I had updated the home page to my site in preperation for my portfolio and dare I say it corporate rebranding, Yups I’m tempted to start a business! Idea will probably fade faster than the cream on your mocha (really need to stop).

I am going to start blogging about some of the work that I am producing at this point in time as a sort of design diary charting my progress and showing off work from the past, present and future whilst I construct my portfolio. So what has the past month and a half done for me, well I’m running windows 7 on my iMac as are half the tech world (not on iMacs just in general) quite like it and all my drivers are seemingly working so far. Apart from that I’ve powered my way through prince of Persia and mirrors edge whilst attempting to revise for my final exams before June! This left plenty of time for drinking at the pub and ultimatly Australia day which I wouldn’t have undertaken if it wasn’t for the free fosters hat!! O I also pierced my ear! A mini 12 of 12 consisting of 9 photos are at the bottom mainly cus I didn’t have enough time to do it this month!!

Update Time

Sooo it’s been a long time since I last published a post so around the holiday season seems like the best time to do it!

The main reason I’ve been absent from the blog is down to college work, all 3 of my subjects have had coursework deadlines for December so I’ve been working hard on getting all my work finished and ready to hand in! Some of which you will be able to see soon on the new site I’m working on for my portfolio to submit to prospective art colleges and unis. Speaking of unis where is everyone applying, currently I’ve got Bournemouth Arts Institute and Nottingham Trent buckled down as place I like with a possible option of Brighton. Although I will most likely be going to BAI because I will need a foundation for most unis which is a bummer but if it needs to be done then so be it!

Gaming wise I’ve been a bit absent recently with a bit of fallout 3, Call Of Duty World At War and Dead Space, with only Call Of Duty’s story completed I need to catch up during the holidays. Gamerscore stands at just over 30,000, you can see my avatar in my gamercard shown in the sidebar!
Anyway back to xmas preperation catch you laters!!

iPhone/iPod Touch Viewing

So to any readers out there using Apple’s latest and greatest portable devices how does the blog look to you? I have made every effort with the blog and my personal website in order for them to both look nice and remain functional to all! But would you like me to install a theme that is designed specifically for mobile safari or is it fine as it remains? Let me know in the comments

Hello Again!

Hello again this is a new blog, because i have changed my domain to appear more proffesional to prospective university’s and anybody who wants to employ my services!

as per a new blog I havent imported the old posts into this, i could very easily do it if people wanted but to be honest i had such little readership before it didnt make much sense to set up an archive blog.

Anyway all of that out of the way, I am Jacob Coy made obvious by the title of the blog and the fancy little graphic you can see above it, I am a student from the south west and here you will be able to read about my adventures through life.

Right less about me. keept checking back here for some updates on projects im working on.
