Week 3
Yesterdays session was a lighter class. Going through different resources and ideas.
We looked at other peoples blogs from last year, it will be good when this years class blogs go up, hopefully there will be discussions between the blogs. That would be a great resource, to be able to see the process everone else is making, to be able to discuss topics and exchange resources. Great.
We talked about going beyond the bounderies with our ideas, when I was thinking of my ideas although they were good, I could have thought of more innovative ideas. Pieces to show off at the end of year show. However my mind set at the time was for a piece to show of my aspirations and talent and to link to my future career. I must admit after this session I did regret not coming up with more fresh ideas. For research I've looked around at a lot of student work, the best ideas come from product design students, who designed some spectatcular pieces, all this came flooding back. I did feel bummed for a bit but then my idea is perfect for me and for my needs.
We also talked about the environmental topic, I still have time and room for a environmentally friendly project. Maybe I should start now in researching environmental issues within design, friendly materials and processes.
The use of blackboard got mentioned, blackboard being the online access to course info. For the record, I hate it, It already has my course details wrong, another hassel I have to sort out, isn't it spose to make things easier. Its a mess of disorganisation. Couldn't they have set its design as a assessment, Im sure they would have got better results, even with the odd lazy student. It will become an example for me to use in the future of bad design. seriously. Anyway what I was going to say was I finally logged in to blackboard, so I now have access to the study guide. Yeh.
