Formal Introduction...

-
We were formally introduced to the YCN briefs today, it has been mentioned prior to this lecture but its now time to develop ideas and final outcomes!

 I looked into all the live briefs and I'm thinking about ArtFund_, Frontier or The Grown Up Chocolate Company. I need to start sketching out ideas and reading over each brief again to make a final decision about which one I want to explore...

 Looking forward to possible outcomes for this!

Today's lecture was a catchup session and reminder of where we should be at with our Genealogy projects. I have generated ideas for this brief and looked at multiple object choices: > Relate the object to an artist - a found pen, pencil, crayon, notes, paint, brushes etc.  > Bottle - this could be the bottle cap or bottle itself - the narrative relating to where it came from > Space - look at planets, small black holes - things that have been discovered through science and what they do, what they hold etc.  > House - finding a new home, just moved house the narrative could relate to where the house is, why the need to move etc.  I will take these four ideas and create small narratives for each and figure out which would work best as an idea.  I have also been thinking about my final outcome (briefly) and I have become inspired by Eduardo Paolozzi, he was considered to be the pioneer of Pop Art. I have researched and used...

It is a philosophy of human life, a way to understand the complexities and challenges of existence and what it means to live a meaningful life.  As designers we think it as a way to interrogate and come to understandings of the responsibilities of the maker - it can be thought of in our design context as the meaning of being, making or sharing. Sensitivity  This is a philosophy of sensitivity and awareness at an uncomfortable level. It requires self-reflection, an awareness of your situation.  Sartre A French existentialist philosopher - born and worked most of his life in Pa...

Today was focussed around getting together as a group to discuss ideas and thoughts on each others projects - this is to help one another with any additional ideas that we could add to our projects or change to improve. I found this quite useful to listen to others' ideas and get another opinion from a different tutor to see what they thought about my idea. We were also reminded of the submission and what to include. This also included a reminder about the printing bureau at the University, this is to encourage us to use the facilities and get used to printing our final designs as this is something very important within the Graphic Design industry.  I was intrigued to find out about the Adobe Certified Assessment that the University offers, something additional to think about this year or starting third year.
