Seminar - Genealogy

Today's seminar related around genealogy. We were given options to chose from and explore to generate new and creative ideas that might help spark a design. As a group we chose 'If dinosaurs were alive' we explored all possibilites about what would happen in the world if the case were that dinosaurs were still alive. 

Most of these ideas were just to help explain why we were exploring possibilites and link this to design - that we should explore every idea that we have and see the potential outcome.

A Sense of Place Introduction

I was introduced to the brief today, 'A sense of place'. I have a few ideas to explore, they mainly relate to my home town and city and I want to link them to my trip to New York earlier this year. I found New York to be one of the most exciting places I've ever been and want to compare how different the city is to being at home by exploring distance, the city and image.

Notes:

1st Brief : A sense of place

Engage in research and development in response to contemporary themes and to my own independent research

There are five themes to explore over phase one :
1. Exploring the city
2. The city as a species of space
3. The city as a system of objects
4. The city as an image
5. The city as a language

I will explore these themes in a sketchbook linking to my own ideas that were discussed in group activities.
1. Town / village
2. Distance

Manifesto

I have created my Personal Manifesto using simple words. I find these motivational and helpful.
The blocks of colour are a simple design but could also be seen as effective, they move forward and up - as a representation of my work and development throughout the course.

First blog of Graphic Design!

I'm so excited to finally have started the course, beginning with something that is going to motivate me throughout the next 3 or 4 years...

Manifesto
"A manifesto is a published verbal declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government"

I am hoping that by creating my own in a creative way will help keep me motivated and inspired.

Notes:

Manifesto

Editing an existing manifesto to find words that inspire and mean something to me. 

I was asked to edit this original manifesto and chose key words or sentences that meant something to me and explain why. I chose words like persistence, imagination, explosive and urgent. I find all these words motivating and helpful, so that my work is different and attracts attention.
