Seminar - Post-it/Group Exercise
During the studio session, we were taken into each of our seminar groups for a small activity to give some creative buzz towards the brief. This activity being a way for us to break down who we are by making us find two words that best describe us. One word highlighting what you say about yourself and the other being a word that best fits what other people think about you. Some words given to recipients of the activity were; materialistic, honest, giddy and so on. Moving forwards with this activity involved changing one word of someones post-it in pairs of two, giving each person total choice over changing one of them.
After this we finally put out the post-its on the desk, marking the end of the first activity;
After this, we went on to do the final activity was one in which we'd break down a few words that we (a group of three) decided to work with in relation to the work. For example, one word discussed was 'Vanity', in the group we discussed it's effect on social media and how it's made people only accept certain physical appearances in both the male and female domain. Something I noticed was that this was very similar to that of narcissism in social media, another growing area introduced to me through the discussion of this brief.
