"WTAF" are you doing?
Another of the 90's 'Introduction to the Internet' clips was shown, this time running through the information that you can find through using the internet. The clip was a good insight into how far we have now come in terms of networking and technology, going to show how much information is literally at our fingertips. Other clips were shown, that were already introduced during first year, one of which was the Hans Brinker Budget Hotel - I have found this design to be very influential toward my branding self. It was and still is a great example of how clever branding and marketing can result in successful business, thereafter having good design of course.
WEEK THREE - COMPOSING
As a reminder to what the week commencing the 10th was, the composing of our ideas and designs was required during this weeks time-frame. This seminar also talked about how it is time to be radically creative during our years at University, this is because we have no ties and are not required to do any specifics like out in industry for example.
This idea of being radically experimental definitely went on to introduce me to the idea of thinking outside the box in some respects with this brief. So it pushed me more towards one of my ideas, specifically speaking the one using 'Network Self' and 'Sociomaterial' to explore the narcissism clearly evident in social media today. This idea is the design using the paper sculptures. A few example sketches, and soon to be complete paper sculptures will be included in the research blog posts.
