Today is Friday and we had our usual design studies lecture at 10.00am as we do every Friday morning, but today's was different. A girl called Lauren Currie AKA ( red jotter) gave us a chat on how she communicated and created a service design through the public voice to assist social and culture change.
As much i love Johnathan Baldwins lectures i felt myself being totally engaged in what she had to say. what she was saying in comparising to the tasks that we are given make total sense. As much as i enjoy the tasks i felt before that they were not really relevant to what i am currently studying, which is interior design.
But Lauren made me realise that i need to make my ides more open and get involve in different things. As what i study doesn't just involve designing a space, it is about relating to peoples needs and wants and listening to them.
'it is not how well you can draw it is about how well you can communicate your message'
as Visualisation is a powerful way to communicate to people.
Before i felt myself slightly lazy on and didn't really blog as much as i should, and was also aware of this. Today i have decided that things will change. Today i am going to start communicating through my blog and the connection that i have. I shall talk more about the stuff that i am involved in and projects i am working on. Document everything and be more organised, so that i can find things.
As i looked around i noticed something extraordinary. As i felt myself engaged in Lauren's lecture i noticed everyone else was, people were writing constantly, more people were asking questions and at the end she was given large all rounder of an applause.
So the first thing i have did when i left the lecture was buy a new diary, one that i can write in, not just to keep my life organised but to reflect on my day to day experiences.
Assignment 2: what image means
These three images were the images carefully selected by the group. After thought i would pos them up of Facebook as there are not many people i really know on Facebook or speak to often, i left a comment below if anyone would be able to look as these three images and tell me what they think is going on in them. I never placed them in any particular order and just let the power of social networking commence.
To my suprise many people got involved. I found that different people showed different results. Some people would group the 3 images together, and give a story or some deep meaning behind them, other would tell a story for each image where as some people just simply said one phrase to connect the pictures together. Here are some of the examples i was given.
'As time passed and the days became shorter, the oranges, reds and copper reminisent of autumn slowly gave way to the icy chill of winter air and the bleakness of the snow that now covered everything in its path.'
Colder and colder, the little leaf started to curl and wriggle, such a strange sensation! How much longer should he lay upon the fluffy hills? Hours, days, perhaps even weeks would go by, how long had it been already? Then, laughter as he saw shapes moving towards him. "oh what a beautiful leaf" he heard them say! Soon he was scooped up into a warm gloved hand, oh it was so warm and toasty! "Lets frame it and put it above the fireplace" Ah, forever warm and forever red, thought the little red leaf! He knew now more than ever, that this time, it really was going to be okay...
had started to snow, and it hadnt stopped for ours. The snow covered the brutal land with beautiful twinkling powder, softening the jagged sticks sticking up from its hilly pores. With each flake the landscape became a little more welcoming. I stared through the glass and sighed, and reached for my dads old coat.
The little leaf had heard of this fluffy white powder that coated the land ever so gently but never in its whole life had it seen such grace! It had clung on and turned into a beautiful fire red leaf, but the little leaf was loosing its grip. Redder and redder did he get, more and more did the wind howl. Then... weightlessness, drifing, ever so gently did he dance and ever so gently did it land on the sparkly, fluffy powder, OH it was cold!
he leaf clung on for dear life, hoping and praying that the harsh winter wind wouldnt claim it. Tighter and tighter, it clung ever so fierce to the barren branches. Then, as the wind settled, the little leaf turned golden red. The little leaf let out an ever so contented sigh - it was going to be okay

TIME LEAVES FOOTPRINTS....
Most people spoke about time moving on and a brief insight to the seasons. so we thought as a group we would play on this and a add a picture of a sunset and the word four. Here is what we came up with.
Old age and death
clocks- times running out in lifesnow - long lonely roadleaves- new chapterwater - peace
Clocks-Racing against time
Leaves -Warmth
Snow - What lies ahead?
Beach - Tranquility
four seasons
Changes in time
live life before your time runs out and it's too late
timing is everything
Time out
four seasons
i noticed the majority of people mentioned the four seasons, or something to do with time moving on. also i noticed the older people would speak about running out of time, which is mabey something they are reflecting on themselves.
