Morning tutorial.

This morning my tutor took the time to give us all a tutorial as he felt we weren't working to our full capability, and I have to agree that I'm not. I seem to be producing lots of ideas but not alot of practical work and I understand that this should change, however I just don't feel settled with my concept yet. These are the notes that Steve told me to concentrate on :
  • Extending from the Internet into the public. How the media portrays things, what reaction this creates.
  • Question the methods of communication.
  • Go outside the box, personal space.
  • The way I present work - stickers, this is inspired by the Internet therefore the subject doesn't have to be about the Internet.
  • Look at how the Internet changes and creates relationships.
  • Dealing with the idea of graphic design, deal with the idea of the Internet.
  • Life outside of facebook, world within world, why not record the unrecorded world.
After reading through these points I completely agree. He said that I wasn't being my 'normal kooky self' and I feel that it is true. I need to push my project further to find where my interests truly lie. I want to create something that excites me so I can truly get behind the idea and capture my own passions within. I need to remember that I don't need to stick to the idea of graphic design is creating images and words but rather take and run with my own interpretation of what graphic design is. I need to become excited by my project again so I feel that it may take a turn away from my initial statement, however I feel that this is necessary and healthy.
