Progress Surgery

Notes and thoughts from this mornings session:

Need to specify in position statement what 3D means -spatial environment rather than product
Themes are all ok and relate to each other well and they should underly the briefs that I take on, subject and audience will be what makes each brief different.
Regarding BSL it's finding out about systems of how people learn foreign languages, what's the problem, who's the audience, entire systems, entire culture of not hearing

Hard to teach people who occasionally deal with deaf people, more the people who are constantly in the company of people with hearing disabilities; carers, parents etc
Teaching sign language or making people aware about it? The problems deaf people have in society?


To get started on something start designing pictograms, find a problem, take anything and reduce it down and translate it through signs and symbols; human body? parts?

What data do I want to generate? Maybe do a brief that's more conceptually driven, something individual

Time management is going to be a big issue, do some shorter briefs. Set deadlines for research to end


Questions in my head at the moment

I'm worried about having a portfolio full of pictograms and image, what do potential studios I want to work for actually want to see?
How do I keep variety in my portfolio?
What kind of subjects do I want to deal with?
