This week has been super crazy. I mean more crazy than last week. Feels like since Easter has been and gone, I have not stopped or slept. I think at this point, I am 90% caffein and 10% me. But it is fine. I have made it to the end of the first module. I honestly didn’t think that I was going to make it at one point. I thought I might have bit the dust, but I have not crumbled yet. I still have my 10% left to give. *Insert smiley face here*. But anyway. I have been mainly getting things ready for submission at this point. My main focus has been working and doing the PDF. In some cases both, but yeah so hopefully everything can be submitted on time and everything goes smoothly. My biggest challenge at the moment is my hyperlinks.. they are the bane of my life at the minute. everything works, then nothing works. Im more than likely doing something wrong, but I will work it out. Here’s my notes from Canvas this week:
- How do we get bigger?
- converting viewers into supporters
- stimulating starting point
- work out a exciting point at the start instead of going in guns blazing with type choices and colour ideas.
- we live in an attention economy
- we crave peoples awareness and its only growing stronger
- technology will affect the future of design.
- we live in this constant battle of awareness vs the project
- the medium of the project shapes our thoughts.
- there needs to be a mix between our excitement and our responsibilities.
- people are a lot more versatile in terms of skills so people will continue to develop and grow
- this may cause a shift in the amount of designers that work in a studio because people will have more skills to use and become more multi-trade
- the definition of ‘designer’ has changed
- there has been a shift in expectations from clients and this continues to grow.
- channels are changing fast and all the time.
- ideas have endured over time
- people want to retain and share ideas
- boundaries need to be broken down to allow people to become more multi-disaplined.
- everyone is more collaborative
- Digital vs. print isn’t much of a thing anymore. its become more like digital and print together.
