PPP2 Session 1

PPP2 SESSION 1

We had a pop session with John this morning we discussed what actually is PPP and how vital it is to our design practice. We discussed what we should be doing to contact studios and how we just need to get involved !

What were your highlights this past year? What made it memorable ? What do you feel that you gained from that experience?

POINTS THAT WERE MADE:

The smallest experience are important in many ways... WHY? Because we build up a database that will be more than useful in years to come.

Because we are visually bias animals , we create an onboard database of information and experiences that gives us a methodology of researching and evaluation information/

There are so many ways to gather data over our lives other than google, Yahoo and wikipedia.

This is where blogs are a new and a  'revisitable' resource we can look back on and see our personal journey of likes comment and changes in what we can see and document.

Experiences in the transition between first and second year and diverse and are mesa used on what you have learned in year one.

Work you have seen , studios you appreciate and have either contacted or are now considering contacting all are part of your PPP journey.

PLANNING WITH A PURPOSE

VISITS

• Do visits don't just be desperate for a placement. 

• Visit the place you might not like it when you get there?

PPP Fundamentals:

• The exploration of assumptions concerning personal learning, investigative strategies and the management of self learning through tasks and research

• Using effective strategies to facilitate personal and professional development though critical enquiry and problem solving.

• The demonstration of evaluation of  professional development,through presentation and documentary evidence.

• The evaluation of personal developmental needs based on and through the critical reflection of personal growth through reflection of personal work.

VIDEOS FOR INSPIRATION

After the break in Johns session we began to watch some short videos from some designers and there company's  it does inspire you to create amazing things and i found the Stefan Sagmeister particularly interesting so i made some points.

Stefan Sagmeister -

Stefan Sagmeister is an Austrian graphic designer living and working in New York City. His talk at the AGI Open 2013 conference in London was entitled "Sagmeister on Happiness", in light of his upcoming documentary The Happy Film.In this interview he discusses the film and its subject of happiness, as well as the broader subject of his work in design. He explains his decision to work as a designer in New York versus Vienna, saying that in New York people are more about "actually doing things" rather than talking about doing things

I watched this video a few times and got some good points from what Stefan Sagmeister was talking about:

• Do something to bring changes into our life

• Big changes need thought

• Certain design you can only pursue if you have the proper time frame

• Worrying solves nothing

• Evolution didn't build us that way that we would reach permanent happiness. If we were built that way they're would be no compass.

I found watching videos from huge design companies and there projects it does inspire you.
