An update and a basic reminder for me of what I discussed with my lectures in week three of my final major. I explained my desire to branch out more with my creativity and step back from my usual creative process in an attempt to become a better designer and thinker. I explained that I was feeling like I was going through the same process as I have done before and I wanted to do something that is meaningful and relevant to me as this is my last project at university. To my surprise my lectures understood my thinking and didn't seem disappointed in my uncharacteristic approach to the design process. I have been fully encouraged by both Lee and Tasha to proceed with this type of thinking and we all agreed that it will be beneficial to me in the long run even though I feel nervous that I haven't got any solid ideas yet. I was also encouraged for the next meeting to find a specific area that I feel strongly about and attempt to narrow it down to give me a strong starting point.
Politics
On the back of this meeting I have thought about thinks that are relevant and meaningful to me. Politics is a major issue at the moment with an election just around the corner. There are many things in politics that I have strong opinions about but I don't know if this subject area would be appropriate for me as I am not educated enough in the subject matter. Nevertheless it could be an interesting project if it could be narrowed down and thought through properly. At least it is a considerable idea, and something that I would not have thought about doing before.
