PROFESSIONAL PROJECT : TUTORIAL WITH SALLY (05/02/09)

So, after having a tutorial with Sally this morning, things were put a little more in perspective for me. 

Points I picked up from this session was:

• BRAINSTORM > Branch out > Branch out further > Research > Find initial ideas > Pinpoint an idea.
• PROVIDE SYNOPSIS > Why? How? What?
• What is it going to be?
• What is your research going to be?
• Target audience?
• What's special about it?
• NEEDS TO BE REALISTIC!
• What do you want to do?
• Look for aims.
• CLEAR HEAD AND START A FRESH. CONSIDER DIFFERENT WAYS OF WORKING.
• Try to steer clear of live briefs, branding and identity.

I want to look at various different methods of working, like print, textiles, photography etc. I want my work to look professional and appeal to a wide audience.

FIRST IDEAS:

• Packaging for 'something' which can later be turned into something else. Re-used.
• Kit of some sort?

HOW ABOUT?:

• Kits for kids? 
• Education of younger generation?
• Art therapy?
• How long do people spend in front of the TV?
• Look at instructions?
• Understanding visual communication?
• Experimental learning?
• Learning Intelligences? (Howard Garden - Unschooled mind')

Lots of things to start thinking about, and this tutorial was much needed and productive! :)
