In our seminar last week we were given a task to research sources from other peoples blogs. We looked at the blogs from the first year multimedia blogs so we could look at any links they had looked at or different ideas or designers.I thought this was good to see what other people were researching in their blogs and it meant we might have found something that could help us a lot with our work.

Then we had to get into groups and think of 5 questions you could ask someone about their development, which could get more than a yes or no answer. As a group we found this very difficult to come up with five very clear questions that were easy to understand and were broad in the answers they gave. Our groups questions were..
  1. Where do you draw your inspiration from?
  2. Where do you see your career in design going?
  3. How are you achieving these goals?
  4. What do you think is important to your own development?
  5. How are you going to keep your work fresh and new?
We then had to go and find someone in another group and ask them our questions and we had to record their answers.
  1. A lot of my work is inspired by graphic designers, which i then interpet into different forms of media.
  2. I see my career heading towards freelance film making, film noir.
  3. I hope to create and develop lots of contacts in industry during this three year course.
  4. a variety of different sources, trying things iv never done before and not dismissing any ideas or influences, trying anything and everything.
  5. (same answer as above)

I thought this was a good task to set as your saw a different side to peoples ideas and creativity. you also saw what other people were researching in their blogs and it meant we might have found something that could help us a lot with our own work. You also got a better understand of each individual persons thoughts and feelings. it also helped me in developing my blog.
