What is good?- Farnsfield

Today we started constructing a concept. I thought the workshop was useful and it helped me to start thinking as a business person as well as a designer. Also I like the idea of an art director with design being concept driven in my personal practice.

In groups we discussed our idea and starting points and together started to generate ideas and directions in which the point of interest could go. I thought it was useful in discussing my idea as this allows you to hear what it sounds like once its open in the air in front of real people to judge and sell too rather then easily convincing myself. 

I was reassuraed once my group starting asking questions about my village, questions which made them seem interested and curious of what a day in the life of a Farnsfield man or women was like! They couldn't beleive the crime statistics and found it hard to imagine where I lived.

Here are some points that we covered:

What makes a village?

What is a publication?

Web?

Under milk wood?

Hotfuzz?

The next task was to spend 5 minutes listing areas that I need to research!

What is a village?/ What makes a village?

Publication style?

Audience? - Internationally, bodies, groups for example the best kept village society.

The last question was to ask myself the question that is - What skills do I want to improve? 

• Orginisation/Time management
• InDesign
• Presentation of final work
• Concept
• Web

5 ways I can improve previous skills

• Develop a time management/schedule for everyday use
• Use InDesign to produce a time management template
• Make another publication on how to present work
• Make a website about how to develop a concept
