Before the First Class

Hi All, 

Before the first class, follow the steps below...

Step 1: create a blog at http://www.blogger.com/

note: use your own name to name your blog, use “awesome inc.” as a default template…

Step 2: post three images ...

a: your best piece of creative work before coming to this course, think laterally if you have not done "conventional" art or design work
b: an image of a great piece of architecture
c: an original photograph of something beautiful

Step 3: write a paragraph under each of the images that tells us something interesting about them.


Step 4: find an image showing a creative work from each of the companies/designers below (they will be your clients in experiment 1) and describe it using a noun, verb and adjective; see below for examples.

note: be creative with your selection of words, this will help!



Jeff Wright (cocstreetbikes.blogspot.com): Noun, Verb, Adjective




Givenchy (www.givenchy.com/en/): Noun, Verb, Adjective



Pasi Petanen (www.cafepaci.com.au/about/): Noun, Verb, Adjective


Step 5: purchase a 0.5mm black pen (artline or similar), and a squared cahier pocket moleskin notebook (you can get these from the unsw bookshop).


Step 6: if you would like to get ahead, download and install the latest version of the modelling software "sketchup" on your laptop.
