Today....

We talked about Design and how we perceive it. It's all very clever. For example, take the Swastika. You will automatically think 'Aha! Nazis.'. No! It's been around for well over a thousand years and actually means 'peace'.
Example of mind-fudgery:
RenĂ© Magritte's "Not To Be Reproduced" 

It was all about how our brain tries to make sense of everything, like everything has a solution and a logical outcome. I think next week we're learning about the The Golden Section/The Divine Proportion and the Gestalt Theory (The sum of the whole is greater than its parts).

We also showed our personal Design Process Powerpoint presentations to the whole class. This was about how we go about designing and working our ideas, but we could only illustrate it and not explain it. 20 slides, the presentation must last exactly a minute. As each presentation was shown, we were given tailored questions about that certain presentation and had to note them down. After all were finished, we put our notes on a table so we could walk round a read what people have said about us. I was described as 'believeable' and 'powerful'. Powerful! I love it!

And then me and Sam went to the Noodle Bar.


It was pure win, Relentless in a glass bottle! A GLASS BOTTLE, I SAY!
