Creative future week journal - Monday 04/03/2013

This is a week let me look forward, from opening address to start. This is a brilliant presentation talk about what’s current in the creative industries by Dr Stuart Cunningham.

Look at these data, let me know that industries needs higher education background, Learning is very important, and creative media talents lack.

 

All in all, Dr Stuart told us the employment status. What skill is industries need, what is media industries development trend. These question all need us to thinking, Let our study direction and career goals more clear.

The following is key note address about painting over the cracks. Professor Paul Haywood from 5 parts which are guns to goods, metal, colouredge, secret gardens festival of mass narrative and tower twinning to explain that place making can benefit from a shared sense of local identity.

At the end, Professor Paul Haywood left several questions let us to think primarily we need to be concerned about why place making can benefit from a shared sense of local identity? How practical sociology might otherwise matter? What a citizen perspective might mean to planners? How reverse innovation in social environments might influence policy? What makes sense to wider social and business communities? How residents and local activists might prevail?

These questions must be concern future work, to master some workplace elements can make self more easily to success.

Afternoon, I attended the “how not be a designer” lecture. When I see the title, I remember that I have done a cover for a book which called “whatever you think, think the opposite”, and this also showed in this lecture. So I can simply to know that “how not be a designer” means “whatever you think, think the opposite”, I think this is a designer often needs to do, change a degree to thinking can get a wonderful result.

Robert ball is an Illustrator, he told his experience at the lecture. He showed us many interesting picture, I got some information from picture is that contrast is important, I remember a teacher said, comparison is more intense, visual effect is more intense.

Next lecture I attended at 15:00 is “to imagine, to create, to learn”. This is a very vanguard lecture for me.  Musical pigsties, sound installations, games, lasers and mushrooms; Yann Seznec's is an artist, musician and sound designer who has composed and performed worldwide, and is a regular guest speaker at conferences and universities. He projects may seem wildly disparate. However they are all conceptually, artistically, and technically linked, forming a body of work looking at sound, music, interface, audience, and more. Yann described his projects and his career, from a failed appearance on Dragons' Den to founding an award-winning creative studio, showing the results of an uncompromising approach to artistic creation.

Actually, I want to be a artist who always walk in front of others, Yann let me realize that being a successful artist must be down-to-earth to learn advanced technology.
