Comm Tech II

"Document your ongoing exploration of your relationship to communication technology through a blog. We want to see a broad understanding of the ideas behind the technologies you have chosen to explore, a practical understanding of how to use them and the choices you've made when applying them to your projects. Include your working process, mistakes, thoughts about materials, techniques and any other information that's important to your investigation."

Really excited for this brief! Just got home from the Lecture with Matthew Hodson. Today, with all it's glory and its wetness, was the time I met the fella and I think he's a real awesome dooood. Very much looking forward to getting to know him better and to get on with this whole comm tech v.2 malarkey.

There are already a few ideas buzzing about the place with these self directed projects we have to do. The main areas I feel like I need to focus on will be illustration orientated. I want to explore and develop my drawing technique to help me refine my practice. Looking into different mark making tools, my creative process, designing for print and all the technologies involved should hopefully help me in doing this.

I am also very keen to get my music that I make out into the public's ears and the D.I.Y approach to making this achievable. We have the soundproof rooms at our college and a whole array of microphones to mess about with. I do have a fairly good understand of garageband as I've experiment with this software from time to time. Would very much like to learn a more established type of software like Logic or Cubase, but that's a whole other course on it's own.

Let's freaking goooooooooo...
