2. INSTRUCTIONS

2.1  Project 1B: Recoloring Black and White (5%)

    Exercise 1  bit.ly/3dXGYu8 
    Exercise 2  bit.ly/3rpZvCp

2.1  Task 4: E-portfolio (30%) (Continuous)

E-portfolio  A neatly packaged and presented visual documentation of all information (failures, successes, epiphanies, sketches, visual research, printouts, websites, images, charts, etc.) logically and chronologically. An online blog updated on a weekly basis, throughout the semester. Documents the summary of the lectures, instructions, feedback, reflections and further readings on a project, by project basis.

Portfolio  Hardcopies of documentation developed progressively on a weekly basis throughout the semester. The A4 Clear Sheet hardcopy printouts of the final artworks must be named, dated and labelled neatly with a pencil. The compiled artworks produced throughout the semester must be clean, clear, well organized and visually appealing. 

Requirements  

  • All gathered information (failures, successes, epiphanies, sketches, visual research, printouts, websites, images, charts, etc.) documented logically and chronologically, every week. Students must ensure that the eportfolio is easily navigable, visually supports the information and not overpowers it. It must be clean, clear, neat, named, labelled and dated. 
Notes from other modules e-portfolio requirements: May also document it methodically and meticulously. 

Learning Goals

  • CRITICAL THINKING COMPETENCIES  Use ideation strategies to synthesize, assess and evaluate prototype/final product outcomes for further development. (MLO 6.3)
  • PERSONAL COMPETENCIES  Demonstrate flexibility to manage change as a result of multiple demands and adapting to ideas and approaches. (MLO 9.1)

Marking Criteria

  • DOCUMENTATION  Consistent evidence of students documented progress/process work in the module, students' reflectionresearch and instructions
  • NEATNESS & NAVIGATION  The portfolio is clean clear, neat, labelled and dated, it needs to be easily navigable and easy on the eyes (visually supportive to the content).

5. REFLECTION

5.1 Experience

  • Knowledge/skills acquired during a particular session: 
  • Activities participated in:
  • Feelings:
  • Views: 
  • Comments on their experience during class or during the exercise or project:

5.2 Observations

  • Internal and external examination of what transpired during the experiences of the various activities:
  • Be introspective to identify strengths and weaknesses in themselves but also in the conduct/approach of other learners:
  • Make observations also about the activity and the results of their activity and make comparisons with the results of others.
  • Observation on how the activity could have been designed or planned better is also encouraged.

First time entering Taylor's design studio. There were different types of seats to choose from. The sofas are especially interesting to me. Portable plug-points wires fly up to connect plug-points on the ceiling. While ensuring sufficient plug-points as laptops may be the main devices to complete work in design class, I believe they put the plug-points on the ceiling so that fewer chargers/wires are lying on the ground, which is a safety hazard. Also, students who sit in the middle section of the classroom manage to access these plug-points easily.

I read the part of the book that talks about copywriting in advertising—I figure it will help me in one way or another since I’m doing twisted headlines for the condom advertisement. I’ll summarize what I’ve learnt from the book in bullet points:
