The titles:

The Evolution – the process of how credo has come to be. The native and production files in a digital format.

The Revolution – the sudden-like brilliance. This will contain a flash version of my folio, resume and a brief intro.

The Resolution – the answer to the issue at hand. The print document that discusses the issue of new technologies within design.

just a thought

Week six of the semester was marked by an appraisal of what had so far been produced for credo. (images of this will be uploaded soon)

There are a few changes that still need to be made to the project:

- Change of CD Mounts. I have decided on a new way to mount the discs within the document that will look much more sophisticated

- Changing the box… One of the concrens was that the overall image of the project was too ‘crafty’. I have decided that I will alter the box to be made from a different material (a plain black box). The the contents will still be able to be seen but they will be labeled of the spine.

- Colour? currently the document is all generated in black and white… I do currently like this low-tech feel but will experiment with the use of sparse colour perhaps eve just a single colour.

- Conclude the digital file and burn the CD’s. Currently ther is nothing on the CD and I was specticle as to whether or not to pursue the plan of creating an animated text based file. I was afraid that my limited knowledge of flash was detracting from the product. However I have been convinced to continue with this, I will be looking further at flash tutorials and ways that I can adapt my ideas. Rather than producing a long lengthed piece I plan to create a single file that introduces me and shows a snapshot of my folio and my resume. I think this will be a much better idea and could potentially be used as an emailable file.

- There are also a few things that I want t change in the printed document after finding new and exciting text that looks at relevant issues.

Week Two – Concept

evolutionary or revolutionary?

My relationship with New Technologies = Evolutionary or Revolutionary?

Evolution: a process of formation, growth or development.

Revolution: a radical and pervasive change in the social structure.

It’s hard to believe that decades ago all type was set by hand with large presses, and today that all it takes if a few key strokes on your computer. Are new technologies over simplifying traditional processes? Is it at the sake of their greatness?

The theme for my box set will explore this theme of evolution and revolution and my belief that the two processes need to work hand in hand.
