Seminar group

Today was my first seminar group meeting with our tutor Dr Sandra Wilson, the other group members are Audrey, Craig, Iona and Roisin. We all gave an overview of our thoughts for final year and got some feedback from Sandra and each other, peer crits have always been helpful as far as I’m concerned and I appreciate the feedback.

One issue that’s been bothering me for a long time was taken care of today. I’ve been concerned about sketchbooks and showing the development processes I’ll use this year. In the past sketchbooks have always contained a mixture of drawings, notes and photos but because I’m placing a large emphasis on CAD this year the vast majority of my development work is/will be in digital form which isn’t really suitable for sketchbooks in the conventional sense.

After the meeting today I’m happy that I’ll be able to present my development work in different formats, mainly digital with a little conventional work to show initial ideas and source.

Digital formats for presenting work will probably include screen grabs, jpgs of the Rhino environment, Power Points shows, render photo presentations (digital and hard copy) and maybe on-line galleries.
