PPP Presentation | Thinking

I've been thinking about the content of my presentation and what it could possibly include. I just have notes and threads of thoughts at this point that have a little bit of order to them. The underlined headings  are potential titles for slides.

I want to get the skeleton of the presentation together, then think about making it personal and visual after.

SUCCESSES / THINGS I'VE LEARNED

• Research and ideas generation

• Importance of design


SKETCHBOOK

• A place for play, experimentation, planning, and ideas. 

• Implemented this attitude through Visual Language

• Sketchbook authenticity - what is it and why is it important?

• A place where a tone of voice can come through and ideas don't have to be edited down


ORGANISATION

• Blog

• Diary

• It sort of comes naturally, but it's important not to let this slip


CHALLENGES / THIS HAS BEEN DIFFICULT

• (Be honest but not too confessional?)

• Moving, living independently, facing a lot of worries for me

• Stress, overwhelmed at times.

• Doing the work, getting good feedback, yet remaining dissatisfied with work or disappointed (how does someone get gratification / a feeling of being content with their work and what they are doing?)


OUTLOOK / THOUGHTS

(could merge this heading with above, or scrap completely)

• An important point for me was acknowledging stress and then trying to dial things back a bit, trying to focus on one thing at a time

• Do you dislike something simply because you've made it?

• The relationship between a hobby/interest and work/studies - how to not let mindset 
impact on work


WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH MY WORK?

• What do I want to do? - make a feeling, say something, mystery, intrigue, some humour?

• Visualise great ideas, stories, narratives, facts, findings, info. Bring things to light and share them

• What do I want to do more of? - put more of myself into my work when possible? try not to edit down ideas or tones..


LOOKING FORWARD / LEVEL 5

• How can I keep myself going / motivated at this higher level with a greater amount of independent study?

• I am apprehensive, however I hope to keep on making progress and improving

• Although this may be a big ask, I want to make work I am satisfied with

• What do I enjoy? What can I take away from other people?

• Push past worry and keep going


DISCOVERIES

• Michael DeForge, comics in general?

• Mikkel Sommer

• Films, documentaries? (Illustration-based, Crumb (1994)?)


TOP TIP

• Absorb as much as you can. Ask other, share and recommend things.

• Share ideas (PPP)

• Do your best (doing your best doesn't mean worrying all of the time)

• Be inspired and use that to make things
