Feedback - 7/02/2017
I spoke to Johnny about one of my ideas which was to create a meme newspaper. I explained to him that this generation, the millennials, don't read the newspaper as much as the previous generations but I feel like it's vital for them to read it so they are up to with what is going on with the world, especially the important stuff. I thought of using memes as a way to connect with the millennials as they are popular at the moment.
Johnny liked the idea, he also suggested to go beyond the meme newspaper and possibly create a website where the viewers can collect a code from the newspaper, go on the website and be able to edit their own meme so it gets them involved more.
As something I could look at, he suggested this website, http://trumpdonald.org/ , which is a meme of Donald Trump. It's simple but effective, it gets the viewer involved and at the same time, it's fun, that is something I could aim to do, try and convey the same emotions.

Bear: Feedback
06/12/2016 - Tracy
I spoke to Tracy today about what I have done so far in this project. I explained my idea to her which is I'm creating bear yoyo cards to promote healthy eating and I'm designing fruit and vegetables as superheroes or monsters to get the young viewer interested and involved.
The feedback I got was that I have to think about the parents as my target audience as well, not just the children. I need to find a way to get the parents on board with this idea and involved so they are happy.
One of the ideas I came up with was that a child can collect a certain amount of barcodes from the yoyo cards then they send it to the company for a chance for the child to meet bear because I know how highly rated bear is with the children, not only that, bear will go to their school and cook a healthy meal to promote healthy eating and the best thing is that the parents can get involved as well so the child and their parents could cook together which is quite nice.

Presentation Feedback - Formative Assessment
2/11/2016 - Polina
- My title is too broad, I have to narrow it down more, maybe choose between looking at social skills or brain development and choose one and go with that in more detail.
- Reduce my intro. It's too long for the reader to read, pick out key words and use them to write my introduction.
- Reduce the questions in my presentation. It could be confusing for the viewer to know exactly what my main research question is.
- Change my research quesion. I may find it difficult to find answers for it, change it to one that I could find answers easier.
- Include more studies and stats instead of just one or two.
- Place the pros/cons slide after the main research question instead of before it because the slide looks at how it approaches the main research question.
In conclusion, I think overall it went well, I don't feel like I have to make major changes to it which is good and I got some helpful feedback that will help me improve my slides and push it further on.

Cybernetic Self / Process and Production feedback - Formative Assessment
31/10/2016 - Sara
Cybernetic Self
- Design the poster of the challenge/prize that will be placed at the back of the final product.
- Publish/print one of the zines I created to make it look neat and professional.
- Out of the two narrative zines, the 'interaction' story was most liked, use that as my go to narrative.
- Maybe create more narrative like a zine?
- The size of the zine was appreciated - better than having it big because it's easy to hold and can be placed in pockets easier.
- The hand drawn narratives was liked more than the digital version of it.
- Create/re-design a better version of the current phone prototype.
Process and Production
- Make the thumbnails of my designs bigger. I want the viewers to take notice of my work.
- Make more references in my spare time by looking at what other designers are doing and link it to what I'm doing in process and production.

Cybernetic Self Feedback
11/10/2016 - Studio Groups
In this week's group, we had to display to everyone what designs, sketches, experiments we had done so far as we are in that stage of our process.
For my work, I mostly spoke about my narrative idea and how technology has affected the way we live which I created a series of stories. Tracy's feedback to that was useful because she pointed out that I created an awareness of a problem but what exactly am I doing? What am I trying to do with it? These are some of the questions I need to answer to development my project further.
I thought to myself, I created a campaign but what's my point? What is my next step? I want everyone to be aware of how technology is controlling us, how it affects the different aspects of our lives. My next step would be maybe to look into the future and how we will be like if we continue to use it at the rate we are, what does the future hold for us? The beauty of this is that, none of us know how it will be like so I can create any scenario I wanted and make it as creative as I want but at the same time, not underlying the message.
The next idea I came up with was, I could create a series of past, present and future of technology and see the evolution of it but also, have abit of something for everyone as different people of different generations can relate like pre-internet people and post internet. Instead of creating it one after the other, I thought of displaying it at the same time, create three zines so one past, one present and one future with same characters, same scenario but different story and you would have to read it at the same time, so three different zines read at the same time if that makes sense, just to emphasize the evolution.

Cybernetic Self Project Idea Feedback
4/10/2016 - Tracy
In this week's group, it was all about ideas and talking about where we are up to with them and to explain what they were in order to get feedback.
We all placed our A4 piece of paper with images of our ideas on the wall so that we could talk about it and get feedback but also see what others have thought of.

There were some interesting ideas that other people had, there was one involving identity and persona which Tracy had some interesting points relating to it like do we change the way we are to please others? It was a question I did not think about but relates to one of my ideas that involved identity, I think we do change the way we are at times to please others and with the power of technology, we can because it is the easy route but to what extent do we change?
It came to my turn to talk about my ideas and Tracy pointed out that with the posters below I have looked at, I could create a little narrative to create a story that people can relate to and follow which could be a still piece like a series of posters or a short animation. This was an idea I will think about. People tend to become more attached to an advert or poster if it's set out as a story.
For the other images I had on my A4 piece of paper which is shown below, the idea is how we let technology define how we look online which makes us feel bad about ourselves in person and I could use that information by using technology to make us look bad to make us feel good about ourselves and I think Tracy replied with something that pretty much summed up this idea in a way that I think is the perfect description, I'm trying to turn a positive into a negative to make it into a positive, at first it doesn't make sense but if you apply to my idea, it does.
