Continued exploring different ways of showing my ideas. also scrapped one of the two concepts I had and have started moving forward with some thing else. Did quite a few more thumb nails because I'm still not 100% on my idea or how I'm going to show it.
Homework is just continue to develop the posters. crop and resize them see if it makes them look better or more compelling.

week 3 class 1
Presented our 4 A3 posters to a small group. I only had 3 finished but it was still good to get feed back on the ones I finished. The group liked two of my posters and felt the third needed quite a bit of work which I agreed with. The two best from each person were then placed on the walls for class feed back. one of my designs was singled out for having an interesting idea which was nice.
I have the two posters I'm going to move forward with and should have them by tomorrows class hopefully. I feel like there is a lot of potential in one of them and the other needs a bit more work

week 2 class 2
Just continued with the thumbs nails and expanding our ideas, did some activities around word association was also quite fun and did help quite a bit.
We need to have 4 A3 for next class, I feel pretty confident that I have enough thumb nails to create something interesting by then.

week 2 class 1
Today we started by putting up our A3 print outs of the examples of posters related to our topic, I found it quite useful to unpack the design and really enjoys these class wide discussions.
For the rest of the class we did random input task to help generate some key ideas around our topic. some of these thumb nails were really weird but also hilarious. This had been the best activity so far and I had way too much fun with it. I also may move forward with some of the ideas but im not to sure yet.

Week 1 class 2
We had the debates today, my team lost but we did manage to change the minds of 5 people so I think that is some kind of victory in itself.
We spent most of today's class just creating word lists for the two topics. We had two separate lists the tangible and intangible at first. I think this is a really good way to brain storm I could come up with so many idea just while writing the lists. then once we had those lists down we had to list metaphors related to our topic which was very difficult. I could only manage a few and they were pretty week, so going to have to expand on them later.
Our homework is to continue to research our topics and try and have one chosen by next weeks class. We also need to find examples of other designs that could relate to our topic to see how others have tryed to convey their message using rhetoric.

Week 1 first class
Today we were introduced to the brief and the topic of Ihi wihi. The definition on the stream page is
"Ihi and wehi are complementary terms associated with emotional and psychological behaviour. Ihi can be described as an individual’s essential force, charisma, power or charm – which emanates throughout the creative process. Wehi, on the other hand, highlights the internalised feelings that occur in response to ihi. Sometimes the terms dread or awe are commonly used to describe wehi. In this context, wehi is taken to mean the emotional response on the part of the viewer." I feel like using these terms as a base for our work is going to be very interesting and has quite a bit of potential.
We also learnt about visual rhetoric and how it is used in design, rhetoric is kind of like a metaphor or metaphor is a type of visual rhetoric not too sure. We discussed the different types of rhetoric like subversion, parody and satire. I kind of knew what each term meant by themselves already but seeing them used in association with design was a pretty new concept. We then got into groups of 4-5 to discuss how a group of images used rhetoric to strengthen their message or impact. It was actually very interesting how much rhetoric is used in a sometimes simple design and I look forward to using it myself.
my homework is to research about the flag change and then debate tomorrow about why my group thinks it should be changed. I have been nominated as one of the speakers which is going to be interesting.
