02/02/12 Thesis Review

Tonight, because of the Research DP1 I sat in with Minko's group. This was enlightening to see how the other Thesis Studio students are shaping their studio ideas. Minko is having them create a visual vocabulary to help inform their studio designs. I presented my popup book idea and got some good feed back. Emily pointed out some similarities with a previous project i worked on in Graduate Seminar. The project was designing a poster on how Dr. Ramachandran acute observation skills and how he solved a complex problem with a simple solution. The poster consisted of a message being embedded in the folds of a brain.

To move on I will have to define an audience, make it personal or "human." This will help make my idea come across more effectively. The idea of incorporated the code and augmented reality into the aspect of storytelling went over very well.

I have a lot to digest after tonight. I will take the weekend to rework my ideas to sharpen the focus and solidify a strong foundational vocabulary to build my project on. I am going to set up a meeting with Mish to review where I am before DP1 next week.
