Restating Problems
I have encountered a number of problems whilst studying for Chui’s project in which we have been briefed to make a Zine or Artists book.
My Idea for this project was to work on tracing paper and make a folded book. I folded up my book and re-opened it to see in what order the pages were from cover to back. I then designed small illustrations on a piece of a4 paper and copied my a4 page of illustrations and printed it off on to tracing paper. Tracing Paper however, is trickier to work with than I initially assumed. I imagined it would fold just as the same as paper would, however it took many attempts for me to fold it correctly without destroying the image which was already printed.
Considering my problem from fresh I would have made a plan which would look something like this:
Look at different ways of binding a book and practice the techniques to find out which one i would prefer.
Test how to print the image on the page
Layout the images on the page before hand (although I don’t have a program to do this with so this could be a problem)
Draw on a larger scale and downsize (again as I have bought my Mac I do not have the program’s yet to allow me to do this.)
Developing Ideational Fluency
I believe that a mind map is different to a Brainstorm because I think that with a mind map is more visual and a more graphical way of taking notes. Images can be added to a mind map and it is a lot more affective. I think the activity of a mind map is to show whats on one persons mind, so would be more likely used as a means of recording just one persons thoughts as opposed to a larger group.
Brainstorm’s are quicker notes, written down when thought of. I think that a brainstorm is more of a group activity to get ideas down quickly as each person says them. The method of brainstorming was Popularized by Osborn, who stated that groups could double their creative input by using brainstorms to record ideas.
