First part of the brief is to pick a theme to make a 20 slide power point for.
Before this class we were told to read the brief for Theory and practice which makes this class pointless if were just going over the brief and nothing else is being adding that we need to know about the project.
we were also told that we should pick a theme before coming to class which seemed odd as they went around taking to people to help them pick a theme (again even when we were told to have one by now).
By this time in class I already had my question never mind the theme so it felt pointless being there.
I tried asking different questions to see in what ways they could recommend approaching this brief but they would just tell us to do it the one way which was in a 20 slide power point and the did not seem to like me saying "what if we do 10 or 30 slides?" I only asked because it does't make any sense to me to have a set number. I mean you could have 100 slides or 2 slides and still get your point across in the same way; it's all about your own personal touch as a design student to show your work.
we ended the class by watching a video about an "Anthropologist" talking about how not to make a power point. What?! if you don't know an "Anthropologist" is someone who studies anthropology; as in human behaviour; as in the furthest from a designer as you can get!
Maybe i'm just cranking or something these morning but I am not happy with they content that we are "learning" in this class and if it doesn't change by Xmas as a rep I will make it change! (as long as i'm not the only one who feels like this).
