Hinweis der Redaktion
- Session all about curiosity and being a good designer. Iceberg picture will make more sense later on.
- Previously we looked at: What we have Why we have them What to use and when This time thinking about: Why you should get curious The reason why its good to research Feeding your creativity Using keywords to search for information Concentrating on the Internet as your source of information.
- Your finished product (or essay, project etc) is just the tip of the iceberg. Below it is should be loads of research ie. looking at theory and facts, being inspired, getting ideas, stimulating your imagination etc. Limited research = less creativity. Finished design might not be as good as it could be. Find out as much as you can. Question, discuss, be inspired, think etc Feed your creativity…….library resources can help you do this.
- Trend and colour forecasting, business strategy, trade news etc
- Trends, forecasting, interviews, careers
- Google Search has finally added a simple way to search for images that have reuse rights.
- Important to consider: What you are searching for Alternative words Detail Broader subject Related subject
- When you’re deciding what words to put in the search box, try to choose words that are likely to appear on the site you’re looking for. Eg. The word ‘headache’ is more likely to be used on a medical site. Not just with Google, but need to consider with any type of search you may carry out.
- However so much information on the Internet so can use these refining tips to make search more effective. Discuss the ways that you can control your search (can be used on all sorts of databases including the Internet): USA OR America (Broaden) design* (Broaden) Jaguar -cat(Exclude) “Festival of Britain” (Phrase) +Ideo or “IDEO” (Exact match) Define: “paper prototyping” (Phrase) James Dyson invented * (Fill in the blanks) Related:www.designcouncil.org.uk (Web pages that have similar content to the given site) Scandinavian site: design (Search within specific sites with specified subject) “Scandinavian design” site: ac (Search within a domain eg. .ac) “a * saved is a * earned” Add an asterisk as a placeholder for any unknown or wildcard terms.
- Hand out worksheets to small groups. Ideally more than one group should have the same image so that we can compare the search results. Each worksheet displays one of these images, plus a variety of questions (see below): What is it? Words you can use to describe it....think big, detail etc Alternative words/spellings Related subjects Start to research the image/topic on the Internet: List 5 interesting/surprising facts about the image/topic Describe how you found these facts Feedback after.
