design experimentation journal from an upcoming assignment, this was part one..
'concrete patternmaking and sewing skills will be combined with more abstract processes to extend and challenge your personal design philosophy.
design is a deeply personal experience and there is likely to be as many design practices and approaches as there are designers. developing your own individual design ‘handwriting’ and methods takes time and determination; however, it also takes study and experimentation. while each designer’s approach will be unique, investigating the ideas of those who came before you and applying their principles and ideas to your own experiments can be vitally important. by expanding your awareness of design principles and approaches relevant in the past and present, you may learn new and valuable skills and techniques for creative design development for your future career.
this assessment works parallel to the studio series and supports you to further experiment with diverse design practices at all stages of the creative process- from research and experimentation, to design and prototyping. you will be required to further explore your personal design practice and working methods.'
'the principles and building blocks of design: you will need to respond to this through the development of a research journal. your journal will need to include a design concept, research and creative development in response to design principles and ideas, design theory/ history, and experimentation working with these ideas to develop new creative processes and approaches.'
• a thoroughly researched concept
• research and experimentation that demonstrates a consistently evolving and well considered response to the ideas explored in class of 'design building blocks' and diverse creative approaches
• experimentation and/or prototyping to test the design approaches and ideas explored in your journal work (this may include sketching, diagrams, paper models, fabric experiments, collages, photographs and more)'

some facts about Scott Schuman that i enjoyed:
'1 – he’s like Victoria Beckham. super funny and totally self-deprecating in real life (it’s the ONE thing that i’m most drawn to in others), but he never smiles in photos. the reason? he can’t fake smile. so if a photographer asks him to smile in a photo, he asks the photographer to tell him something funny. and that works about..zero percent of the time.
3 – he seems grumpy. i always crack up when i run into him on the street (yes, it happens often enough because he’s always walking around) because he always seems so upset with his furrowed brow. the truth? he can’t see very well. and his glasses mess him up when he’s taking photos so he doesn’t wear them. so he’s always furrowing his brow and looking upset.
4 – he’s a real blond.
6 – his dream for when he gets older and can’t take pictures anymore is to open a little bookshop just for art and photos books, hidden from the street with a secret address where he could talk about books with anyone who walks in the door. not necessarily sell them anything as parting with any of them would hurt his heart each and every time.
8 – he once sewed a dress right onto my body. it was 3 minutes before an important evening and the zipper broke. i was crying out hysterically, we’re talking Bridesmaids style here, not knowing that i had a secret weapon: Scott can sew perfectly well. he studied fashion – and costume construction: he wanted to be a designer. (he then came to understand he didn’t have the talent for it so he went out looking for something he did..)
9 – he’s very straightforward. when you ask him a question, he responds. he’s not the type to have canned answers for interviews. he doesn’t hesitate to call things like he sees them. sometimes, he’s right, sometimes wrong. you get what you see and he’s got nothing to hide. sometimes it comes back to bite him and you can see it hurts him deep down.
10 – he loves sports. he listens to ESPN and loves all the commentators’ heated conversations. it inspires him to create conversations on his blog.
12 – he’s a visionary. he’s able to hear through the noise of life. he sees the emotion involved, in the people, in all things. he translates that in his pictures. he saw right away the emotion they created on the internet. he understood where it could go. he’s always thinking of the future and how he wants to be remembered.
it gives incredible strength to his work.'
