Workshop Week: Fantastic Media
Random brief generator
This session we got given a generated brief and we had 30 minutes to think of a concept and produce it. The picture below shows what the brief was. I found this brief particularly difficult because I didn't understand what it meant but when I researched into it, it turned out to be quite dark and barbaric. It was about the pamphlet about in Ireland and how there was a lot of poverty and the author wrote about how families should produce babies and sell them off as food as to provide money. Obviously it was make believe but he used this style of writing to turn something awful into something reasonable.
The way in which were suppose to produce this concept was by using cake. so we drew out a babies body and thought we could take quotes from the pamphlet written over the different body parts of a baby.
Workshop Week, Illustration Animation
Today, They Are Older Re-release Stinger from Sunbird Records on Vimeo.
This is a video that was produced within the workshop by using a video of a member of the band moving we then printed out the frames of the video, traced around him and basically doodled over each frame then re-scanned them back into the computer in order and then put it all in after effects and inverted it, this was the final video produced.
Below are pictures of some of the frames I drew.

Firms
Individuals trade goods, most people became sole traders, this is still very largely a from of trading today, this can be a physical product or in services.i have expertise in design area so that is what I'm trading.as trade grew individuals needed more money to develop trade and sometimes they would need to make a partnership.
A partnership is where 2 or more people get together to run a business.
If you have a partnership agreement and if business is dissolved then it will dictate where the money where it'll go and you don't have to tell anyone financially what your earning which can be a benefit but there a problems as a partner you will be reliable to settle each other's debts. Both partnership related and privately, this implies trust in fellow partners.
Circumstances developed the sleeping partner when the finance side had no say in the running of the business.
In Victorian times it became evident that more funding was needed as trade grew, to attract this funding the government developed the limited liability firm which is an incorporated firm or company. The indivual was limited to the investment and this made very quick growth in the trade. However to ensure potential investors were protected against various criminals, fraudsters and other such never do wells, limited liability firms must do these things
1) Publish what firm is about.
2) Publish annual returns about the company performance yearly.
3) Lodge all this data with companies house.
4) Have the accounts of the firm independently audited.
You have to be aware of paper work and if you don't do this then you will be fined a lot.
Stopping a limited firm is more difficult, the company in the eyes of the law is counted as a person, and you have a responsibility to look after the company. What is the firms, is the firms not yours.
Other countries have there own variants of this.
However this form limited liability became to small to enable investment on a big scale. This developed the plc, public limited company, shares of plc'a are freely traded on the stock market anyone can join in large or small. Only invest what you can afford what to lose.
All firms have a degree of debt, in essence they use other people's money, use other people's money to make more then the cost of borrowing and running the firm. You must be able to control money flows, know what has been spent on what and have a very good idea of what is going to be spent on what, to manage this debt effectively.

The problem of research in art and design
All the art institutions have there own way of researching and how they communicate about there understanding of the world and visual arts. Christopher frayling, he is rector of a school of art, and he wanted to know what research would be in the visual arts, he conjours up a debate of this subject. He looks at Picasso and his reference materials his practice and he starts this as artist research. He found artwork is expressive a new work is about personal development.
Fraylings line of arguments: research equals old territory, correlative cliches/stereotypes, research as dead/ process 'pragmatic'.
Fraylings 3 categories of research are research into art and design for example historical or aesthetic research, research through art and design which means into materials, techniques and technologies, and research for art and design for example Frayling like Picasso regards this as the hard one and that includes undisclosed materials and work intended to speak for itself, effectively you want to make something because it is the research.

JWT 100 future trends
Research: JWT 100 future trends
Everything Is Retail (from 10 Trends for 2013): Anything and everything will be a retail channel as mobile connectivity unites the digital and physical worlds, and brands find ways to merge discovery and purchase opportunities.
Food as the New Eco-Issue (10 Trends for 2012):“Sustainable” is becoming a new buzzword in food as today’s educated eater comes to better understand how food choices affect the environment and what consumers, brands and governments can do to drive positive change.

Going Private in Public (10 Trends for 2013): With privacy increasingly elusive, people are struggling with how to maintain a vibrant digital identity.

De-teching (10 Trends for 2011): As people grapple with tech’s role in their lives, there’s a sense that the negative effects will outweigh the positive if we don’t find ways to use it more mindfully. Predictive
