Assignment : Mindmap : Reference Book
Mindmap assignment - reference book.
Arboretum Author - David Byrne
92 mindmaps drew by David Byrne. All pencil drawings.
This book might can help you what's the idea and how it could start or explore.
Or. this is just a beautiful book. :-)
Here is book description from amazon.com
Book Description For over twenty-five years, David Byrne has focused his unique genius upon forms as diverse as disco, architectural photography, and PowerPoint. Now he presents what may be his most personal work to date, a collection of drawings and diagrams mapping the strange corners of his mental landscape. It’s an eclectic blend of faux science, automatic writing, satire, and an attempt to find connections where none were thought to exist — a sort of self-therapy, allowing the hand to say what the voice cannot. Irrational logic, it’s sometimes called. It's the application of logical scientific rigor and form to basically irrational premises. To proceed, carefully and deliberately, from nonsense, with a straight face, often arriving at a new kind of sense. The world keeps opening up, unfolding, and just when we expect it to be closed — to be a sealed, sensible box — it shows us something completely surprising. Byrne’s enigmatic, enchanting collection teaches us that there is absolutely no reason to discount anything, of any type, anywhere.

Assignment : Survey
about next week and your survey....
choose an aspect to structure your sociogram/mindmap.
you could use something factual like birthplace, or something abstract
like taste, personality, likes and dislikes. you could use light
subjects like favorite desert, favorite TV show, first kiss, etc.
my preference is that you explore a topic that deals with visual
language/human communication, is current, and perhaps unknown to me
but is familiar among your peers.
for instance, current design trends, studios, or artists using visual
language you admire, current technology including iphone, youtube,
myspace, facebook, ichat, etc., color palettes or patterns that may be
upcoming or current, fashion trends including clothing, jewelry, body
art, cars, or other transportation methods, films, video games, music,
etc.
you'll each need to create a survey. then have your classmates "fill
it out." the design of your survey should indicate something of your
sensibility and direction for this project.
good?

except that i want you to use your research to tell me something about how you communicate with each other.
i feel your personal relationships are personal, unless you want to share.
and, i'm interested in communication as related to graphic design.
of course, everything is related, but...
your survey should help you create a sociogram or mindmap.
