Week 9 - Digital Media: Documentation for Art Practice

Evaluating our image findings is imperative for a cohesive-themed mood board. Our choice of keywords on search engines does impact our findings. Research can begin in both literal and lateral ways.  We can use a thesaurus, find images related to the research topic or read up on biographies found at the back of books and articles. (LibGuides: How to ) That would certainly provide different perspectives as to how to carry out a research topic. I chanced upon Daniel Eatocks’s Design Department Internship posters at the Walter Art Center.

It is a double-sided poster that documents every project produced within the first 6 months in the internship at Walker.

It’s an effective way of documenting CPJ visually, with research images organised chronologically. This reflects and depicts  the approach being taken. (Allan) We can communicate with others on the trajectory, desired outcomes and the purpose of the projects. Documenting CPJ helps find connections from past projects to our current projects and how we can execute our projects better.  (The Artistic Journey) Visual documentation is also a way of learning how we naturally do things and self-exploration. The types of sources that I get my findings from also become diverse.

Documenting your work protects me from any allegation of plagiarism,  which can possibly tarnish my professional image and lose out on potential opportunities. (Why It’s More).  

Moodboarding is part of documenting research findings for digital media. For the 4 ethos that we were supposed to choose, my group chose Happiness, Freedom, Fashion, The Earth.

As young designers of a new generation, it’s  important to be adaptable. Adaptability expands the scope of the designers’ style and expertise, propelling them to advance into design topics. They will  see different perspectives and engage in problem-solving approaches, subsequently ameliorating their general knowledge which can come in handy for future projects. (Taylor)  Another trait that I find important that all young designers should have is being meticulous (Igor Ovsyannykov). Being meticulous produces impeccable results, which adds depth to the quality of work produced.

I love my job! What started as a hunt for an image of a caterpillar, resulted in discovering a collection of over 400 of these stunning late eighteen century George Shaw illustrations. #imageresearch #bookpublishing

PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS for Fast Company, TED & Metropolis. Working at Fast Company as digital photo editor, I created images quickly, very quickly, for breaking tech stories and/or essays. I developed a style of eye catching illustrations using photographs found on either Shutterstock, images supplied by press, or diving deep into Flickr’s Creative Commons.
