Hey,
I have just begun the EE2 course and was wondering a few things. I am quite nervous that if I choose a topic that has been slightly explored in the past it will count as plagiarism – this is making me hesitant to read past major works in case I subconsciously remember them and unintentionally base my idea off of them. What do you think I should do about this? Is there a way to discover ideas without ‘copying’?
Also btw, this blog has been my go to for all things EE2, so thanks so much!
************
There’s a tumblr text post somewhere out in the blue wilds that says this much better than I ever could, but basically: nothing is original. Pretty much every text created is in conversation with another text (with a dozen other texts!) whether consciously or subconsciously. The simple fact of your humanity is that you exist in connection to other people, and they influence you just as you influence them. The only truly original thing is you. Because no other version of you is going to exist. What you think about something, and how you express that, is unique to you. You and a friend can read the same book but have different opinions. Even if you both enjoyed it, you likely enjoyed it in different ways.
The thing about EE2 is that it’s a course where you’re encouraged to read widely, to take what’s been done before and synthesise something new and interesting from it - something that’s of you, from you. I absolutely encourage you to read past MWs to see what past students have explored, and how they explored them. Any risk of “copying” their work is outweighed by the knowledge you gain of what they’ve done. They could even inspire you; maybe there are gaps in the way someone addressed a topic, and you want to fill those gaps in.
Plagiarism is very specifically taking someone else’s work and claiming it as your own, without attribution or credit to the original author(s). It’s a deliberate act born from desperation or malice. Given the fact of you expressing your concern, I don’t think you’re at risk of being accused of plagiarism. EE2 is very much about acknowledging your influences. As long as you do that, you’re set.
For the final word on originality, I refer you to the NESA FAQs and their response to “What do the marking guidelines mean by ‘originality’? How does a student demonstrate original work?”
‘Originality’ refers to the insights and exploration of form presented in the work – for example, offering a fresh and engaging perspective on a concept or text that may have been previously explored by other composers in an appropriate medium for the intended audience and purpose.
When it comes to “discovering” ideas, I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to choose something you personally like. It doesn’t matter if you’ve heard the markers like or dislike certain topics. You’re going to be working on your MW for at least 9 months. It can’t be about something you barely tolerate, because you’ll lose steam quickly. You will 100% run into walls. When those moments come, you need that latent passion/interest to fall back on.
Tbh I think the best thing to do is actively consume. Read. Watch. Listen. Consume all the texts (fiction and non-fiction, books, magazines, websites, movies, short stories, podcasts, videos, academic articles, newspapers, essays etc. to the heat death of the universe) you can get your hands on. And when I say actively, I mean that you have your brain switched on. What did you like or dislike about a text? Why did it succeed or fail for you? What did the author do that was effective or ineffective? Maybe two authors wrote on the same topic but you liked only one version. Why is that? Compare and contrast. Students often get so caught up in the creating part that they leave the reading part by the wayside. To be a good author, you need to read. The more you read, the more informed a view you’re able to form, and the more nuanced and authentic your idea will be.

Tropes are the Building Blocks of Story Telling
True Love's Kiss breaks the spell. The detective solves the case. Superheroes wear tight spandex and have superpowers and/or cool gadgets.
All of these things are tropes. Some people would have you believe that means that these things are bad.
Those people are wrong.
It's nearly impossible to tell a story without using at least a few tropes. That's why pretty much every semi-popular piece of media has a TV tropes page and I'm just gonna give you that website's definition of a trope because it's spot on:
A trope is a storytelling device or convention, a shortcut for describing situations the storyteller can reasonably assume the audience will recognize. Tropes are the means by which a story is told by anyone who has a story to tell...
[Tropes] may be brand new but seem trite and hackneyed; they may be thousands of years old but seem fresh and new. They are not bad, they are not good; tropes are tools that the creator of a work of art uses to express their ideas to the audience. It's pretty much impossible to create a story without tropes.
Part of being a good writer is embracing tropes and not being afraid to use them to your benefit. That doesn't mean that you can't do something outside of the standard mold or that you have to use tropes that you hate, but when you ignore a trope, you should do it with a purpose beyond "I don't want to use tropes". Tropes are not your enemy. They're often your best friends because tropes exist for a reason. That reason is often that the trope is the best way to go about telling a certain story element.
For example, say that you hate the one best friend trope. That thing where media gives the lead a single best friend, which you find unrealistic. Many people have large friend groups and you want to reflect that, so you give your lead five best friends. Then you start writing and realize, oh, all of these characters serve basically the same role in my story and my audience is probably really struggling to remember which friend is which because each one only shows up once ever couple chapters and they all read very similarly. Is this why so many stories just give the main character one bestie even though that's not the most realistic thing?
Yeah. That's why that trope exists. Same goes for the single smart person trope. They're both all about sacrificing some realism for the sake of readability because character counts should always be as small as you can manage.
So don't fear tropes. Embrace them, understand them, and focus on telling a good story instead of a trope-free one.
One final note, don't fear cliches either. The difference between a trope and a cliche is highly subjective because a cliches is just something that has been overused and who defines when that happens?
The audience does.
Your audience will never be the entire population of the planet. If you enjoy a story idea, then chances are that others will, too. It just won't be everyone. So don't fret when some random tumblr user complains about a trope that you love even if that post gets lots of notes. Those people simply aren't your audience and the old adage "you can't please everyone" is very true when it comes to storytelling.
Thanks for reading and, as always, feel free to send me asks or add your thoughts to this post! Good luck in your creative endeavors and may the words flow freely!

Historical and Modern Use of Tracing and Reference For Art
There is an ideal image that people think of when they are asked what an artist does. To many, the artist simply grabs a pencil, pen, or other medium, and creates masterpieces with just their tool of choice and their imagination. This is what causes people to say that artists are “cheating” if the artist is spotted using references.
Well, what many people (both artists and not) don’t know is that art has a long history of so called “cheating.” Today I am going to be talking about both using references and tracing in a historical sense, and a modern one.
References:
Artist often collect many images when something in it inspires them. It could be the folds in clothing, a color pallet, a pose, an expression, or many other things, but the artist takes those reference images, and combines them into the work of art they are picturing. This saves time in trying to get everything just right, but it can also add fine detail that might be missed otherwise.
When artists like Leonardo Da Vinci started taking part in human dissections, yes, learning how the body worked was some of the goal, but the other part of the goal was so that he would have his own drawings and notes of body structures to reference while creating. He still got some anatomy aspects wrong, but his research and reference material gave us some of his realist looking artworks.
When an artist uses “direct reference,” that means they are creating something while using a single reference source, such as an image or a model. For example, the Mona Lisa was painted with a model (Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo) sitting posing for it, and animation giants, such as Disney, used live-models while animating.
youtube
Note to Artists: If you like to use direct (one image) reference, do not use another artists (including photographers) work. If you directly copy from another artist, it feels like theft. Instead, use free reference image websites, or take your own photos.
Many artists think that any photo on the internet (specifically google) are free to use, but that is not true, and can lead you into legal trouble. In fact, there are companies that purposely spread their photos online so that they can sue people who use them.
It might sound hard to get caught, but if you are accurate enough in your copy, then it could show up in a reverse image search.
Tracing
Tracing has to be the most frowned upon method of creating, but even it is used by professionals and has a long history for famous artists. Yes, tracing another artists work is wrong if your goal is a direct copy, but there are other ways to trace as well.
Some artists trace photography poses to create basic figures (almost stick figures) to use. Why? Well, it saves time in trying to get a pose just right.
Other artists, especially comic book artists, will trace their own work. Let’s say you are creating a comic book and you need a side profile of your character, and have drawn one in the past of that same character. Well, instead of starting from scratch again, you can trace your own past image, and add in the other aspects of the scene on top of it. This is something even Disney has done historically.
youtube
One of the most well known ways for painters to “trace” was once the Camera Obscura. Put simply, it is a creation that projects images onto a wall (more on how it works here) and it was used for many famous paintings.
For example, it is suspected that Johannes Vermeer used the camera obscura to help make his works so life-like, that some could be mistaken for photography.
Today, many artists also trace, especially webcomic artists. To save time, they create or download 3D models, pose them as needed for the scene, then trace the models. Webcomics often update on a weekly bases, so it is very important that they are able to produce panels quickly. Tracing helps those artists focus on keeping up with those timelines, instead of spending many hours on designing a car that readers might not even notice.
Other comic artists regularly snap pictures of features in their city that can later be used in a panel.
A Note To Artists:
You can trace your own photography or your own artwork, but tracing the artwork(including photos) of others can lead you into legal trouble.
For example, the artist(Shepard Fairey) of the now well-known poster of Obama, was sued for copying from a photograph. The artist was found guilty.
To play it safe, use 3d models (either online or physical ones, like body-chan), free stock images (read the copyright info and use agreements), or take your own photos.
If you do end up tracing the work of another artist(which is a common learning method) don’t post it online or sell it.

Utilizing your salon software to create client feedback forms offers numerous benefits. Here’s why feedback forms are so valuable:
Strengthen Client Engagement: Feedback forms keep the conversation going, allowing you to understand the client experience more deeply.
Capture Real Experiences: They provide detailed insights into what clients truly value or dislike, allowing you to make targeted improvements.
Improve Client Retention: By acting on feedback, you’re more likely to see repeat visits and build loyalty with your clients.

Provide Immediate Response Opportunities: Real-time feedback allows you to address issues before clients post reviews online.
Build a Marketing List: Collecting emails via feedback forms can also help grow your list for promotional messages.
Proven Methods to Collect Client Feedback
1. Gather Essential Client InformationBefore collecting feedback, ensure you have basic client information such as name, phone number, and email. With the help of spa scheduling software or a comprehensive spa management system, you can easily capture these details during the appointment booking process.
When clients book appointments or join a loyalty program, they can provide additional preferences. This information is not only helpful for feedback purposes but also allows you to tailor marketing efforts to each client’s needs.
2. Define Your Feedback GoalsIt’s essential to set clear goals for your feedback collection process. Defining what you want to learn from your clients will make the feedback process more effective. Consider focusing on these areas:
Booking experience
Salon ambiance and facilities
Quality of treatments and services
Client satisfaction with your website and social media presence
Opinion on retail product offerings
Having specific feedback goals helps create meaningful questions for your feedback forms, ensuring you gather actionable insights.
Setting Up a Salon Feedback System
A well-designed feedback system lets you gather real-time opinions from clients before they leave reviews elsewhere. With a feedback-enabled salon management system, such as MioSalon, you can collect client opinions while they’re still fresh.
Here’s how to implement a feedback system effectively:
Negative Feedback Alerts: Set up alerts for any negative comments so you can address them before they become public.
Reputation Boosting: Actively manage feedback to enhance your salon’s reputation.
In-Store and SMS Ratings: Ask clients to rate their experience immediately after their visit, either through SMS or via an in-store system.
Feedback Questionnaires: Use structured questions to guide clients in providing useful insights.
To learn more about enhancing your salon experience, check out MioSalon’s Spa Management System with integrated feedback tools, which help streamline feedback collection, response, and improvement.
Get Client Testimonials
Your long-time, loyal clients are one of your best marketing assets. When regular clients express satisfaction with your services, ask if they’d be willing to provide a testimonial. Client testimonials can significantly influence new potential customers, so it’s wise to gather positive feedback from clients who are familiar with and enjoy your services.
Encouraging existing clients to share their positive experiences is a great way to build credibility and attract new visitors.
Offer Incentives for Feedback
An effective way to encourage clients to provide feedback is by offering small incentives. This doesn’t have to be expensive—simple perks such as an upgrade to a premium service or an extended treatment can make a big difference. Incentives help clients feel appreciated and give them an extra reason to fill out your feedback form thoughtfully.
Selecting the Right Clients for Feedback
Which clients should you ask for feedback? Ideally, you’ll want a mix of feedback from different client types. Using a salon management system like MioSalon allows you to automate feedback requests to clients after every appointment.
However, if you’re targeting feedback manually, consider focusing on:
Long-time clients who know your salon well
High spenders who book premium services
New clients who can offer fresh perspectives
Varied demographics for a balanced view
Including a variety of clients in your feedback pool will ensure a well-rounded perspective on what’s working and what needs improvement.
Conclusion
Gathering client feedback is an invaluable way to fine-tune your salon’s services and create an experience that clients will love. When done effectively, feedback not only enhances client satisfaction but also provides insights that can drive your business forward. The right salon management software can simplify the entire process, from capturing client details to collecting and analyzing feedback.

Why Is the Quran in Arabic? Understanding the Language of Revelation
When people ask, "why is the Quran in Arabic?" they're touching on a question with deep historical, linguistic, and spiritual significance. To truly appreciate the reasons behind this choice, it’s important to understand the context in which the Quran was revealed, as well as the unique characteristics of the Arabic language.
The Historical Context of the Quran’s Revelation
The Quran was revealed over 1,400 years ago to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the Arabian Peninsula. Arabic was the language spoken by the people of that region, so it was only natural that the message would be delivered in a language that the immediate audience could understand. The goal was for the message to be clear and accessible to the people of that time and place.
However, there’s more to the choice of Arabic than just geography. Arabic was, and still is, known for its richness and complexity. It's a language with a wide vocabulary, capable of expressing subtle differences in meaning with great precision. For a message as profound as the Quran, which addresses the intricacies of faith, ethics, and human behavior, Arabic offered the depth needed to convey these ideas effectively.
The Unique Nature of the Arabic Language
Arabic is known for its linguistic richness, with a structure that allows for layers of meaning. This means that even a single word in Arabic can hold multiple shades of interpretation, offering readers a chance to reflect deeply on the text. For example, the root system of the language enables words to carry related meanings, which helps readers see connections between different concepts within the Quran.
This linguistic depth is part of what makes the Quran so special in its original form. The rhyming prose and poetic style of Arabic also contribute to the beauty and memorability of the Quranic verses. Reciting the Quran in its original Arabic form has a musicality that many people find spiritually moving, which is why Arabic remains central to Muslim practices worldwide.
Arabic as a Unifying Language for Muslims
Beyond its linguistic qualities, Arabic serves as a unifying factor for Muslims around the world. Wherever Muslims may live, the Quran is read and recited in Arabic, creating a shared spiritual experience. While translations exist in numerous languages, they serve as explanations or interpretations rather than replacements for the original text. This approach ensures that the essence of the message remains unchanged, as translating complex concepts directly can sometimes alter their meaning.
Learning Arabic can open up new dimensions of understanding the Quran. Many Muslims find that when they engage with the Quran in its original language, they can connect more deeply with the text and gain a richer appreciation of its teachings. This is why so many people around the world choose to learn Arabic, whether for religious purposes or a deeper cultural appreciation.
Why Learning Arabic Matters
For those wondering, "why is the Quran in Arabic?" and wanting to connect with the text in a more personal way, learning the language can be incredibly rewarding. Websites like Kalimah Center offer accessible resources for learning Arabic. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to deepen your existing skills, such platforms provide structured lessons and practice opportunities that can help bridge the gap between translation and understanding the original text.
Kalimah Center’s approach makes learning Arabic approachable, focusing on practical language skills and Quranic understanding. By studying Arabic, learners can engage with the Quran more directly, enhancing their comprehension of its verses and their relationship with the message.
Arabic’s Role in Preserving the Quran
Another key reason the Quran remains in Arabic is preservation. The text of the Quran has remained unchanged since its revelation, with Muslims placing great emphasis on memorization and accurate recitation. Arabic ensures that the Quran is preserved in its original form, maintaining consistency and authenticity.
Translations, while useful for broader understanding, can never fully capture the layers of meaning and the rhythmic beauty of the original Arabic. This is why the Arabic version of the Quran is always considered the definitive source, while translations are seen as tools to aid understanding.
Conclusion: Connecting with the Quran Through Its Language
So, "why is the Quran in Arabic?" The reasons are many—historical context, linguistic depth, spiritual unity, and a desire to preserve the message as it was revealed. Arabic is not just a medium for the message; it is part of the message itself, providing a richness that invites reflection and deeper engagement.
For those interested in delving into this beautiful language, learning Arabic can be a gateway to a more profound relationship with the Quran. The journey might seem challenging, but resources like Kalimah Center make it possible to take that first step, helping learners uncover the beauty of Arabic and, with it, a deeper understanding of the Quran.

Finding Joy in God's Will: A Journey of Faith and Purpose
Have you ever wondered what it means to delight in God's will truly? Psalm 40:8 offers a profound insight into this spiritual journey. It says, "I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart" (NKJV). This verse invites us to explore a deeper connection with God and His life plan.
When we think about God's will, it's easy to imagine a set of rules or restrictions. But that's not what this psalm is talking about. Instead, it describes a heart that finds joy and satisfaction in aligning with God's desires. It's about discovering a sense of purpose and fulfillment from living in harmony with our Creator.
So, how can we cultivate this delight in God's will? It starts with getting to know God better. Like any relationship, the more time we spend with God through prayer, reading His Word, and reflecting on His teachings, the more we understand His heart. As we grow in this understanding, we begin to see how His will is always for our good and the good of others.
Another critical aspect is internalizing God's law. The psalm says, "Your law is within my heart." This isn't about memorizing rules but letting God's principles shape our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. Following God's will becomes more natural and less of a struggle when we do this.
It's important to remember that delighting in God's will doesn't mean life will always be easy. We'll still face challenges and difficult decisions. However, when we're aligned with God's purposes, we have a source of strength and guidance to help us through tough times. We can find peace knowing that we're on the right path, even when that path is rocky.
Delighting in God's will also transforms our perspective on service and obedience. Instead of viewing these as burdens, we see them as opportunities to express our love for God and others. This shift in mindset can bring joy to even the most mundane tasks when we do them as unto the Lord.
As we grow in our delight of God's will, we may notice changes in our priorities and desires. Things that once seemed important might lose appeal, while new passions aligned with God's purposes may emerge. This is part of the beautiful process of becoming more like Christ.
In conclusion, delighting in God's will is a journey of faith, growth, and discovery. It's about finding our true purpose and experiencing the joy of living in harmony with our Creator. Today, why not take a step towards embracing God's will with joy? Reflect on Psalm 40:8 and ask God to help you find delight in His plans. You might be surprised at the peace and fulfillment you'll discover.

A professional photographer will guide you on the best locations within Sydney CBD, whether it's a sleek corporate setting, a vibrant urban backdrop, or a more casual environment that reflects your personality. The chosen location should resonate with your professional ethos while also providing an engaging context for your image.
Making the Most of Your Corporate Headshot Sydney
Preparation is key when it comes to a corporate headshot session. Consider the following tips to ensure you make the most of your shoot:
1. Dress Professionally: Choose attire that reflects your professional role. Opt for solid colors over patterns to maintain focus on your face.
2. Practice Your Expression: A genuine smile or a confident expression can make a significant difference in your headshot. Practice in the mirror to find the look that feels most authentic to you.
3. Stay Relaxed: Being comfortable during the shoot will result in more natural photos. Take deep breaths and try to enjoy the experience.
4. Communicate with Your Photographer: Discuss your vision and expectations with the photographer. They can provide valuable guidance on poses and expressions that work for you.
5. Multi-Purpose Use: Think about how you might use the photos. A great corporate headshot can be used in various professional contexts—from your company's website to personal business cards.

Play with Purpose: Yang Fan Academy’s Engaging San Ramon Preschool Program
At Yang Fan Academy, we believe that early education lays the groundwork for lifelong success. Our San Ramon preschool is based on the idea that play is not only enjoyable for children but is also crucial for their growth. In our dynamic and engaging learning environment, we integrate fun with purposeful learning to ensure each child is prepared academically, socially, and emotionally for future achievements.
The role of purposeful play is key at Yang Fan Academy. Rather than separating play from learning, we combine them. Our preschool embraces a play-based learning approach to stimulate cognitive, physical, and emotional development. Through fun yet educational activities, children naturally develop skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, teamwork, and communication.
For example, when children engage in building block activities, they are not just playing; they are learning balance, spatial awareness, and perseverance. Similarly, during creative arts sessions, they are building self-expression, motor skills, and pattern recognition. These activities are carefully designed to align with key educational milestones, ensuring that each moment spent at Yang Fan Academy is meaningful.
Our curriculum is tailored to support a child's development. It blends traditional subjects like math, science, and literacy with creative activities that spark curiosity. Alongside academics, we emphasize the importance of social skills, emotional intelligence, and independence.
We understand that a strong emotional foundation is just as crucial as academic readiness. Children at Yang Fan Academy engage in hands-on activities, storytelling, group projects, and interactive learning stations, allowing them to explore their interests under the guidance of experienced educators. Our teachers observe and assess each child's progress, customizing lessons to fit their unique learning styles. This individualized attention fosters a love for learning that lasts beyond preschool.
Our dedicated team of educators is central to the success of Yang Fan Academy. With vast experience in early childhood education, they are committed to creating a positive learning environment where every child feels supported and valued. We take the time to understand each student's strengths and challenges, promoting their social and emotional growth through group activities and positive reinforcement.
Safety and security are essential at Yang Fan Academy. Our San Ramon preschool offers a welcoming and enriching space equipped with age-appropriate materials, interactive play stations, and creative areas for exploration. Outdoor play is also a crucial part of our program, offering a safe space for physical activities that promote health and development.
Parents choose Yang Fan Academy because we prioritize both learning and play. Our well-rounded curriculum, personalized attention, and nurturing environment ensure that children thrive. By the time they leave our preschool, they will have the confidence and skills necessary for a smooth transition into kindergarten and beyond.
At Yang Fan Academy, we don’t just prepare children for the next steps in education; we create a foundation for a lifetime of learning. Through purposeful play, individualized support, and a safe environment, we inspire children to become confident, curious learners.

Artist Research:
Hélène Binet:
Héléne Binet is a photographer whose focus is on capturing architecture. Within her work, she emphasises the importance of lighting and shadows to show the details of the building and create an atmosphere the viewer can pick up on. She works exclusively with analogue and shoots in black and white, which has a great effect on her work, and the lighting is clearly defined, and the greyscale feels fitting with the concrete future-esque-looking buildings she captures. This is useful to my own work, as when I want to manipulate my photographs, the colouring needs to reflect the scenery and the type of building within the photograph. In an Interview with Dezeen Magazine Binet expresses her thoughts on digital manipulation regarding architectural photography stating, "Digital has made architectural photography very slick – sometimes you don't know if it's a photo, or if it's a rendering, and that I find very disturbing, [...] If you've spent five years to ten years making a building, you want to make sure that the photos are like a building and not like a rendering." This point is interesting to me and my own work as I am working with architecture in my photo manipulations. It makes me reflect on how by manipulating even the smallest thing such as colour, the entire image can change, which reflects the building within the image.
Pete Sieger:
Pete Sieger is a photographer whose main focus is on architecture. I found that he writes articles on his own website about his practice, and at one point he wrote about photo manipulation. He states, "I’m at once ashamed and proud of the finished image – ashamed of the extent to which this image was altered, yet proud of the final results shown here. [...] I must admit that I’m fully complicit in this practice of digitally sanitizing architectural images. However, I remain deeply conflicted, and feel the need to establish proper limits personally. Again, where does one draw the line?" This really stood out to me and made me reflect on how manipulation affects architectural photographs, as one would expect them to depict exactly what exists. The final question Sieger asks regarding where one draws the line on manipulation has stuck with me and I think it should be considered when one is editing a photograph for any purpose other than an artwork where it is explicitly stated that the photograph is manipulated. This links back to ideas brought up in the readings I have done and will help me reflect and think when I am creating my own final manipulated image. Below is an image of Sieger's where he has edited the colouring and removed some parts of the image.
Alexander Spatari:
The last photographer I looked at is Alexander Spatari who is a travel photographer who mainly captures architecture. An image of Spatari's that I was drawn to was his photograph of a man walking towards the Coliseum in Rome. I enjoy the composition of this image with the Coliseum in a central position with the man following suit also in the centre. I think the colouring and saturation of this photograph is really interesting as the photo feels very vibrant and bright, making it very eye-catching. I think due to the scenery and time of day the photo was taken, the level of saturation and light within the image works well with the Coliseum as you can see the light through the window shapes in the walls which gives a warm glow from the inside. Figuring out how the light within the image affects the architecture and the overall image will be important for trying to create a different atmosphere in my own image.
