CCDN331: Project 4 - Manifesto

0 Comments
With an abundance of digital technology, it is important to embrace the accessibility of new media and knowledge. Digital technology creates a vast, open field for sharing, inspiration, observation and learning. By embracing and making use of the media available to use, we can push our designs to be better and satisfy our own rubric of success.

The CyberFlaneur is an important character in the development of digital technology and social media. She/He is one that can aimlessly wander the digital realm and look at the beauty surrounding them.

  • Inspire yourself
  • Embrace what you haven't done or seen
  • Enjoy this moment in time
  • Don’t kill anything
  • Design to remember
  • Give context and meaning
  • Always save
  • Look at the digital and physical
  • Use colour or the absence of colour
  • Try something new every day
  • Not everything needs to have a purpose
  • Make other people question
  • Iterate variations
  • Open your eyes
  • Close your mind
  • Get lost in the web
  • Question everything and nothing, but not at the same time
  • Click all the links
  • Instagram it

About

I am a designer, currently studying Design Innovation at Victoria University of Wellington. My focus areas are website and mobile media development, interaction design, 3D modelling and animation and audio-visual space. My blog shows my journey through each project as well as my learning experience through university. What do I want to be when I grow up? I have no idea. But I love what I'm learning. Although there have been many bumps along the road in this journey and despite the fact that there are going to be many more, I wouldn't have it any other way.
