Green?

Without traversing into politics, let's take a look at what really defines a movement. Take the Green Party of New Zealand for instance. How does the colour Green ultimately define this political parties movement? Would the ideals and perception of the party change if the colour was for example Blue? Would we view them in a different... Shade?

Just thinking out loud here.

Idea for concept 1

Basically what I'd like to do for my first concept is facilitate our understanding of colour with products. What if Coca-Cola suddenly changed from Red to Blue? How would that effect their marketing? Would we even identify Coke with the colour Blue?

Three days of what?

Update time folks...

So here's the low down, Despite being physically broken and unable to walk crawl or do anything productive I've made some very good and speedy progress in my second assignment for Design Psych. At first I was a little bit iffy over the concepts and I think I still am. But basically you create concepts which demonstrates the ideas you discovered in the readings right? Well I hope that's correct.  Like for instance, I could develop a programme which you could interact with colours and that could do something to initiate some form of emotional/physical response? Bit too much? Well I'm sure it'll work out.  But at this stage I'm just finishing up my writing and going over it again so will be doing my sketches and whatnot tonight/tomorrow morning and am aiming to hand in later that afternoon since handing in on Monday before the deadline is impossible. 

Um so... Yeah like I wrote, I am pretty broken at the moment. I can't walk. Gout. Bit of a hassle. Though I assume it is the gout but I could be wrong.. Maybe I strained something.. In anycase if it isn't better by Monday I will be going to a place which I never wanted to see again... 

Times up.

Lot's of B's for me

Okay so firstly I'd like to admit that a post I wrote oh so several weeks back was a wee bit agro. Don't worry it wasn't honestly meant to cause offense but I do wish to apologise once more. Whoops. Thanks though to my lecturer for actually being all cool bananas about it by giving me the heads up. 

Anywho. 

Update!! 

First Assignment for Design Psychology came back this week. I believe I received a B- for my project. There were some very fair and helpful comments. Which I am now trying to apply towards Assignment two. I have to admit compared to last year I am doing oddly better. Guess it comes down to being more organised and on to it. Though admittedly I did start half way through the year and had no clue how things worked at the Te Aro campus so I'm just thankful I passed. As I promised the Dean of Students I'm upping my game. And it's paying off. 

In contrast to Design Psych, my first assignment for Design as Inquiry came back as a B+ which I found out today during my tutorial. Not bad I think. Still I wish that we had gotten the results back before taking on the next assignment as those comments are important for me as a student to not make the same mistakes. But I'm sure it'll be all good. If not then I'll learn from those mistakes and do better. 

AHHH 

So

Back to Design Psych. My main interest. 

Assignment two. Oh I am sorry about you. I honestly admit that I did start it a bit late. But I did explain why to my tutor and I think he was all good about it. But I've done some more work and have found a bunch of sources. So you know.. Take some baby steps. Be thorough and really make this one count. 
I've decided to really look into the psychology of Colour. Not sure what angle to approach from but will discuss with my tutor tomorrow. 


Now to address another issue. 

Okay so as I have tried to make everyone at Uni (who's important and controls the fate of my education) aware of is that I am well in limbo at the moment. And by limbo I mean that I have had a massive ear infection/issue for the past 6 months and it has really caused havoc with my usual self. Pain without gain. Fun! After a recent visit with my Doctor she sort of concluded that if after a week or so I don't respond to my latest round of treatment I should seriously consider going to a specialist. Yeah it has come to that point. Why? I don't honestly know... I don't have a medical certificate on my wall. In fact all I have is a poster of Duke Nukem Forever. Well I lie. I do have some certificates and other stuff but that's not the point. 

The point is that medically speaking I am a mystery according to my awesome Doctor. Which doesn't help with my uni work as we the pain medication I'm on I can't feasibly do any of the workshop lessons. Meaning that if I have to build stuff I can't. Which is a bit of a hinderance if in the group project they decide to build stuff.  

Okay I'm done for the evening.. I need sleep. Tomorrow. My last class of the week. Then to blaze on with the assignment. BRING IT!
