Innovation is certainly about putting ideas into practice – making it real.
Sarah Chaloner (Deputy Chief Information and Digital Officer Head)
Unfortunately I had missed the anticipated ‘May the 4th be with you’ workshop, but looking through the provided lecture slides uploaded to vUWS, this quote on Sarah’s presentation stuck.
My favourite part of MBFWA is the street style posts where guests are snapped in their MBFWA outfits. I love seeing the different outfits collated, who’s wearing what, how they style different pieces and what’s on trend for the new season. Fashion is a way to express your creativity through clothing. What you wear and how you style yourself not only shows creativity, but represents who you are as a person. Not only am I deeply inspired by the clothing (and wish that I could afford them), but it encourages me to wear as I wish, express my own individual style and hopefully inspire others to do the same. I feel as if the fashion community and those who attend events such as these, accept, encourage and welcome all to be open to individual creativity and design. I would love to one day be a part of this community and truly understand fashion as an art form.
Sadly, all the video compression in the world would not lower this video below 100MB so I could upload it onto my Tumblr. Thank you for watch, check out my T...
Sadly, all the video compression in the world will not reduce my ‘Blog meets Vlog’ video into a file less than 100MB to upload to Tumblr, so I have instead uploaded it to YouTube. This is the end of my blog, so I would appreciate it it if you took the time to follow the link below and watch my closing thoughts…
Me during week 13 of #CID16
Slight over exaggeration but you get my point.
A Brief Recap of a Wild 13 Weeks
From being like Jon Snow and knowing nothing, to now feeling like the most insightful person on the planet, I’m amazed how much this unit engaged with me and challenged my thinking.
From learning about what creativity is, to the importance of collaboration, to finally how Star Wars can be linked to design thinking, the structure of this unit has been crazy to what I’m used to, but has made a very big impact.
The questioning and understanding skills I have learnt from this unit have been a great help this semester, and will continue to be throughout my degree.
Who knew 13 weeks ago, this would totally change my way of thinking, and change my grades from credits and distinctions to distinctions all around.
Thanks for the insight #CID16, make sure you stick around for my brief ‘blog meets vlog’.
Design Thinking - Step 5, Testing
This was the most nervous step, but the one that helps the most. By presenting your idea and getting feedback, you can now fix issues and begin to built something great!
I remember listening to the class and hearing these wild ideas about virtual classrooms seemed crazy, until we had people (Mainly Obi Wan Kenobi) explain these ideas can be made real, and are currently being developed to become real at our university.
This got our group thinking things like this would be fantastic for our project, as we need to think of ideas on how to get students to be physically engaged for a whole year.
This step also allows you again to receive insight from others, which you can then apply to your own creativity and innovation.
Design Thinking - Step #4, Prototype
Who knew adults playing with lego would actually have a purpose?
Although my lego skills are poor, this fun little activity really gets you thinking and allows you to be super creative and innovative, without even realising.
I guess a prototype at uni would normally be a draft paper or rough summary of ideas, which you begin to work on. But by actually sitting down and building a physical item, I think you begin to think deeper.
This step I think will be very important to remember in the future, and for the group assignment.
