I wish that when people in Creative Tech show something they say "is cool", that they would take the time to expand on what exactly do they mean by it. How is that interesting or valuable to you? Why? For whom? For what? Then what?
Help us see what you see, show us what's behind the eye candy.

Promising Gem
It was Friday evening. I was sat at my desk in my room, browsing YouTube like you do in the evening. Eventually I found Myrin (aka Jacob Dawson). He’s a first year student at AUT like me, but he’s studying product design and makes vlogs about design practice and self-development.
His video on learning design drawing in 20 hours (seen above) is quite inspiring to watch. It reminded me of doing Design & Visual Communication in high school, glimpsing that first glimpse of the world of design and all the problem solving and different levels of intricacy that come with it. My teacher who I was quite close with taught me that while I was great at all the technical computer stuff, my physical drawing skills let me down. I’m missing out on being able to communicate my ideas so much more effectively!
What piqued my interest in the video was the idea of developing your skills in weak areas to build you up as a whole. The vlog Myrin made really inspired me to try to develop my own skills in design drawing, to fill in those weak points, to develop my visual communication skills like my teacher said all those years ago. I’d be able to create better stepping stones for people to take a glimpse into my imagination, which will be super helpful in the future, whether it be in concept art, back-of-the-napkin sketches, or meeting room pitches.

Leave your Comfort Zone! Do it wisely tho
Had a good korero today with students about the challenges of self directed learning. It's hard! I'd say this is the "hardest" skill in creative professions. Agency can be as overwhelming as it is liberating.
When your ideas say more about your world view and values thank the "problem" you are trying to "solve"

There were some interesting discussions today in class about data and algorithms. This list should provide some pointers to inform opinions and contextualize experiences.
