we discussed our ideas in a sort of open debate today got a good amount of feedback.
truly happy with my idea now.
the discussion brought up questions like
who would use the community?
would people actually like online concerts?
to the first question i think everyone who plays an instrument,maybe not bands that live in close distance to play together..... but it could be used to upload new songs you've been working on and your other band mates could play along at home and have a structure before you meet to jam in person.
second,most people love the atmosphere,feel,smell all round experience of a festival.
for people who live in the middle of nowhere or cannot travel to other countries or people couldn't afford the amateur or even professional concerts could be broad casted over the web for pay per view fee.
i think this would fit into a lot of other peoples lives, as to the subjects addressed in death to an author in web 2.0
"we have a desperate thirst to be original and different"
this would be a place for original artists to an extent,to portray THEIR tastes and not using band names to express their personality's and tastes like you would see on web 2.0 communities such as face book,bebo and sometimes my space.
this community could be used by the musical people of our world for "a no holds barred quest for self expression" through music.

definate decision on design futures
I've come to a decision, i going to make an online social community for musicians.
a place for people to trade ideas and get feedback on there music they have written etc.
the thing that will make it stand out from the others is that you will be able to jam with no delay over the web thus being able to form online bands.
this can be brought further that there can be online concerts set up online and sell advertising to famous musicians selling there new album etc and sell advertising to companies that make instruments.
maybe include a 1 minute add in my presentation and start building hype.
make simple black white and red posters basically saying "is music your soul mate?" and
"was your first love music?" with no connection information to the website for about a month. This would get people wondering what these are related to and eventually put up the address of the website.
i think this would build up suspense and maybe get people interested before they even know what there truly interested in.
the website would include
to be honest this would be harshe website, they would be no room for bandwidth wasters.
such as people uploading there boring covers of famous songs.
straight away bad effects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"will this destroy traditional band practice, in musicians parents garages and steel containers by docks?"
"will this in turn drive people further away from each other?"
"will it drive the nail further into splitting face to face in person communities?"
" eventually will people even need to leave their home?"
e-learning,e-shopping food and material,online face to face chat,online concerts?
what next?
will people eventually live in an inpiersible bubble not even venturing out side their front door.
will i help in this trend?
possible name for website
jamming for the jaded
musical therapy
music for the masses

the website would include
- instant messaging
- face to face chat
- chat room
- a place to upload your own songs and be saved on the server and this in turn would immediately copyright your work.
- a place where users would upload guide guides on there chosen instrument to help out other musicians in playing a new style.
- a music bank where musicians can search your uploaded song and write music over yours and if they are happy contact you and trade idea and music.

Back to Reality,Two Weeks Down
Monday the Sixth
Handed the design future briefs,initial thought
What?an ad campaign
Through further reading began to make sense.
Not only are we media students we have to see into the future and predict what will happen!
Thanks God for Science Fiction. Truth.
Later That Day
We began to discuss basic design concepts,really basic what colour conveys which kind of mood basically,the thirds so on.
Then we were given a task an advertisements campaign.
Jack and I choose to go with the visually impaired ad campaign.
the idea was to basically to take two people 1 blind the other seeing.
We were going to put them through basic everyday tasks.
Scene 1
the blind person and seeing person trying to prepare breakfast before work,the seeing person
burning himself trying to make a cut of tea and stumbling around the kitchen cursing etc.
the blind person has a routine and has no trouble with this task,humming away to himself "happy as Larry."
Scene 2
The next scene crossing the road to work.
you can picture the blind person knowing the safe route but the seeing person is having trouble and being very fearful and reserved.it would then go into very quick clips of first person camera to the different people. to distinguish between them the seeing persons could see a slimmer of light through his bands around his head and the other difference the seeing would have heavy breathing suggesting panic.
the blind persons view would have a heightened sense of sound so the traffic flying by would be much louder and obvious.
Eventually the seeing man gets crossed.
Scene 3
this is where the 2 people are set up in work in front of computers.
the boss man is giving out because the accounts are not finished and they're given a deadline in the next hour.
this is where the blind man takes flight ahead of the seeing person.
the seeing person has hes sight given back
the seeing person begins to sweat he camera flashing back between the clock on the wall and the seeing person,the deadline is near.
this is where the blind man prevails and keeps hes cool.
the ad would be aimed at blind people in the work place for employers.
basically saying blind people are just as valuable as anybody else.
In the afternoon we were asked to go search for good designs and bad design and what we like about them.
Other
Mood boards
Great way to get feed back and direction from a client
Tuesday the Seventh
with Rona basically we covered the same basic design principles as the day before.
the one thing i really enjoyed about this class was

with Rona basically we covered the same basic design principles as the day before.
the one thing i really enjoyed about this class was
Fibonacci Sequence
I've had major interest in this since i watched and bought a film called Pi
This is a very possible dissertation heading for me
This is a very possible dissertation heading for me
The Fibonacci Sequence In Art
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc
This opened a conversation between myself and Rona, i believe in it and i think the Irish Celts realised this also, they found the spiral to be the symbol of ever lasting and eternal life.
they carved it into standing stones all over Ireland but it has been found all over Europe.
Sunflower head displaying florets in spirals of 34 and 55 around the outside
The proof of this sequence is endless!
Design Rules Discussed
Diagonal Rule- Russian and Chinese propaganda
Circle= Warmth and protection
Patterns
broken patterns-repetition etc......
Wensday the eighth
Design Futures
Marshall McLuhan keeps coming up in conversation s borrowed a book from the library
Medium is the Message
"when the circuit learns your job, what are you going to do?"
so far a great read.
My ideas so far are basically a projection in theatre of a film where your headset reads your emotions and therefore chooses where you go next in the film.
the aim that most people will come with different perspective on the film because they have all experienced in some parts a different movie.
Micro chipped music you can update through blue tooth,also maybe a headset where you can watch films as you travel from your microchip.its powered by wireless power.
another interesting topic that popped up was the knock on effects of technology and peoples reliance and almost "addiction to technology."
the effects it will cause in future like psy wise.
that people eventually will grow so attached to there computers that people will eventually start having burials for they P.C.s.
a funny thought but a realistic 1 so say the least.
