DJCAD - Interactive Media Design - Class of 2010 -

This is an online collection of what both myself and my fellow classmates created for our final year major projects. These creations were displayed at the DJCAD degree show and were the culmination of an incredible amount of hard work and dedication from everyone involved.

It had to start somewhere.

So, I decided that it was about time for me to start writing my own blog. I am not entirely sure what I am going to use it for but I thought it best that I start one anyway.

I have developed a sudden urge to establish a presence, and to make some sort of contribution to the behemoth that is the world wide web. I have a feeling that this may be down to the fact that I have just completed my undergraduate degree in Interactive Media design (IMD), soon to be called Digital Interaction design (DIxD), but what everyone seems to simply call Interaction design (IxD) - confusing I know - at the University of Dundee, Scotland. DJCAD and now I am trying to find something to take up the time.

I think that after four years of study, and with a First class honours degree under my belt (Shameless Self Promotion) I am not quite ready for the ‘real world’ yet. This has led me to the decision to increase my debt and to continue my studies at a masters level - MSc Design Ethnography here I come.

I want to use this blog as a personal account of the stuff, things and experiences that I come across on a daily basis. It will probably mainly focus on Design, Technology and Research related topics, but will more than likely look at a number of other creative practices. You can’t help but develop an appreciation for creativity when you have been at art school for so long - That’s my opinion anyway. It will also probably contain some pretty irrelevant stuff, but everyone needs some kind of light relief on occasion.

Right, I have rambled on for long enough. Hope you enjoy - or at least have a little bit of interest in whatever it is that I decide to post here.

P.S.

Here is a link to my portfolio site which isn’t really finished yet and is constantly changing.
