Learning process

During my process as a student here I have trying to absorb as much as I can from the insane bulk of information that I receive everyday. Sometimes I feel that my learning process has been so slow that I have not learn that much. Now, I am in a campaign for convincing myself that I did. Due to my knowledge about “new technologies” was pretty basic I started learning about web design (html, databases, action script) and most of the projects I had been doing are screen-based. I guess it was a good start to immerse in the field. I am still not sure about how much I have absorbed from classes in term of technical skills, but I feel I definitely have a better understanding of “new tech” possibilities and I am starting to fell that I am “on the filed”.

Although I feel surprised about all the possibilities of screen based project, -and I am saying that keeping in mind that I have still a log long way to go-, I don’t want move away from my initial goals. I do not have a specific idea about what do I want to do for my thesis, indeed I have to say that I am pretty lost, but I know some of my interest and domains.

Public Spaces / The city and the way people moves around it.
Environmental graphics
Interactive Design
Signage / Maps / wayfinding
Information Design

I hope this awareness can help me to develop my ideas and come up with a solid concept.

  • The first thing I have to say is that your english, at least, has improved a lot. And I am sure that even if you fell that the "insane bulk of information" has overwelmed you, deep down you have learnes a lot. Maybe you are not aware how much.

    Great Idea to write down your feelings and taughts. It helps put some order in the head.

    Alice ones asked the Chesire cat were she should go, and the cat aswered: it depends where you want to go. She replied she wasn´t sure, and the cat full of wisdom said: You will always arrive somewhere, if you make sure that walk far enough (ooohhh, ugly transaltion, I hope I haven´t changed the spirit of the passage)

    Good look in your trip!
