discussion of found/discovered ideas vs original creations
idea generation lecture: forced connections
forced connections exercise
using a random word generator from the interwebz, generate 10 adjectives and 10 nouns. pair those with your symbol to get new ideas. adjective example: gigantic star, makeshift star, lewd star, ordinary star. noun example: soda cross, attraction cross, girls cross, game cross, tongue cross. yeah, it can get weird, but give each of your words an honest try.
work time / review new ideas
priority will be given to those who i did not talk to in recent classes
things to keep in mind and plan for:
that you have at least 100 ideas at this point. more is better.
that you are budgeting time to produce any of your more complicated ideas. since the volume is high, you won’t be able to dedicate much time per idea. balance quickly-produced ideas with more detail-oriented ideas.
critique is one week from today. plan your production and poster printing accordingly.
