Brainstorm

The best idea for... getting an idea is probably by a brainwave/ spider diagram/ brainstorm etc. which is what we did today. First we started with an easy one, 'RED', where there were some very strange things that came out of it such as 'winter', 'banana', 'Will Smith'!!! Then we tried doing one for 'New Arrivals' which was slightly harder.

Here's a few of my random trail of thoughts...

Train station- transport- cities
Fashion- models- shopping- money- employment
Technology
Freshers- new places- new faces
Arrival Lounge- sofas
Medicine- illnesses- death
Music- bands/singers/song writers- record companies- money
Babies- pregnancy- nappies- crying- cute
Immigration

NEW: fresh, different, exciting, innovative, unknown, modern, original

ARRIVAL: appear, coming in, landing, entrance

The Beginning...

This blog is my production log for the module New Media! ..................

Way of analysing visual material:
Image
Colour: e.g. red= urgent, danger
Type
Layout

Questions I will be asking:
What?
Where?
Why?
How?
