A list of ways to fail a thesis, World Press Photo inspiration...
... and other miscellaneous assignments Mark gave us for 542.
Ways to Sure-Fire fail a thesis
- Not setting and meeting deadlines
- Forgetting and/or losing sight of the original goals of the thesis
- Lack of willingness to adapt the original thesis into something else
- Getting hung up on unimportant details
- Underestimating how much time a particular task will take
- Not setting aside time regularly to just work
World Press Photo that "grabbed" me
Massimo Siragusa, Italy, Agenzia Contrasto.
(caption) Hot-air balloons float over the main entrance to the Mirabilandia, in Ravenna. Covering some 750,000 square meters, it is one of the largest leisure parks in the country. Leisure time in Italy is taking on a more commercial tone to the traditional simple family excursion to the country or seaside.
(items in bold are things I would like to incorporate into my own thesis)
- freedom
- escape
- encapsulated in your own private pod, but also sharing in a larger experience with others
- dots of vivid color
- individuality/customization of your own space
- something you don't see every day; an experience you don't have very often
- something people always want to try, but can't find time/money for
- memorable
- playful
- serene
