Ways to Fail in My Project
- Personally:
A. Inadequate communication skill: I have a language barrier. It is a big problem to me an international student from another country not using English. What’s worse is that the barrier sometimes makes me shy and passive. That’s more likely to interfere my communication with other people. Consequently, it could ruin my thesis project.
B. Lack of creativity: I worked in the game industry more than 6 years as a designer. I think my work experience has side effect and has been obstructed my projects. When I worked I had to design only commercial things. Sometimes, I was supposed to imitate existing successful games to make money. I think that could have badly influenced my creativity. In previous projects, I focused on just mediocre ideas. I have to get over it.
- In general:
A. Lack of communication: We’ve had only a little communication about our projects and things we’ve been doing. I think more communication will be required for our thesis projects to make it more creative.
B. Lack of skill set: To make physical things or digital things, proper skill sets are needed. Of course, during design process, it doesn’t seem to be a problem. However, without enough skill, nobody can complete his or her projects.
World Press Photo
The photos cover a huge range of issues from political issues and wars to entertainment. Some of them deal with entertainment issues. I think those could help my thesis projects in more philosophical ways.
This photo proves a theory that the archetype of entertainment originated from rituals. Also, it talks about one of the most controversial issues in current entertainment industry, intellectual property. The photo of Bungee jump shows various aspects of entertainment.
For me, this photo is really impressive. This photo shows a kind of narrative created by an ecosystem. It is similar to the way sandbox games create their storyline. Out of the system of the game, the narrative is created unintentionally.
