Although my idea for our Animal Farm project was not chosen i feel that the idea that we picked was a far better idea and would be a different take on the project. Design deck 2 from Sorcha McVeigh

Here is the work that i have done as part of a team for MED 329. I had to create a website, 1 constructed character, a video teaser or trailer, a live offline event/element, a  live community and a  live archive of the project. Here i have included a link to the website that we created. Animal Farm Website Peter Green Twitter News 10 Twitter News 10 Facebook Donald Trotter Twitter

Chapter Three-  Taming Your Tools A famous quote once said; "Creative isn't the  way i think it's the way i like to  live." -Paul Sandip Reclaiming Our Self Respect We have welcomed technology fully into lives - we don't questions it.  We don't see phone calls as intrusive into our personal time. Parks and gym are just more places to 'check in.' Self respect and etiquette are being pushed out of our lives. A break / pause makes lives better and lays groundwork for creativity. We seem to feel that technology makes our lives better their are parts of live that don't need to be made better by technology "A healthy relationship with your devices is all about taking an ownership of your time and making an investment your life." Go for a walk, take the baby in a pram, go on a date etc without your mobile. Not everyone will be a good example - it is up to you where you direct your attention. If it is important they will ca...

Chapter Three-  Taming Your Tools A famous quote once said; "Our intention is to  affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos,nor to suggest improvements in creation... but simply to wake up  to the very life we're living." -John Cage Reconsidering Constant Connectivity Everything is done because we want to connect eg; couldn't see far enough so invented the telescope. We wanted to connect with everyone so created the internet. The internet is both "good and bad" "focused and distracted." The real problem isn't the technology but rather the need to learn when to turn it off. Having a regular habit of unplugging helps to reset your brain and your soul which is a necessity - one day is recommended. It makes you more connected with loved ones and makes you more grounded and creative. We need to be mindful of who we let into out minds. The internet is a positive and negative - there are great things about it put...

Chapter Three-  Taming Your Tools A famous quote once said; " You can do  anything but not everything." -David Allen Using Social Media Mindfully Social media fulfils most basic needs of belonging and self esteem. We receive a small rush of endorphins when we receive a new message. Social media also triggers thew reward centre of our brain making us want to relate our daily activities. While engaging in social media we are unable to give full attention to who or what is right there in front of us. We miss out on the details of our lives. Set boundaries - only access computer in certain time frame. Ask key questions if wish to get online outside of these hours. Key questions to ask self if drawn to social media:  Do i need to share this information now or will it be okay to share it later so that i can live it now.   Am i looking for validation, looking to fill my day. Am i avoiding something. Am i feeling lonely. Am i afraid of missi...
