In our day to day undertaking there are two things which are very important in whatever we do and that is time and color. Let me start by explaining why I consider time to be important then there after we will look at colors. Time can cost someone to miss a flight, a weeding, a meeting, a class etc. If not properly managed things might fall apart and as the old saying that says time wasted can never be recovered! I am happy that we have been able to work us a team and kept things on track with the courses now in progress that is course three and the medialab who at these moments are concentrating more on creative and technical skills. Ok, do you know why color is important in our daily life? Let me try to explain in brief, since the time of Jesus color as been all round and as been used in many ways for example for expression, attraction, therapy, communication etc. I came to understand more about colors when I tried to imagine color in association with something. Let us look at food versus color what is you favorite food? Mine is ugali and usually it’s served as ‘white’ in color and this give me appetite to eat more and more I could imagine if is green in color for sure I will not eat it. This is just a few of the many examples.
Course three students have been learning about color theory, color vs. culture, color vs. personality etc in preparation to the next classes which focus more on the technical knowledge using Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash to make website.
Yesterday image lesson was one of my greatest lessons with the students. Without contention images speak louder than words. The most interesting part in this lesson was the mood board whereby we had a character by the Name Jessica and we gave her attributes like she loves fashion, she is 20years, she like sports, she is educated, ambitious, she likes partying etc. We had the six groups and each group was to make presentation (collage) of Jessica’s attribute. And here is what the student comes up with….. Let the presentation speaks for themselves…
This was the best voted presentation from a panel of Medialab team
My thanks goes to the medialab team for making the day successful with their positive suggestions and evaluation which will help the students understand design elements, and off course by voting the best presentation.
