Professional Practices - Week 21

  Semester B:  Week 21 Student:  Tai Ser Yeet (22064351) Programme:  BA (Hons)(SW) Digital Media Design WEEK 21 Progress on Portfolio I chanced upon a portfolio from a designer at Google and thought it would be good to reference how he describes his design process from start to finish, paying special attention to the storytelling technique, paragraph length, type of images used, and style of writing. The link to his portfolio:  https://www.dousanmiao.com/ I went on to create a template that I could use to write my own case studies (adapting it to specific projects).   ----insert screenshots of portfolio creation from last year ---- Feedback From Dean Add an interesting hero image ...

Degree Project - Week 21

  Semester  B :  Week 21 Student:  Tai Ser Yeet (22064351) Programme:  BA (Hons)(SW) Digital Media Design WEEK 21 Limitations I’ve been doing some work in the A234 room to get my TouchDesigner setup sorted. After checking a bunch of the i9 PC systems, it turns out Machine 16 is the only one in that row that actually has the software installed, currently running an Educational license.

I will be using the 2023 12000 version of Touch Designer when doing work on my laptop from now on.  A few things to note for my workflow: I can do the vast majority of my project on my lap...

Degree Project - Week 20

  Semester  B :  Week 20 Student:  Tai Ser Yeet (22064351) Programme:  BA (Hons)(SW) Digital Media Design WEEK 20 Class Notes In this YouTube video, Katty Kay talks with business leader Jane Wurwand about her "high touch" theory of AI and why she believes the roles that will thrive in the coming decades are those built around person-to-person connection. My Thoughts In a world where AI is rapidly taking over, human connection becomes ever more important. Robots and machines can perform with precision, but they cannot replicate that emotional touch, i.e., high-touch. In the context of a dance performance, nobody wants to see an expressionless robot; we have to think about our spectators as well. They are not robots, the humans, and we connect through feelings and shared experiences. Hence, jobs in hospitality which require human interaction and compassion have a higher chance of surviving the AI pandemic. To conclude, Jane also mentioned that things that used to ...
