#54 – Review – CASE CLOSED!

WOW – I can’t believe this is it… the final post.

What have I learned… where will I go… after all this.. do I still want to major in this… YES!

Although a few times I have gotten a bit overwhelmed.. mainly because I bit off more that i could chew in the production part of my posts.. overall I have actually really enjoyed coming up with fun things each week.

At the start of this semester I was clueless as to how I would come up with ideas, that were originally, different, and showed my ability… well, i realized the answer is, you just do it.. don’t think about how hard it will be, just start thinking about anything.. let your mind wander, go new places, try new thinks. Make things, it doesn’t matter if they suck.. odds are you probably learned something new in the process of making them.

I truly can’t wait for the journey ahead! – Next stop Story – with Scott

Oh yeah, the post… haha almost forgot. “Review”…..

I thought about how I could combine the finalization of this post, with the directive of review. Well 1) I wanted to make something and 2) I wanted it to represent closure.

I think I was actually watching Law and Order, or something like it, when I came up with this idea.. ( I know – GET AWAY FROM TV to think… but it just came to me.) – Whatever I was watching I heard them say.. “Review the case file”… well bam..I knew what I had to make… I had to make a Levi’s case… and officially CLOSE IT!

I sort of just started cutting and glueing and this is what I came up with.. enjoy!

# 34 – Independent – Bridge the Gap with Brainstorming

So… This is actually an update to this post .. But I figured I’d post it at the top.. I just got on blackboard and saw that the weekend inspiration- for this coming weekend I assume- is about the left and right brain.. I think they just posted this today.. But regardless I hadn’t seen it when I made this post.. Cool though

The Brain is an amazing, and actually somewhat humbling thing… And while it dependent on oxygen…it is also a very independent organ..and if you think about it abstractly..

The Left and the Right sides of the brain are very independent of one another. Yes, they are wired together, but the way they work and the way we use them cause them to be separated from one another.. So they are independent and free to do their thing…

The Left Brain is Analytical, while the Right Side is Creative.

So, I guess the majority of us in this class would say they are “Right” brained..

Well, what is cool about this class is that we are forced to bridge the left and right sides of our brains.. I can guarantee that the thought “Levi’s” has annoyed and brained each side of our brain over the past weeks.

Levi’s as a brand is actually helping us bridge our own gaps, and by combining both sides we are able to think in ways we may have never ventured into before..

Here is little picture I photoshopped together to accompany this post– It represents Levi’s being the bridge that is bringing together our ideas, with lots of brainstorming inbetween — On the right i added some of the creative designs I have made so far in this class, and on the left I added the textual and research part of our assignments and the directives..

Here are two charts I found online… I would have created them myself.. but I thought this was sort of a neat way to show it.. the first is obviously created by a “Left Brained” person… while the second creator probably tends to be more “Right Brained”… just sort of a cool way of demonstrating the differences between the way the two types process information…
