Initial thoughts

Ideas generation






To start my ideas flowing I have looked into the key words related to this project. From these I have looked at dictionary definitions, synonyms and related themes.

I've found it interesting to look at the words in a broad sense and particularly found the following ideas interesting...

  • ideas of music (repetition within music)- 'repeat' having its own musical symbol, like a broken record repeating itself 
  • patterns repeated accross textiles and colours/ graphics- different types of repeats eg half drop
  • Broadcasting- re-runs of programs 

I dont know if somehow within a final presentation or something that we produce we could include audio to add to the repetitive theme?


Multiple and craft



'Multiples' the idea of having numerous parts, elements or members- repetitive

CRAFT- I like the way that this comes in a variety of different forms but with a common thread of skill in making things by hand. However, I was interested to be reminded that theres a different form of 'craft'- to be crafty has a negative connotation and is more to do with being cunning, sly and sneaky...

  1. I like the idea of sound being involved, which could be interesting if we were to create a video. This could provide 2 elements - the visual of the video and sound. If we were to do this we need to think about the relationship between the two, and how they would link together.
    I hadn't thought about the other definitions of craft - in terms of crafty. I think this is an interesting idea though, but not sure how this would tie in with our other ideas.
    We seem to have lots of ideas and directions, so I think we need to decide on an area to focus upon. :)
