Magazine Workshop- Tuesday, Nov. 17th.
In today's workshop, we created possible designs for the table of contents of the magazine and designs for the inside of the magazine (design ideas that could be common throughout the whole magazine to tie everything together). The group was divided in two and we each worked on these aspects of the magazine. I worked on the designs for the inside of the magazine. I came up with two ideas and people seemed to like the concept I came up with in one of them. After sharing both groups' work, we started to look for ways to incorporate all the ideas we liked together into one coherent design for the table of contents and the inside of the magazine. I learned that in order to make good ideas, you need a lot of them. And i kind of related it to how when the group came back into the stac room yesterday after making their commercial, Luke told them to go make another. You really don't know how much better something can get until you create more and brainstorm more. And i realized it applies to anything in art. Moral: don't be afraid to re-do your art. The next thing create can be better than the previous thing.

There is so much truth in this post... that more is better (at least in terms of ideas), that collaboration can be inspiring, that revision and editing are essential.
