Today was the first time meeting my supervisor for this project. Her name is Miriam Sorrentino, a Senior Lecturer in Graphic Design, Branding & Advertising.
At this point I have a vague idea of what I would like to do for my project - which is how advanced technology, specifically smartphones affect human behaviour, interaction and socialisation. I will be constructing a multi-media campaign to raise awareness of this topic after completing creative research and practice based research.
I have submitted my second proposal form a couple of weeks ago, however I do believe my idea will now change slightly from this after I have finalised a more specific topic. Although, it will remain definitely to be about smartphones or tablets negatively affecting human behaviour.
After my meeting with Miriam today, she guided me on the things I need to think about to specify my topic. I took notes of the things we discussed and in particular the things I need to do to get my project moving.
We decided that my topic is not specific enough and there are many things I need to think about to make my project successful.
We spoke about how I need to define the point of view of my research, which means who I am speaking on behalf of when using research, and what I want to achieve with my research.
Miriam also provided me with books which will help me to develop a strategy and decide on a specific topic. Once I have done this I will need to think about what research I need to do and the sort of people I will need to talk to for this.
This was a successful first meeting and I feel confident that before our next meeting I will have precise topic to move forward with which I will begin to research in depth.
