"When image says more then words..."
This Pin-up will focus on visual communication and informative images.
Imagine we lived in a world without words (or that you just would like to compress meaning into non verbal information). Images can communicate as well as text, but off cause it is a skill to handle them.
“We have spent the last 100 years inventing less demanding, less time-consuming alternatives to reading: radio, TV, movies, video games, the internet and now mobile phones that can take and send pictures…we are following the advice of a million symbols, signs and logotypes. There’s a symbol that stands for something every where you look.”
“World Without Words” by Michael Evamy
Try to visualize your thinking.
Make 6 A3 posters (laying format), where text and images communicate as image, explaining what you have done and what you already think you will do but haven’t done yet. Use your knowledge about layout and narratives to express the main intensions and important details, than if necessary ad explaining text.
Place your posters at a table, (three lying posters side by side in two rows), at Hyllan Thursday afternoon.
All groups may attend all presentations.
Juan Carlos Peirone, teaching applied aesthetics, will be our guest.

Sorry, we won´t be there.Andrea and Matilda
Regarding this presentation we have some questions:
First of all, why is this presentation to be in physical form,(and a very specified such) when we have been told from the beginning that the end result should be some kind of digital storytelling?
Secondly, why is it nessecary to have a "part time presentation" in a project that, really, is just a couple of weeks long? This creating of a second layout, specific for this presentation, will take too much precious time from our progress in the project.
Thirdly, we will not deliver our presentation on thirsday. This has to do with two things.
One, we have chosen to work in Lund, since it's too expensive and time consuming to go to Alnarp several times a week.
Two, we are attending a lecture with Jeppe Aagard Andersen in Lund on thursday afternoon.
Best regards, and hoping for answers.

OK...interesting! A bit confusing since Fredrik said on the friday lecture (16/2) that the "big" PIN-UP would be on thursday next week. We will do our best to be ready for the presentation on friday.

This is not a big pin-up.
It is a way to put focus on visual comunication since we noticed that several groups didn't work with visual sketching.
6A3 Doesn't mean that you should make posters for presentation, if you are in a sketching stage, this is what you will put on your posters. Let the posters show that you are in an elastic stage where you're still searching.
We have had questions on how projects can be visualized to comunicate more direct and think it can be an oportunity to focus this pin-up around this.
This way we can secure an even more consecvent presentation the 1 of mars when we will have external guests.
Hopefully all projects will benifit from the discussions that your posters may start.

Sorry...we ment the lecture on monday (12/2).

The presentation on friday is an answer to two questions, first we have had some questions on graphic design, and thought that an internal presentation with Juan Carlos could be a good opportunity to discuss this matter. Second we feel that the majority of you produce to little graphic material. So 6A3 is what you should produce per group per week anyway. 6A3 doesn't mean 6A3s filled with compact info, it might as well be a quite sparse presentation. See it as a way of practising communication!
I can see two pedagogical approaches here. Either we set you free and you present something at the end presentation. But we want to help you along the way as well, therefore meetings, presentations etc every week. To tutor you and maybe also to make you come up with new things every week!
Andrea and Mathilda, why no presence on friday?
