principle 4, ITERATION

Iteration is the cyclic design process this means "the act of repeating a process usually with the aim of approaching a desired goal or target or result. Each repetition of the process is also called an "iteration," and the results of one iteration are used as the starting point for the next iteration" for me this is an interesting principle as it is visual, uses creative thinking which leads to experimentation and eventually the desired goal. To find and develop answers, requires a   repeating sequence of thought, action and evaluation. this means that an idea can't just be thought up instantly but has to be rich in skilled thought and knowledge. when designing the product it has to be constantly questioned , 'can it work better, can it look better'. Iteration generates new questions with each new idea makes new answers to solve and this in effect can roll into an even better idea than the one from the start. From my early photography journals, in order to obtain my idea I had to iterate my final projects to see which would look the best. I would draw how I wanted to display my photos and then on the next page would be a contrasted way and so on until I achieved the best results. for the magazine we will be testing the different types of styles that will work with our idea, this might be a long and lengthy process but the final outcome will have gained from this type of research.

principle 1 , DRAWING

Drawing is important when communicating visually as for me it helps let out ideas and thoughts that otherwise can't be expressed through words.'A drawing can provide information on developmental, emotional, and cognitive functioning, hasten expression of hidden traumas, and convey ambiguous or contradictory feelings and perceptions'.  when I draw my thoughts come together and I feel like my ideas can be understood in a different way because as everyone knows a picture is worth a 1000 words .When I was younger drawing was used as a playtime to amuse myself at restaurants or when I was bored, but now that I am older a drawing expresses a different language containing hidden meanings that can be deciphered in millions of ways and I find that fact interesting as no matter where you are from in the world a drawing can be understood by everyone. I am not an amazing artist but I still enjoy doodling pictures and ideas onto paper, it is something that is done regularly and subconsciously by me . My recent photography journals don't just contain photographs but also small sketches and designs as to what I want to create, these small features are what inspire my ideas and final outcomes of the project. Most people like me in the world need a drawing to guide them as they have trouble translating written concepts. Drawing ideas and thoughts will be a main part for my group magazine as they are stepping stones for progressing the ideas received.
