So, Friday was a deadline in our current module, the project lifecycle, where I act as Project Manager for two of the groups. The difference on our projects makes it hard to sum up what the module was about. One of my groups made a complete redesign of a local business, the other have been creating what is meant to be a strategy for Vin & Sprits digital magazine.
Let’s see how it works out on the client presentations.
Since I’m having this blog on both this url and Jochmetropolitan updating takes me about two minutes longer than it used to, that is bothersome. In the future I’ll try to shut down the other and only update the newlaseridea blog. However since almost no one reads neither right now I don’t expect a riot at my house for doing so.
We have just started up the new module The Project Lifecycle and I’m Project Manager for two of the groups, we have real authentic live clients paying us nothing but IF they like what we do they pay the school a small symbolic fee. So, that’s realism down the drain if you ask me.
On the other hand not to be so grumpy (I had enough of that during the Creatives Unlimited development)the contact with real clients with real client feedback is probably a great experience, more on that after lunch when one of my groups actually meet the client for the first time. It’s a redesign of a website that we try to turn into a whole graphic profile. Lets see how that plays out…
Sometimes when I have too much spare time I keep developing a small project named rebels or rebellion, I have small notes lying around everywhere, some short stories in a notebook, and a movie script on my computer. It’s a dystopian tale set in modern times in an unnamed European country where culture is strictly controlled by the government. Illegal clubs and file sharing networks try to distribute art, film and music to the people. The story follows Katie, a short quite ugly girl with a shotgun on her back and Rose, a tall man who distributes contraband top-40 songs as they accidently get involved on the first night of open resistance against the government and the civil unrest that follow.
The project is not developing fast and the final form is not set, maybe it could be turned in to one of these episodic buy online computer games that are so popular right now…
