Origination week 11

Answer the following questions as succinctly as possible in your own words
10 mins: Cut & paste into your blog and start answers / 10 mins: Open discussion




1. What does Maeda call the 3 keys?
Away: sometimes you need to take a step back to see the whole picture, 
Open: being open to all things simplifies everything
Power: the less you use the better. use less gain more

2. Describe how you have used these in your work towards UPHERE? Give at least
one example of each key.
with "away" i applied it to one of my exhibition designs, the further away you are from the image the more of an illusion it becomes.
for the handouts the "open" key is applied by simplifying the contents of the handouts to only maps it doesn't confuse the guest.
my designs i tried to keep them easy yet artistic, for this the "power" key is applied. because less effects and graphics the better and easier it would turn out 
( sometimes to much effects will make them clustered and looks messy) 

3. Describe an incident in the production of UPHERE where technology has been an enabler…. and another where it has been a disabler!
Technology has always been an enabler and has helped out a lot along the way. It also has been a disabler! when ever it freezes or messes up a bit it really scares us and especially when we try to save and it freezes up, quite terrifying 



4. At this stage in the exhibition process you are all working on some element or process for the big event. List 3 things (in your current project) that you could take away to simplify and one thing you could add for meaning.


Things to take away


  • took out the use of many colors
  • replaced the hard to read fonts
  • took out text effects
Thing i could add: i added extra text to the image, it matches the theme of the image and i centers all the text to fit exactly in the midil of the circle.
