Final Speech in AE

Final Spech done is AE

Final Package



Why i decided to make this product


Because Alyssa spends most of her time in the pool swimming, and studying, I decided to make a device that would combine both of these activites.


This Product is an audio player that lets you record your teachers lecture during class, and enables you to transfer the lectures to two small squishy ear devices.


This product is the new mutitasker. This product allows you to swim and listen at the same time.

Round 2: Packaging Project

Now that we have done the research and picked a product; which was the audio ear plugs, that are going to call E-wave, it was time for some exploration.








Round One: Packaging Project

The first step of this process was to follow my roommate Alyssa Potter, and this was not out of the ordinary considering that she is my best friend. I documented her on a sunday afternoon, and the things i found out were quite interesting. The three examples below are my first interpretation of my findings. The three attempts consist information about Alyssa's life goals, who she spends most of her time time, and what she does on a day to day basis/ hourly basis.

Overview of the semester

I think the project that had the most impact on me this semester was the workbook. At the beginning i thought this project was going to be a drag and impossible to finish; considering we got the assignment over spring break and i did not have a mac to work on the assignment. Thankfully we got some extra time and i really got a chance to get into the assignment after all the content was put into the book. This books is something that i will carry everywhere with me and i will always have this book to use as a resource. Sine next year i don't have Andrea as a teacher i am going to be living off this book. I'm really glad that i got a chance to do this assignment. Not only was this project the most inspirational, but it was my favorite project of the semester. I cant say enough how excited i was when it came home and found out that my book came in the mail!

How Creatity is Being Strangles by the Law

Notes
  • anime music videos
  • taking and recreating things digitally
  • if you have $1500, you can have access to a computer
  • copy right
  • businesses need to embrace free content
  • living against the law
  • Younger generation is different than his generation. I liked when he said that his generation just watched TV and the younger generation is creating it.

Overall i thought this talk was pretty boring, but there were a few interesting parts; definitely the visuals help put things into perspective. I do enjoy listening to the ted talks, they are informative and usually pretty interesting.
