A design student exploring the realms of creativity.

Content is the result of everything we've tweeted about this week. It is the product of creativity, communication, learning, and collaboration. It is whatever tangible or intangible idea one is attempting to convey.

[Eliza Landis @ElizaLandis]

Learning is the ever persistent curiosity of life. It is the mind that is never satisfied, the hands that itch to create, to build, to extract. I think I heard a quote that "learning is sucking the marrow of life." Not sure where that's from.

Creativity is curiosity in action. It is the act seeking the most interesting solution to the crisis at hand, whether that crisis be a painting or an assignment.

@esperansa_vidal It makes perfect sense, almost like you are processing the last 3ish months of learning. It's a form of decompression and analysis. #engl318mu

Collaboration is compromise, collaboration is understanding, collaboration is the celebration of good ideas and the surrender of the ego. When one delves into a mutual pursuit of craft or excellence, then ego must be forfeit. The project's perfection becomes paramount.

Communication is the transfer of information, emotions, and resources. Through any means, body language, verbal cues, emoji's text, or content, all are ways of communicating information.

Critical thinking is the collection and assessment of complete or incomplete data. It is the ability to work your way through a problem.

My How To design will feature digestible material that can be consumed in one sitting. The difference between academic writing and content creator writing is the density of the subject matter. CC's want quick and easy to digest information that is accurate.

Style is the one element of the this project I feel confident in. With my design background I can see the visual elements. I see the holes that need to be filled. It's like a puzzle and all the pieces are right in front of me. All I have to do is put them together.

The routine. That is what I want to highlight. The consistent release of content that makes it recognizable and reliable.

Content strategy is about consistency, consistency of product, consistency of method, consistency of timing. All of these elements are necessary in the release of relevant relatable content.

Revision is like content strategy. It's a muscle memory that is applied every time. It's routine, concentrated routine. Follow the same steps every time until nothing falls through the cracks.

I will be making a recipe video. I have to think about developing a recipe, how to compile the clips, what parts to annotate. I'll be spending the first half of the week developing these ideas and the later recording and editing.

Content Strategy, audience analysis, design... these are all concepts that are valuable to the graphic designer. Whether your working in advertising, editorial design, or UX design. Knowing your audience and having a plan are crucial to the process.

Revision typically looks like spell check, thought distillation, clarity. Anything that could improve legibility or readability. And hopefully... keeping my sanity.

@HannahOSteen_ Remembering multiple hashtags could be a challenge, but I think the overall benefits would outweigh the added difficulty. Either the hashtags or a change in the Twitter formatting, but I don't anticipate that happening any time soon

[Eliza Landis @ElizaLandis]

Something I've been noticing about our hashtag is that when searched, the replies pop up so often, but its hard to follow them to the main post. I wonder if it would be beneficial to have separate hashtags for the posts and the responses. Thoughts? #engl318mu

@Stevenconrad_mu Are you comparing the 3 data points? Or trying to show a correlation?

@MandyNWeaver The multicolored piece is fascinating. I love how you can't tell whether it's a painting or a distorted photograph. It's exquisite.
