Creative Futures Week, 5-9 March 2012, Glyndwr University
5 March 2012
Today, i started the day by attending the lectures in William Aston Hall. Unfortunately Professor Maurice Cockrill RCA wasn't able to attend due to his health issues. We had a lecture about William Shakespeare's life. To follow that Angus Montgomery, editor of weekly publication Design week gave some advice about how to promote ourselves, how to make ourselves appealing and how to break into industry. He shared many different quotes such as; "Design is a special skill.", "You need to be collaborative", and "You have to love what you do." by him. He showed us many examples of successful artists; 300 million campaign; Stop sex trafficking of children and young people, One laptop per child, Plumen light bulbs, Your journey through A&E, B&W studio, Resonate and some students; Sam Grey, print work 'Vertigo', Allen Cloack with Olympic Games Project. In the afternoon I attend to Copyright lecture by Janet Jones. She has given suggestions about how to avoid copyright, protecting our copyright. There were 4 myths about it; copyright can protect my ideas, post your work to yourself to prove copyright, I can use %10 of original materiel without infringing copyright, everything on the internet is in the public domain and so free to use. Also some students in the theater shared the problems that they faced before such as; a guy who makes websites had a client, he copied something o his website and it was checked and seen that it had copyright, he has been sued by the company who had the copyright of it. However it wasn't his fault. He struggled to get it sorted and persuade to company. Following lecture i attend was "Getting started in Photography" with Paul Hermann is the photographer and the director of Redeye Photography. There were a lot of quotes he shared like; "Work hard and be nice to people." on Wallpaper, "Logic, rhetoric and maths." by Iain Bennett. He talked about "What do top photographers have in common?", "How the photography fees should be applied?", "21 things you can do". That was the last lecture of the day. I found all the talks beneficial but the most i enjoyed was about the photography due to my interest in photography.
