So today was officially our first day back at uni, and we had an introduction with our new course leader...

I wrote down some notes from her presentation - she seems really passionate about our course, which I'm really excited about. I definitely think she will be very pro-active and involved with the students.

NOTES:

PROACTIVE + VISIONARY

Important skills to develop:

- multi-tasking 

- opinion making

- concept creation

- visualization

- problem solving

---> awareness of craft and technology are essential

**Field trip to Raffles Design Institute - Beijing!!!!** (possibly)

Creative Business Practice

• to apply an idea and see how it would be received by the market
• the realism of business
• the ambiguity of the job market
• no more 'job for life'

E-COMMERCE ---> The way forward

*Dissertation should link to FMP

Start thinking about my specialist identity!--->R2W?

Design isn't always about signature acts, but about collective & interactive gestures.

That is all, Goodbye.
