NCR Project - Selfish Self Service

The gloves are off. Both fighters have entered the ring. The NCR competition between RGU and Dundee is offically underway.
For the start of the project we were asked to produce an A3 sheet that displays what inspires you, your hobbies, your drives etc. For my board I decided to show that music is my main infulence and also what is going on inside my head (displayed with the random asortment of lyrics).

Digital Natives Project - Unsocial Factor

Mobile phone are seen as a socail tool that helps us connect with the rest of the world. In this video we wanted to highlight the fact that they can also be unsocail to some degree. The idea behind this was to show that if you are part of a couple (you and girlfriend/boyfirend/friend/) and one of you gets a call or a text then the other person feels isloated.

Digital Natives Project - Competitive Environment

For this project the class was split up into group and each group was given different research methods to use for gathering information about how "digital natives" interact with modern technology. My group had to role-play scenarios to display and redefine out findings. In this video we tried to highlight the competitive environment of online gaming and the fact that anyone can join in the fun in a familiar environment (as show by the design studio). This video was enspired by a banned xbox 360 advert and also the fake gun fight that is featured in Spaced.
