Today,
We had a logistics report, looked a John Maedas ‘The Laws of Simplicity’ Law 9 – Failure.
1. Using Ten Squared as an example, describe an aspect of your work or something you have worked on, where you have found a symbiotic relationship that is both complexity and simplicity
When we designed the headline for the exhibition, it was a simple concept but the pressure was on to create something with that wow factor and that appeared complex to me. But the relationship of both complex and simple go hand in hand with the finished headline as it appears complex, when in actual reality it is very very simple.
Other people said: Symbiotic – 2 organisms working towards one cause. Creating the video ad, shooting the video is simple but editing is complex.
2. Provide a conceptual example of a situation that has arisen during this project where you have had a return on failure?
The idea of going around and introducing ourselves to sponsors for the exhibition backfired as not only did it take up a lot of time, We COULD have got the desired effect with phonecalls and emails but I felt that going around in person was more personal and we would catch them off guard. This was both positive and negative in response so on one part we failed on the other we had an average success rate.
3. Homework: How are you using the laws in relation to your contribution to The Ten Squared exhibition?
Provide a short explanation and example for TWO of the laws so far.
Use your work towards and your examples.

I use the SHE principle mentioned in Law 1 reduce because I feel that the exhibition is a lot of work to plan and create, on top of creating something to present therefore Law 1: Reduce is one of the Laws that we should be embodying into the exhibition. I am doing this by reducing the time spent on things that chew up a lot of time as there are other things that I could do to help myself further in my exhibition design. Instead of taking on as much for the exhibition I have realized a balance that will allow me to prevent failure.
Law 2: Organize is also a pretty important as one must be efficient to be successful, one must be organized to prevent chaos. I think by organizing my order of blogging and note taking has significantly reduced my homework rate. By organizing a plan of what you know you need to do, what you have done, who you have to meet ect. This make SLIP all the more important for organizing.
Logistics Report:
Company’s are prepared to provide equipment so we need to consider where things are being placed and where sponsored materials are being kept. We discussed the banner printer for students work. Sunita and tee called up everyone on the sponsorship list and they received a number of sponsors that have or are in contact with tee today. We also looked at the floor plans for the exhibition and how much space we will all need for our artwork.
Video:
Yes, Very corny and very plain but I think the message conveyed in this video it important
because failing at something furthermore develops your understanding in that area. If you fail once, you may not fail twice. This video doesn't only shine on the failures but the successors. Michael Jordan for example: He was cut from the Basketball team but growing stronger and with determination he now has 5 MVP (most valuable player) awards, 10 time scoring champion and 14 time NBA all star; just to name a few. That cut form the team pushed him to do better and he did. Everyone experiences failure sometime its what you do with that failure.. Let it knock you down or get back up :)
OVER AND OUT!
