We discussed relinquishing ownership:
01 - Do you usually think your ideas are the best?
Not really, but my ideas that I feel are better are those that I classify as average.
02 - Are you shy in presenting ideas?
Depends on the work, I would be shy if I felt my work wasn’t up to scratch.
03 - Do you hold back your best ideas?
Only if I feel my idea was threatened by another or I felt that I should keep it to myself ( which is generally the case ).
04 - Are you happy when others want to change your ideas?
Yes, I appreciate others feedback but when theres more people telling you what to do, it is a tad confussing.
05 - Are you totally truthful when you are asked for opinions on other’s work?
Yes, I am but I suggest alterations and simple things they could change to make it better.
06 - Would you ever present somebody else’s idea as your own?
No, its WRONG. Take pride in your work, inspiration is okay but the stealing idea is not on.
07 - Would you borrow just a little bit?
Everything has been done before ! so why not, its not wrong to take one part of an image to incorporate into your own design. Because it is yours.
08 - How would you feel if somebody borrowed just a little bit of your idea?
Depends what they stole, if it was the ‘theme’ or overall concept then I wouldn’t feel comfortable but if they borrowed a tiny aspect then I wouldn’t mind.
09 - Do you think you have any ideas that are totally original?
Now and then but very rarely and they are generally quirky.
10 - Would you feel the same way about that original idea in 30 years?
Probably not as time would change the way you perceive that ‘original’ idea.
11 - Does a knowledge of design history help or hinder your idea originality?
It helps me because I see how other people have seen things and that leads me to my own ideas of originality but to create something original is hard therefore knowledge of those aspects of design will also have a negative effect on your mind.
12 - Would you be prepared to sell an idea?

Having an idea and selling it to a company that i felt would use my idea as it were intended and i received a generous pay out :) it wouldnt be so bad either.

Video: How Not To Act In A Workplace
This video shows a few blokes shooting a .700 t-Rex Rifle. I know guns have no relevance in this blog but its a pretty good example of what not to do in a workplace.
OVER AND OUT!
Very good blog here. Generally there is a sense that you are expressing your thoughts in your own words, but there are places where it sounds like a cut and paste.
ReplyDeleteYour research and blogging on P2P networks and copyright laws for example - you have given a reasonable definition of these two items, but not really discussed the topics. There needs to be some reflection. We are not looking for correct answers - more your own thoughts and concept development.
Accurate - but more depth would be good.
