Introductions Instructions

Your first task is to perform a number of administrative tasks that will help our section of Form and Structure run smoothly.

1) Join the blog. I have sent a message to your OCAD email account inviting you to join the blog. You will need to set up a Google account if you don't already have one.

2) Make a post to the blog. Include the following.
  • Your full and (if different) your preferred name, and your OCAD discipline.
  • A photograph of you, that clearly shows your face. This is so that your colleagues and I can identify you.
  • A brief description of where you see yourself in 10 years. You may want to be a small-town architect, the next Karim Rashid, an art director in New York City, a freelance illustrator, or a textile artisan -- or perhaps you don't see yourself as a designer at all. Be honest, be bold, and be concise. Your answer to this question will help me tailor this course to your aspirations.
  • Three visual examples of Forms and Structures you find inspirational. These may be drawn from any discipline. Do not provide any identifying or explanatory text, but be prepared to discuss your selections in class next week.

3) Curate your post.
Presentation is always important in design. Publish the post, and see what it looks like. If you're not happy with the spacing, the image quality, or the graphic composition of your post, revise it.


Please title your post "Introduction: [your preferred name]." For example, my post will be called "Introduction: Jesse Colin Jackson." Please label your post with the 2.0 Introductions label provided. Please consistently follow these conventions for titles and labels in the future.

Please make your "Introduction" blog post as soon as possible!
