Unit 2: Freewriting

15 Jan

Attached is the results of my freewriting exercise. One this is for sure, my handwriting is NOT the best! For the most part, I just thought about how the modern church has changed, creating a more diverse group of people who now faithfully attend church and identify themselves as Christians. This let me to dig into who are those people. Are they people who were turned off by fake Christians? Are they people who thought they just could never fit in or belong? But what I really wondered about are people who never identified with any faith, and therefore where never interested in going to church to begin with. What message do they need to see or hear to make them consider otherwise? Where would those messages be and in what form would that message occur?  How often would they need to see that message. What ultimate form of visual communication would most effectively create a seeker out of a non-seeker?

While I think there is more freewriting to be had, it was nice to at least put a little “pen to paper,” or stylus pen to iPad in my case.

Developing my Thesis Proposal

15 Jan

As a part of this MFA adventure, I’m currently taking a Thesis Prep class. This class is supposed to help me create a strong thesis statement, among other things, and hopefully leave me prepared to submit my Thesis Proposal at the end of the Winter 2013 quarter for review. It’s a pretty daunting task as I try to figure out just how to connect my passions with design, while creating an original thought, or expansion on an existing topic that is worth arguing.

For right now, I am plan on digging into how design can be most effectively used to support the mission of the Christian church, particularly as it relates to drawing in people who do not identify themselves with any faith.

Wish me luck!
