Exercise One: Introduce Yourself

Your first Exercise is to perform a number of administrative tasks that will help our section of Research Studio: Social Space 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.
-A photograph of you, that clearly shows your face.
-A brief description of where you see yourself in 10 years. You may want to be the next great starchitect, a town planner in northern Ontario, or a designer of virtual landscapes for computer games - or perhaps you don't see yourself as a designer at all. Be honest, be bold, and be concise.
-1 to 3 visual examples of constructed environments you find inspirational. These may be drawn from architecture, landscape, the cityscape or a perhaps a virtual world. Do not provide any identifying or explanatory text, but be prepared to discuss your selection(s) in a future class.

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, then revise it.

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

Exercise One is due at 8:30AM on Thursday, September 18. Exercises will typically always be due at the beginning of the subsequent class.

On to Exercise Two!
