Ideas
Posted by evie001001 on November 1, 2007
I’m so pleased i’ve finally come up with ideas for my minor/dissertation, even if they aren’t completely finished.
Dissertation:
- Idea 1) How/why people become addicted to media forms, more specifically Facebook. Displacement, addictions.
- Idea 2) Dangers and benefits of online networking websites. Conducting research on Facebook (specifically). Issues to include ID fraud, personal information, personal safety, online portfolio/work, education, personal development (speech), communication (and lack of one-to-one communication), time/life management, what this means for the future).

We had an intensive day of pitching/coming up with ideas for our majors yesterday which I found very helpful. The 9 questions to apply to my idea helped, and i have been over them again and come up with even more ideas. Here’s a summary of the questions below…
————————————–
1. How can i adapt my idea to another subject? e.g. instead of basing my idea around photography, why not books?
2. What would someone in a different profession look for in my idea? e.g. an Artist might look for Aesthetically pleasing qualities.
3. Could i combine my idea with another product? E.g. my idea + facebook = Facebook application.
4. Can i magnify aspects of my idea?
5. Can i modify the purpose of my idea? E.g. instead of a portfolio website, make ita 3D game.
6. Can i put my idea to other uses? In what other ways can it benefit people?
7. Can i eliminate anything from the idea?
8. Can i rearrange aspects of my idea? E.g. Instead of uploading artwork, draw it online.
9. Can i reverse my idea or aspects of my idea?

Hi Evie!
I think your major is a good solid idea, and the stuff u did on wednesday seems to give you even more ideas to play with. i think you should plan out how much you think will be a the very least achieveable and what you think will be challenging and then if you find that you are on top of things, then plan out what you would like to add to it to make it better and so on and so forth. But just remember that things that you add onto it must be there for a purpose not just because you can build it or whatever….if that makes sense.
Do love the idea though.

Well done you.. answering lecture questions! Also well done for making your thesis sound more specific. I don’t even know where I’ll find the time for my dissertation before our minor presentations, but we have to do something for our review! My question will be: How is the internet affecting modern artists and their art work? (It still sounds general, argh!)
