Although I had already seen the PDF of the course materials it is always exciting to get the box emblazoned important learning materials! One of the joys I have found of life-long and life-wide learning (Redecker et al., 2011) is that as I get older I am much clearer about the best way to approach my own learning. I can recognise the moments of anxiety and confusion and sit with them more comfortably, reasonably confident that at some point I will move forward. At the moment I am aware of a niggling sense of trepidation as I move into what feels like a different field and away from the photography modules.<\/p>\n

There are several things I know will help me at this point:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Immersion: getting a sense of the field, its history, its contexts, its movers & shakers, current debates and future directions<\/li>\n
  2. Pattern spotting: for me this is about making connections with things I have some knowledge of, by finding connections I recognise it gives me both an entry point and helps steady my confidence. Finding frameworks like Gestalt, rule of thirds and some familiar designs (even if I didn\u2019t know the designers) has all helped me see a way into GD1<\/li>\n
  3. Doing stuff: getting stuck in straight away on exercises both in the course materials and from other sources. Sketching, collecting postcards, noticing more of the graphic design around me<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, as several books arrive I am playing, sketching, pinning, collecting and focusing on the things I can do. As opposed to looking ahead and focusing on the things I might think I can\u2019t do at the moment like use Illustrator properly or design a logo! Postcards here I come\u2026!<\/p>\n
