On Sunday, I went to the final day of the Digital Arts Festival at Shepton Mallet. At 7:00 Rod Dickinson (digital designer) gave a talk on some of the work he did as well as teach us about some valuable lessons in his field and some interesting facts about digital design in general, a lot of the information was relevant to the current course I'm on although I felt as if already knew a lot of this information. At 7:45 Dan Dixon came in and looked into the question of "Can We Educate Creative Technologists?" this session taught us the fundamentals of creative technology as well as the education and demand behind the industry as well as the principles and skills needed. The room we were in was freezing! so I didn't stay much longer, but I made sure to speak to some of the other people there and I met Claire Sully who I had spoken to before via email. I was surprised when arriving that she knew who I was. Not just because we had been in contact, but because of my competition entry a few years back for my A Level project in Media Studies which I will try and post on here as soon as I can remember my YouTube account :)
I also saw a competition entry from a fellow colleague; Mat Gartside. And pictures of Tim Hammond and Tom Gray which were being projected on the big screen - Most probably from a previous year! I also just found out that my lecturer, Catherine knows Claire Sully. Small world, eh?
