Keep it Simple, Stupid!

Last week I had my first tutorial, I may have mentioned before how pleased I was with the tutor I was assigned – I don’t want to go into details because I link this blog everywhere and JUST incase the other lecturers read this I don’t want to hurt any feelings – but this particular tutor really shared my ideas on how good design does not have to be complicated.

Just because this is an MA does not mean we have to get lumbered with design terminology. He said during this tutorial that he operates under the KISS Principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) and that so does the university.

In my opinion, if your work is good then you will not *need* to talk it up with “big words” you should be able to establish the meaning of your work in a couple of sentences or it’s too complex, and also possibly too diluted.

I’m really optimistic about the remainder of this first unit of work, I know I will definitely start freaking out when I begin unit 2… which is the one where I need to define that I will be working on for my final major project (unit 3)… but for now I am having the time of my life. Really!
