The Dude… of smart graphics

This was fun. Really. And it wasn’t expected to be like this. The course was called “smart graphics” and I liked it. And one reason was the teacher…

Security techniques in communication networks

Really this sounds like a topic for comp science people, eh? Believe me, it is. The course had weekly lectures, two longer presentations (nearly 4 hours each) at some weekends, several multiple choice tests and two bigger submission tasks and finally a half hour of an oral exam.

I knew this

Really! But I don’t know how and I don’t know in which relation I know things teached here. Media Didactics or didactics in general. Maybe I had some basic knowledge earned in a project or in my diploma thesis days.

The Art of Motion Graphics

At the university I’m currently in a course called “Design of Motion Graphic Interfaces” and one assignment is to create a video clip consisting of four parts matching the following requirements:

the 1st part should introduce me
the other parts should be related to given chapters from Hararis “Homo Deus”
you’ll have to use given techniques (like greenscreening, shape-transforming, alpha-masks,…)
try to avoid cliparts and copyrighted content
and intermediate sequences should glue everything together

At the university… again

Don’t know if midlife-crisis hits me hard yet – or something else – but now I’m officially a student again. It’s (nearly) the same course of studies as twenty years ago and if I read the module handbook I find a lot of similarities. But as I said – 20 yrs – a lot of time, a lot of changes and I’m really a little bit afraid of the things to come.
