Collaboration and Choice of Topic
Empathy | Define | Ideate | Ex-Change

This week we got into our pairs and began to define and ideate a particular topic to research. We have chosen to go for how children are affected through divorce, but give it a more light hearted perspective to help them through it. We have just started to look at imagery and how that plays along with the statistics and research we gather.

Before getting into a pair, I was quite worried if our ideas would work out and how we would compromise. This paper is so broad and we could choose any topic we want but we eventually decided we wanted to work on family wellbeing. After working on our poster formats, I have understood quite a bit more from that poster exercise in terms how imagery may correlate with a statement. 

With the Ex-change, it was very interesting to see how other students are taking on this idea of well-being and inter weaving it through their majors. Next time I will be able to take more work and get a fresh perspective rather than just through a VCD perspective.
