1. State of the art, project management and documentation

First of all, we started exploring the former students's pages of Lyon where I discovered a lot of amazing projects, then the first global lessons of week 01 with students and instructors all over the world.
Key is ... documentation !
Documenting everything means freezing into steps to reffer to its, all the time. I had some confusing times with the markdown language and Gitlab backoffice, having similarities with HTML, which I learnt a long time ago, during my infographic studies. Easier but different, so here is my first new skill.

Having to learn and practice Gitlab at the same time, and write our profile, our wishes, influences, skills, ideas for future classes requires a lot of attention; especially when you have to write in another language. Fortunately, the Google translator is quite effective at self-correcting.

markdown / HTML

as I want my texts justified both sides, I have to use HTML for a big part of my texts

First step about adding contents on my page :

  • changing my favicon : favorite icon

  • changing the style of the template > material

  • changing the font (I wanted a more narrow one) > source sans pro

  • changing the icon > asterisk

  • organizing the homepage

  • writing down my profile

  • digging worthy pictures

  • adding links to my instagrams and to references

Research & Ideation

I have a very dissipated way of thinking. Everything at the same time, and lot of digressions. So, when I have to start to combine ideas, structure my thoughts, it’s a hard time. Compiling all my thoughts to make them look like something organised is tough.

As we started to exanche ideas and inspirations, I decided to list new things here for me :
About kombucha - Suzanne Lee

Super exited by exploring new ways to imitate natural fibers such as cotton, linen, silk, and also new leathers. For this one I am keen on Ictyos.

I love the collabs between fashion designers and sport or technical brands, like Stella McCartney did for Adidas. Or more lately, Gucci.
