1. State of the art, project management and documentation

Chaotic computer desktop

This week was focused in setting up our personal sites and learning to use markdown language. This was all very new to me but I found my footing after a bit of trial and error. We also talked about some open source image and video editing sites and I worked on editing some old work and gathering inspiration images. I also cleaned up my very messy, chaotic desktop to prepare for lots of image editing to come!

For this week's purposes I kept my code editing pretty simple and got used to uploading and inserting media, adding hyperlinks and headings.

Learning Process

Here is my little cheat sheet for edits I made this week

#Titles

##Headings

     You can also play with size and alignment
    ![image description] (../images/folder/image name){ width=300 align=right }

[Hyper link text] (https://website.com)


I also played with a grid to show an image for each week that links to a unique page
This is my default image I will fill in as the weeks progress

Current inspirations

These are some images I'm thinking about as I begin my fabricademy journey! I am very intersted in combining organic and synthetic materials to question my own ideas of "naturalness". I also have a facination with weaving drafts, modular patterning and the symmetry of historical craft objects due to their paralells to digital things.

I'm not sure yet where my fabricademy journey will take me but I've started collecting inspirations for the coming weeks. I plan to begin each week with a mood board as a jumping off point. However I would like to remain open as I know my ideas will shift as I take on so many new skills and techniques.
