  • Research on Design / Conception
    • Typography
    • Layout
    • Printing-methodes
    • Paper
    • Find visuals
  • Drafts
    • Test print on paper / rise
    • Print / Test Text
    • Print Dummy in the American Book Center with Betty
    • Layout different versions of the book
• Production for SI4
  • Order paper
  • Find printer / Bookbinder
  • Deal with printer
  • Visit the printer / watch proofs
• Wiki
  • Scanning
  • Wiki API
• Prototyping
  • Raspberry Pi
  • Use the Command Line
  • Generate videos / use transcriptions
  • Use git
• Writing with Steve
  • Description
  • Concept
  • Blur
• Zine-Camp

What have I learned?

• Design
  • Work with a editorial team / resolve conflicts / discussion / work out compromises
  • Do well-grounded research
  • Making connections to printer / bookbinder / content / tutors (communication skills)
  • Deal with small budget / find solutions
  • Bookmaking
    • End / Beginning
    • Spine / Blurb / Cover

• Archiving
  • What is a archive?

  • Generate Algorithmic Outputs
  • Work with the command-line
  • Use raspberry
  • Use git

• Open Culture
  • Software
  • Culture
  • Licensing

• Writing with Steve

What I see now

• Different approach to using the computer
• Different view on software use – critical approach
• Use licenses
• Get new sense / understanding on software / networks / publishing
• Connecting Design and content
• More focus in the content, than look
• Transfer & apply certain concepts

Practical Things

• network: designers / institutions / locations / paper-supplier / printer

Where do I want to go?

• Interested in connection between Algorithm and Design / Content
• Generative Outputs

Wishlist

• Python
• Machine Learning
• Thinking about tools and its use (theory)
• More connection: algorithm – SI4 / printed matter / archiving
• More feedback?

What I really should do

• Improve reading / writing skills

Questions

• Focus on design still possible?
• More feedback on design / processes

More I think about

• Archive my own work?
• start documentation-site lab.alex-roidl.de
• Install git on my own raspberry
• use my raspberry as a server and connect it to the www
