Part 2 : Creative Report

Ready by the end of the year

Interviewing Your Heroes 
Interview or conversation, is there a difference? While a conversation is more spontaneous they both seek to acknowledge opinion, reasoning and methods.

Interview with Michael Wolff highlights he's never worked with or for someone he hasn't liked. The client plays a large role in the project, he asks clients why they run for example this bank, what is the purpose what do you wish to achieve? People will usually say money, yet he argues money is earned thanks to something you create that gives joy to others. He doesn't like the word client as this relationship should be based on mutual respect.

"People will forget wheat you said forget what you did but will remember how you made them feel." Maya Angelou

If you don't encourage your curiosity you don't encourage your creativity.

When interviewing you should make sure you're prepared with questions as well as things in the back of your mind if things don't go to plan.You should practice your ability to manage silences using prompts, probes, checks..

Transcribing 
This can always take time however using new mac technology this can achieved easily and edited. Consider intonations and pauses as part of the interview including how individual words are stressed.

Artist
I'm thinking of getting in contact with artist Benjamin Murphy, I met him briefly a few years ago but was too shy to ask too much, he uses black vinyl tape and spends hours cutting intricate details, covering walls, floors and frames. I love his gloomy stylised work and favourite exhibition being a collaborative room he filled, project entitled 'Morella' with artists Pang and Sophie Mason:

I've done at least 2 artist researches on him in college / foundation / uni. I actually have him as a friend on Facebook as I tried my luck after I met him and followed him on Facebook, however again have always been too shy to get in contact. He lives in London so I could potentially meet him face to face when I'm home or could use Skype/ Facebook to get in contact when in Leeds.
