So this
is a post about the idea behind this blog. As student at Dundee College we had a very interesting
subject: Professional Design Practise. 10 year ago you needed a web-site to promote
your work and process was so complicated. Now in our day and age of technology
it’s complicated and easy to promote what you do using internet. And the task
for this subject was: created blog, about Dundee as city, what is inspires you
in Dundee; how it’s influences you design practice.
As I mentioned
in the info about me I’m Russian, hence reason for my blog to be bilingual:
English and Russian.
My family
lives in different country, I reach out for them, but blog could be a
connection to show my work to my friends and family.
I live in
Tayport, Fife at the moment, but I come to college every time by crossing
bridge. Dundee for me all the time was: place you get to by crossing the
bridge. If bridge is closed, I can’t be
there.
The other
thing, in my design practice I don’t use only information that I get in college and
around here, but I use internet and blogs from all over the world to find
information as well. I mix all of that and create something new.
So for me
all the time I was thinking about Dundee, College and my design practice I was
coming back to the bridge, I was building bridge between what I do here in
Dundee , Scotland and what people do around the world: so that’s why this blog is named: Building Bridges.
So in
future I will be building more bridges: will write about things I do: college, DIY
and any other projects, interviews with people I meet here and all over the world, other people work that
inspires me as well . So please follow my blog for more interesting posts.
