Work Flow

Emerging technologies is a like a double edged sword it can help but also destroy at the same time. It can create new ways of assistance and be good for people who work individually but also take away the communication aspect and isn't that graphic design is all about. The ability to communicate to others effectively. The problem with emerging tools is that it can be black mirror-esqe and feel inhuman where we all rely on technology and loose that sense of verbal communication like with figjam and calendar organisation apps . Where multiple people can work on the same project at the same time. However, it can also help people who across the world or just in different places in general.

What makes me euphoric and engaged in design in the experimenting part and using different techniques I like the use of cutting and sticking and drawing over and over again. I also love finding inspiration and see new way of doing stuff and finding connections between different shapes and letters and sounds.

• I want to start using notion i like the design of the app and how I can access it through the browser as well and I don't have to use multiple websites or technologies it's all in one.
• I think daisy disk will allow people to clear their unwanted data and cache that is clogging up their laptop/ PC. This will be practical for motion graphic artists and people who are working on a larger scale
• Motion allows people to be more organised with their time management .It utilises AI to automatically plan your day by scheduling tasks, meetings, and upcoming projects. It has a "cute" interface that makes it more appealing to people and its colour coordinated depending of the animated character.

• Eagle plugin - browser extensions to save inspiration directly. It can be good for people who want to try a different font, brush or style, it can be collaborative and good for people who don't have access to all designs. It can spark experimental thinking. However, it could also stifle creativity because of the standard look of design and not creative thinking because a computer can't be as good as a person when it comes up with ideas.
• - clockk is an AI-powered time-tracking app that passively records activity on your active window. It can be beneficial if used correctly and the colour coding can make it easier to track because you can link your day to different colours.

• This can be useful for people who struggle with concentration especially people who have ADHD because sometimes deadline can be difficult so this allows people to create their own deadline which means they can get work done to a personal deadline and can see it visually constantly. This is can be better than using a regular stopwatch online or using your phone cause you will have to switch tabs constantly to checklist the time and the stopwatch can be distracting. However, it is only applicable to Mac which feels quite elitist and capitalistic in the sense that everyone just has to own this type of machinery. I find it fascinating that apple has taken over the tech and this is just the normality
• I find AI tools can be helpful but it can also damage soft skills that we are supposedly to learn for professional work. I see online that younger people are becoming too reliant with it. I find the dependent nature of AI doesn't help with critical thinking and it can't improve peoples' development.
