CMU sketch class: Sketchology

Yeah we were the first year to start the Detox sessions. I couldn’t think of the name…just remembered it had to do with us taking a break from drinking. :laughing:

Great proactive plan! Keep up the good work.

Today we went over ideation techniques and collaging.

Week 4 slides
reediting for citation purposes

This is some really inspirational stuff man, I cant wait to get to that level in those dewalt ideation sketches

That was a really interesting panda-inspired connection we had going on this week.

Last week we started our midterm projects. Each student picked something fun they wanted to design. Last week we focused on ideation, so everyone turned up with a bunch of really nice ideation pages, some compiled, some thumbnails.

Next week we’ll be developing our concepts further.

Week 5 slides: 98150 Sketchology Week 5 by Julius Tarng - Issuu

looks like the class is shaping up! Keep them posting their work. I think it always helps.

Hi Tarngerine,

I might be wrong (apologies in advance if I’m out of line here), :confused: but I just couldn’t find where did you credit the designers and or books, for the sketches you’re using as examples on the slides.

It just grab my attention that some members seem to think they’re yours :exclamation: In my view, some clarification would help to avoid any confusion.

Otherwise I think you’re doing great, keep up the good work.

Hi Surfbitter

Yeah I understand that. About 1/3 of the drawings shown are mine. I did give credit in the first few weeks but then I got lazy. I’ll update with credits:

Week 5: Design Sketching - Erik Oloffson, Klara Sjolen, Andres Parada, Julius Tarng
Week 4: (in order) Nicholas Bodin (Shoes), Zach Hastings (DeWalt project), Luke McConnie (shoes), Zach Hastings again (digital sketches), Niklas Karlsson (spaceships), Design Sketching (Oloffson), Me (julius tarng), Christopher Lavelanet (gatorade)
Week 3: Stephan Angoulvant (I think I was pretty clear this week), tutorials: Scott Robertson and Spencer Nugent , Chrome: I lost her name but some professor somewhere.
Week 2 & 1: I gave credit.

I’ll try to keep it short (Don’t intent to hijack your thread.)
In this case, I’m afraid I have to say your are wrong in so many levels.
Intellectual property and copyrights are not to take lightly, so “… I got lazy…” just won’t do.
Seems to me, you had time to find the “examples”, arrange them in your layout, splat on them some of your text, then publish on the web with a nice cover under your name and email … Nice :exclamation:
When it comes to credit someone else’s work , a half-cooked list somewhere else, with a reference like “some professor somewhere” is just not lazy but, to put it nicely, downright unprofessional.
I’m quite sure you must be aware of the right way to quote and credit sources, ( and get permission to publish etc…) and if you did, it seems strange why you didn’t say so.
Keep in mind, you’re about to step in an environment where laziness and “borrowing” someone else’s work without proper recognition (no matter how good your intentions are) is not exactly considered a professional strength.

Point taken. I’ll reedit the offending slides with proper citation.

Also there’s generally an exception for asking for permission for educational purposes. I’m not “publishing” these for profit. I uploaded them online for my students and thought some people at Core would like to see.

they’ve been reupped with proper credit.

Thanks for looking out for me, and even though you didn’t intend to hijack the thread, this could’ve been done through PM.

On a side note, I believe Carl Haney is giving a lecture at CMU tonight or tomorrow on innovation. Might be in business or engineering deptmartment, but as many designers as possible should go. I’ve worked directly with him, an amazing person. He is VP of R&D at Gillette for P&G and a great advocate for positive change. Sat next to him at dinner last night and I always come away feeling inspired after talking with him. Go to the lecture. Couldn’t find a link but I’m sure you CMU guys can find it.

On it. So far no results but asking around. Thanks!

Good stuff. Glad you could use my work in some of those slides :slight_smile:

Thanks so much Stephen! Your work is super inspiring for all of us!

This week we talked about scenarios, storyboarding, and a little bit of humans.

Slides from Week 6: 98150 Sketchology Week 6 by Julius Tarng - Issuu
Properly credited this time.

Did really crappy demos (attached)



Wish we had classes like this is in Australia!

I’m super happy the class is working out so well!

So how is the school reacting to it? How are the students inside and outside of the class reacting to it? The faculty?

This is really cool, in both execution and concept. keep it up

I just saw this! I know it’s an old thread but thanks for this resource! I’ll try to follow along in the “course” since I’m trying to improve my sketching :slight_smile: I wish I had a sketching class like this when I studied.
