The return of the Assignments

So we are back from our holidays and straight into design studies. The book ‘Snoop: What your stuff says about you’ by Sam Gosling was suggested a good read particularly for our first assignment, the book looked into the idea of a person’s belongings and environment being able to revile their personality.

We were paired up at random with other students from different departments, making sure we did not know them in able to make it work. 

 At first glance I feel this person is quite a girly girl, the big bag of different colourd  wool  makes me think that she really enjoys her area of study(textiles) and may be into several traditional craft methods. The two pinkie coloured cushions made up of different materials and shapes, I think this may have been something she’s made herself may have been influenced by the colours and flowers, I think this person makes a lot of textile things in her spare time and has been doing so for a little while know and uses it as a way to make some extra money maybe by selling some pieces. Theirs a made collage of photographs of family and perhaps of her younger years growing up, this shows she is a person who is close to her family and holds her friendships close which also leads me to assume that she may make her friends/family little textile gifts. There’s a few art works displayed around the room, she has placed one of two birds above her bed I think she likes these colours and the subject matter, and since she has chosen to hang it above her bed it leads me to believe this painting is somewhat personnel to her and that might mean a lot.

Theirs a pink guitar in the corner, again another girly colour think she has interest in wide ranges of music, including acoustic she may have been playing for a few years, perhaps learnt got lessons in school. Likes to go out see live bands with friends and have a good time.

I think this person is a nice childlike friendly person, as there are more ‘cuddle’s’ up in the left hand corner on top of her shelf, some look quite old, she has held on to them because they’re precious to her cant part with them, or keeps them for memories of her childhood and her relationships of the people who gave them to her, Again says gets on well with family, friendly person may like to reminisce bout pass times and childhood. Although the pink and red spotted bears a few shelf’s down look like something they may have got recently, Looks like something may get out of craft fairs exhibitions, which makes me think she may like going to these sort of things, and may even buy herself a few pieces just to collect a bit of art.  A few books not sure what any are, except the first aid book, which I don’t know maybe she has taken a class in first aid or she’s just being sensible.  Looks like a tidy organised person, so she may be this way when it comes to her studies likes to be organised and on top of things.

This picture made me assume that she likes cooking with the cook book in the corner and oven mitt, there are a few old looking ornaments up on shelf’s near the windows, many of them cats which I there is a bowl on the floor again with girly pink colours which shows they may have their own cat, which says they like animals and is a caring person. Also think she may have an interest in birds after having the painting in the bedroom and several puffin ornaments. Well that’s my thoughts and assumptions, hopefully I got a few things right.

Ok so the next thing we were to do was to exchange our findings. Below is a link to see what was said about me. Pretty much everything was spot on.
