Week 2’s what is a wallet exercise was intended to be completed in classes with my fellow students, however, because of the world ending classes have been moved online, so I have tackled the task on my own. My wallet has been with me for a very long time, before this wallet I mostly had those velcro kiddy wallets. My mum thought enough is enough. I am getting way too old for such childish things so she took me to a leather goods store and had me pick out a more “mature” wallet. And if I’m being critical velcro wallets are far more effective in keeping the contents safe inside the wallet. My wallet travels in my left front pant pocket everywhere I go. It carries my money, my debit cards, my identification, my myki’s amongst other things. This task was a little challenging as I felt as if sharing this task with others had the potential of a larger list of nouns, adjectives and verbs.

I loved this task, I felt the reason behind me liking it so much is because I believe I learn more with a visual aid and I love drawing, so naturally I would love this task. I felt I went a very simplistic route with minimal detail in the steps so that I could clearly communicate my message. I thought it would be fun to ask my dad who is a graphic designer to do the exercise as well. I presented him with the instructions of the task and we both began our diagrams in separate rooms, mine was done pretty quickly he took forever. eventually, we revealed to each other our visual processes of how to make toast. evidently, they are very different. Dad went the “If they don’t know how to make toast they won’t know what a toaster is” path and he proceeded to try and justify it by saying “this is how we did it in the old days”. As funny as this might be to me he isn’t necessarily wrong, this is a way in which bread can be turned into toast and I feel he has communicated this effectively too.
