Today when we came into class Jimmy had a series zeros and ones written on the board in a weird pattern. Jimmy explained that this was binary numbers and judging from the pattern he had already written we were to try and figure out the next three binary numbers for 7, 8 , and 9 already knowing what 1-6 was. The class was pretty stumped at first. But after staring at the variations of 0's and 1's we began seeing a pattern and all had agreed on a combination for the next 3 binary codes. Jimmy asked if we all felt okay with this and Audria didn't so she explained her idea for the next three numbers and convinced a little over half the class to change the original idea to hers. Myself and a few other class mates weren't convinced that her idea worked and after going back and forth we still had no clear class decision. So, we looked at Jimmy to see what the actual binary codes are for 7, 8,9 only to find out he wouldn't tell us. This exercise took up majority of he class time. We did this exercise because in design we will have to convince our clients that our ideas work by communicating our ideas in a language in which they understand. We have to be excellent communicators in the field of design. The class was unsuccessful in choosing one clear idea for the binary codes and in our career paths this does happen.

After this exercise we went over the remainder of the 10 images with one headline homework assignments. And like Monday a lot of them were unsuccessful.
