Mapa i brúixola a la vegada, un model d’aprenentatge propi

Mapa i brúixola a la vegada – Un model d’aprenentatge propi (“Map and compass at the same time – A learning model of your own”) is the title of my final degree publication made at BAU Barcelona. The cover features glyphs from Floriane Rousselot’s Nikita. The title is set in Charlotte Rohde’s New Edge 666, and “Look Look” is in CirrusCumulus by Clara Sambot.

Through deep reflection on the perception of time and an analysis of the current changing society, based on the ideas of prominent thinkers such as Zygmunt Bauman and Byung-Chul Han, I question and investigate the tools at my disposal as a graphic design student in a specific context, the BAU University. Using a methodology that combines autoethnography and case exploration, I analyze my academic experiences and competencies to identify patterns and similarities that guide me in defining my learning outcomes. I observe how these shape a constantly evolving and transforming network, interconnecting and combining as I acquire new knowledge, generating an expanding complexity. To give a tangible form to these abstract concepts, I create a visual cartography that acts as a map and a compass, providing a defined self-perception and a guide for the next steps upon my university degree, especially in facing the uncertainty of the future in the job market. Furthermore, the project presents additional elements to complement its understanding. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of reflection and introspection to thrive in an uncertain future.
