On Wednesday we worked with Decimal and Binary number. Jimmy gave us a problem to solve as a group, and he told us that binary numbers are only 0 and 1 and that 2, 3, 4 and etc are not binary numbers. He told us to look at the pattern that we saw in the binary problem and from that we would be able to figure out the numbers for 8, 9 and 10. This was the problem that he gave us:
Decimal Binary
0 0
1 1
2 10
3 11
4 100
5 101
6 110
7 111
8 ?
9 ?
10 ?
Then he told us to come up with answers of 8, 9 and 10 of the binary numbers. It wasn't easy. At first we came up with these binary numbers for 8, 9 and 10, 1000, 1001 and 1110. Then Jimmy started to ask the group if we all agreed with these numbers. One of our group members said that she didn't agree and she came up with the numbers 1100, 1101 and 1110. At first I agreed with 1000, 1001 and 1110, but I started to look at the pattern of the binary numbers and it didn't go with the pattern. But when our group member came up with 1100, 1101 and 1110, these numbers made more sense and I agreed more on these numbers being right. After Jimmy asked the group if we all were in favor of these numbers and our group got split with people that agreed and disagreed. After this Jimmy talked about methodology and how important it was as a graphic designer to be able to explain to a client a project and if that client didn't agree with you, that meant that you would have to come up with other ways to explain it to your client. In the end I learned that this exercise was not easy because we as group couldn't get everyone to agree with the numbers that we came up with. It also made me see that with our client there will be a day where I will have to use other methods to make my client see what I'm doing for them.
