Arthur Vince: /* Picking the right location is crucial for the interview. This decision must be taken considering the type of deliverable you pick. */

'''Picking the right location is crucial for the interview. This decision must be taken considering the type of deliverable you pick.'''
 
 
If you already have an idea in mind of what you want to obtain, decision making is crucial in the process. If for example you are planning on doing an experimental interview, like a silent interview or any other method that pushes the boundaries of what comfort zone is then it’s necessary to think through which type of situations bring forward the required elements.
 
 
When a traditional approach is preferred and you want to obtain as much information as possible on certain topics like the alumni’s professional experience or maybe more personal topics, a comfortable situation is crucial.
 
 
Besides the actual space where the interview takes place, through our experience we have learned how important it is to stimulate or reward the experience by adding small details like bringing snacks, drinks or even something to scribble on.
 
 
Some of these insights we learned on our visit to the Nonstopcollective studio, they had a bowl full of stroopwafels and plenty of pear juice. One of their tricks with every client presentation!

FIN:3. Different deliverables of interviews

2015-04-19T21:59:47Z

Arthur Vince:

==Unedited Interview==
An unedited interview can sometimes be an interesting form of delivering the final piece. Especially when we are dealing with short interviews, the unedited transcription can bring some humorous content. An unedited transcription can also be chosen for conceptual reasons, but that will depend on the content, the context of the interview and the alumni that was interviewed.
 
 
In our experiments we tested out this deliverable with the interview we had with George. We met up with him at the academy and had a few beers together, as the amount of beers we consumed increased, the content was quite funny. The unedited version of the interview was a reflection of the state we were all in. This method helped us bring forward the topics of the conversation as well as the information about the context.
 
 
==Edited Interview==
This format refers to traditional interviews where the most important or interesting content is edited to make it readable. This form includes the subjectivity of the editorial team as they are the ones making a selection of the content that will be brought forward. This traditional approach is suitable when there is a certain message that wants to be communicated through the interview.
 
 
We chose this deliverable for Remco Blom’s interview, were he gave Lukas a tour around the KABK. In order to make a direct, short piece that would be interesting for someone else to read many unnecessary details had to be eliminated.
 
 
==Visual Interview==
A visual interview can be composed on photographs, drawings, illustrations or random visual material found anywhere. By choosing this option you are already saying a lot about the alumni you interviewed or the circumstances that evolved around the interview.
 
 
The visual interview can be based on photographs that were taken along side the conversation and then used as the final piece. The other option is to have the visual exchange of material as the only source of dialogue and use that as the final piece.
 
 
Either way, it’s a creative way to present a dialogue. Besides, the visual interview can give room for more content generated through the comments as the interpretations of material are infinite.
 
 
==Videos==
A recording of the meeting can be an option when the meeting took place in different locations for example, or when the context of the interview is relevant to the content. For example, to show a museum tour, a short intro of a workspace, a Skype conversation etc.
 
 
A video can be used as a unique piece or it can be combined with other deliverables like an edited interview or a visual story.
 
 
==Bullet-point Interview==
A bullet-point interview is another solution similar to an edited interview. It takes the form of a list, where selected information is included and it’s suitable for cases were a lot of information was shared. We chose the bullet-point deliverable for the Nonstopcollective interview. Our meeting with the upcoming design studio was full of interesting content, a lot of questions that lead to a lot of answers sometimes not too elaborate to build a full article. By choosing this deliverable we were able to include all the information in a way that makes it easy to go through and at the same time informs of many different aspects that might not be directly connected.
 
 
==Voice Recordings==
Voice recordings can be used as raw material with no editing or they can be edited and cut to build an interesting story. This deliverable is interesting when the sounds of the atmosphere add something to the content of the interview or when there isn’t too much unnecessary noise.
 
 
We chose this form for the studio 75B. Pieter Vos, one of the designers and directors of the 75B studio gave our class a lecture together with Hidde van Schie about books and publishing. The lecture had already a prepared structure which lead the content in an interesting direction so editing anything wouldn’t have had much of a point.
 
 
==Article==
An article can also be a solution to present final content. Using an article as a deliverable normally means that the answer-question format is transformed into an informative piece of text. This can be a useful format when the answers received in the interview are elaborate and a certain topic is discussed for a considerate amount of time.
 
 
We used this deliverable for the interview we had with Willem Besselink. We had a two hour interview with him and spoke about several topics. One of them was the differences on art education between Germany and the Netherlands. By eliminating the formulated questions and editing the answers we created an interesting article which informs about his personal experience on both countries.

FIN:2. Different methods of transcribing

2015-04-19T21:58:29Z

Arthur Vince:

====When you transcribe your interview, you usually start with some form of recording, like sound, video or simple notes that you took during the conversation. Often you will want to transform these recordings in some way in order to release an article. You should also make sure that the alumni that you interviewed are ok with the changes you made, and consider their wishes when they ask you not to publish a certain part of the interview.====
 
==Unedited transcription==
Even when publishing an unedited interview there is some choices that you have to make and things you should be aware of. You have two major options:
 
*Release the source material. This is probably the least edited form of an interview. You can chose between releasing your entire source file(s) or making a selection, as in cutting the sound files/video or releasing only a section of your notes. Be aware that this selection is already a form of editing.
 
*Transcribing your source material. You can also transcribe your source material. When doing so, there is several choices you have to make. You should also be aware that there is no such thing as an objective transcription: Every form of transcription is already a form of editing and as such subjectively influenced. While transcribing you also have to make a couple of choices. Try to be aware of the effect these choices will have on the reader:
 
*How organised will your transcript be? Do you correct spelling mistakes you made, do you use proper punctuation? Do you include erms, ums, etc.? If so do you do so in an organised fashion? An example of a transcript that intentionally does not pay attention to these things would be Andy Warhols novel “A, a Novel”. You have to be aware that less corrections mean less readability, but tools like this can be used as a formal point for example.
 
*Do you correct syntax? For example, do you exclude fill words like “like”? Do you correct grammar mistakes that people make? Again, think about whether you want to make a formal point or whether you want to create something that is readable. As a reader it can be very difficult to follow an unedited transcript of spoken language.
 
 
==Edited transcription==
In order to create a more enjoyable experience for the reader, it is probably a good idea to edit your article. Of course, while doing so you should try to stay as close to the original meaning. There is several different ways of transcription, which will also greatly affect the outcome of your article.
 
 
*Filtering unnecessary information
 
*This is probably the most common way of transcription. While going through the interview you consciously pick certain parts of it in order to make the article more concise and to the point. This can mean cutting a video/sound file or filtering out certain parts of your produced texts.
 
*This also gives you a lot of chances to create interesting content from a journalistic point of view.
 
*There is a lot of different techniques you can use: You can leave out things, sum things up in spoken language, or even only write a summary of the events.
 
*Differentiating interviewer from interviewee - type weight, colours, paragraphs..
 
*Listen to the recording once and take notes on the important topics discussed then go back to the interesting parts and transcribe them.
 
*Listen to the recording and write down bullet-points of the facts that occurred so that it becomes a third person narrative.

We chose this form for the studio 75B. Pieter Vos, one of the designers and directors of the 75B studio gave our class a lecture together with Hidde van Schie about books and publishing. The lecture had already a prepared structure which lead the content in an interesting direction so editing anything wouldn’t have had much of a point.
 
 
===Article===
An article can also be a solution to present final content. Using an article as a deliverable normally means that the answer-question format is transformed into an informative piece of text. This can be a useful format when the answers received in the interview are elaborate and a certain topic is discussed for a considerate amount of time.
 
We used this deliverable for the interview we had with Willem Besselink. We had a two hour interview with him and spoke about several topics. One of them was the differences on art education between Germany and the Netherlands. By eliminating the formulated questions and editing the answers we created an interesting article which informs about his personal experience on both countries.

===Unedited Interview===
An unedited interview can sometimes be an interesting form of delivering the final piece. Especially when we are dealing with short interviews, the unedited transcription can bring some humorous content. An unedited transcription can also be chosen for conceptual reasons, but that will depend on the content, the context of the interview and the alumni that was interviewed.
 
In our experiments we tested out this deliverable with the interview we had with George. We met up with him at the academy and had a few beers together, as the amount of beers we consumed increased, the content was quite funny. The unedited version of the interview was a reflection of the state we were all in. This method helped us bring forward the topics of the conversation as well as the information about the context.
 
 
===Edited Interview===

This format refers to traditional interviews where the most important or interesting content is edited to make it readable. This form includes the subjectivity of the editorial team as they are the ones making a selection of the content that will be brought forward. This traditional approach is suitable when there is a certain message that wants to be communicated through the interview.

We chose this deliverable for Remco Blom’s interview, were he gave Lukas a tour around the KABK. In order to make a direct, short piece that would be interesting for someone else to read many unnecessary details had to be eliminated.

===Visual Interview===

A visual interview can be composed on photographs, drawings, illustrations or random visual material found anywhere. By choosing this option you are already saying a lot about the alumni you interviewed or the circumstances that evolved around the interview.

The visual interview can be based on photographs that were taken along side the conversation and then used as the final piece. The other option is to have the visual exchange of material as the only source of dialogue and use that as the final piece.

Either way, it’s a creative way to present a dialogue. Besides, the visual interview can give room for more content generated through the comments as the interpretations of material are infinite.

===Videos===

A recording of the meeting can be an option when the meeting took place in different locations for example, or when the context of the interview is relevant to the content. For example, to show a museum tour, a short intro of a workspace, a Skype conversation etc.

A video can be used as a unique piece or it can be combined with other deliverables like an edited interview or a visual story.

===Bullet-point Interview===

A bullet-point interview is another solution similar to an edited interview. It takes the form of a list, where selected information is included and it’s suitable for cases were a lot of information was shared. We chose the bullet-point deliverable for the Nonstopcollective interview. Our meeting with the upcoming design studio was full of interesting content, a lot of questions that lead to a lot of answers sometimes not too elaborate to build a full article. By choosing this deliverable we were able to include all the information in a way that makes it easy to go through and at the same time informs of many different aspects that might not be directly connected.

===Voice Recordings===

Voice recordings can be used as raw material with no editing or they can be edited and cut to build an interesting story. This deliverable is interesting when the sounds of the atmosphere add something to the content of the interview or when there isn’t too much unnecessary noise.

Arthur Vince:

====When you transcribe your interview, you usually start with some form of recording, like sound, video or simple notes that you took during the conversation. Often you will want to transform these recordings in some way in order to release an article. You should also make sure that the alumni that you interviewed are ok with the changes you made, and consider their wishes when they ask you not to publish a certain part of the interview.====
 
===Unedited transcription===
Even when publishing an unedited interview there is some choices that you have to make and things you should be aware of. You have two major options:
 
*Release the source material. This is probably the least edited form of an interview. You can chose between releasing your entire source file(s) or making a selection, as in cutting the sound files/video or releasing only a section of your notes. Be aware that this selection is already a form of editing.
 
*Transcribing your source material. You can also transcribe your source material. When doing so, there is several choices you have to make. You should also be aware that there is no such thing as an objective transcription: Every form of transcription is already a form of editing and as such subjectively influenced. While transcribing you also have to make a couple of choices. Try to be aware of the effect these choices will have on the reader:
 
*How organised will your transcript be? Do you correct spelling mistakes you made, do you use proper punctuation? Do you include erms, ums, etc.? If so do you do so in an organised fashion? An example of a transcript that intentionally does not pay attention to these things would be Andy Warhols novel “A, a Novel”. You have to be aware that less corrections mean less readability, but tools like this can be used as a formal point for example.
 
*Do you correct syntax? For example, do you exclude fill words like “like”? Do you correct grammar mistakes that people make? Again, think about whether you want to make a formal point or whether you want to create something that is readable. As a reader it can be very difficult to follow an unedited transcript of spoken language.
 
 
===Edited transcription===
In order to create a more enjoyable experience for the reader, it is probably a good idea to edit your article. Of course, while doing so you should try to stay as close to the original meaning. There is several different ways of transcription, which will also greatly affect the outcome of your article.
 
 
*Filtering unnecessary information
 
*This is probably the most common way of transcription. While going through the interview you consciously pick certain parts of it in order to make the article more concise and to the point. This can mean cutting a video/sound file or filtering out certain parts of your produced texts.
 
*This also gives you a lot of chances to create interesting content from a journalistic point of view.
 
*There is a lot of different techniques you can use: You can leave out things, sum things up in spoken language, or even only write a summary of the events.
 
*Differentiating interviewer from interviewee - type weight, colours, paragraphs..
 
*Listen to the recording once and take notes on the important topics discussed then go back to the interesting parts and transcribe them.
 
*Listen to the recording and write down bullet-points of the facts that occurred so that it becomes a third person narrative.

FIN:1. Different types of interviews

2015-04-19T21:41:50Z

Arthur Vince:

==Studio Visits==
Studio visits have been one of the most popular ways of interviewing the alumni. Many of the artist/designer who are still active have preferred to arrange a meeting at their studio. Their work space is normally where they archive their work, which makes it easier to understand the process behind their profession.
 
 
Through our experience we found this approach very rewarding. Not only does it make the meeting more intimate but it also benefits the editorial team in terms of inspiration and knowledge that is useful for their own career.
 
==Brunch/lunch/dinner by the editorial team==
Inviting the alumni for a meal gives the editorial team a more active approach towards the meeting. This gives the interviewers more control over the situation deciding on a location, the time of the interview, the type of food etc. All these factors will definitely affect the result of the interview, it can emphasise certain topics more than others and it can give space for unexpected conversations. This is a great solution when you feel like taking full control over the situation…and as they always say, food is the best way to share moments with people!
 
 
The downside of this approach is the fact that the editorial team has to deal with buying food or drinks, so it runs on personal budget! However, with a bit of creativity and motivation an economical lunch or dinner is never hard to obtain.
 
==Silent Interviews==
If your intention is to step out of the expected behaviour a silent interview is definitely something to try out. This experimental approach will allow you to put the alumni in a unexpected situation which was not previously informed. The interesting outcome of this type of interview is the reaction of the alumni. By tying to cross the boundaries of tradition you can encounter very funny results or on the other hand quite unfortunate reactions…but you know, no risk no fun!
 
==Museum Tours==
Who doesn’t enjoy visiting museums? Most of the alumni,wether they are still active artists or designers or not will probably love a visit to a museum! We all come from art school and the passion for creativity probably remains all the way! This is a perfect chance to focus the interview on current art or design issues or maybe on a more historical view. Either way the result can be some extremely interesting content of exchange of opinions and knowledge related to the art world.
 
 
The downsides of this approach are the museum tickets, not so cheap normally, unless you have a museum card and finding a time and date that suite both the editorial team and the alumni, normally going to a museum takes a minimum of two hours.
 
==Skype Conversations==
Skype conversations are not the ideal way of initiating a dialogue with someone but in some cases it’s the only solution. This approach is very suitable for interviews with alumni that have left the country and live elsewhere or for situations when a physical meeting is not possible due to differences in schedules.
 
 
The good point of this approach is that it’s very time effective as it can be done from anywhere where a computer is available but on the other hand the interview will probably stay at a more formal level affecting the final content.
 
==Switching Roles==
Through are experimentation on new forms of interviewing we tried out a switch of roles. This particular method is a great way of breaking the ice. It allows the interviewee to take the leading role and by asking questions of his/her interest the sharing of information flows on both directions.
 
 
This approach makes the meeting less formal and serious allowing more personal topics to emerge. This can be interesting when the editorial team is trying to generate content that isn’t only related to the actual profession of the artist or designer.
 
 
The benefits of this approach are that it can be combined with almost any other method of interviewing, adding another layer to structure of the interview.
 
 
We tried this out when we visited the studio of Nonstopcollective and it lead to some interesting facts about our taste on music and our favourite places to go out which lead us to find similar interests between us.
 
==Confrontation==
The confrontation method is something we still haven’t tried out, however we believe it’s full of possibilities. Meeting up with two alumni at the same time can benefit the interview by making it more dynamic. The alumni that you choose to interview simultaneously can have very different approaches to their profession. This would create an interesting dialogue about the differences in their work and the reasons for their particular approach. Depending on who you are interviewing, this can also lead to certain confrontations which can also be interesting. But remember, if this is where you want to take the interview you must keep in mind the downsides and know how to re-direct the conversation if something goes wrong.
 
==Visual Interview==
A visual interview is a creative approach when trying to create a dialogue. Communication occurs in many forms that don’t have to include write or spoken language. By exchanging visual material one can reach unexpected results which can also conclude on beautiful pieces. This approach can be an option when a physical meeting is not possible due to differences on schedules or when the alumni lives in a different country.

Their work space is normally where they archive their work, which makes it easier to understand the process behind their profession.
 
Through our experience we found this approach very rewarding. Not only does it make the meeting more intimate but it also benefits the editorial team in terms of inspiration and knowledge that is useful for their own career.
 
==Brunch/lunch/dinner by the editorial team==
Inviting the alumni for a meal gives the editorial team a more active approach towards the meeting. This gives the interviewers more control over the situation deciding on a location, the time of the interview, the type of food etc. All these factors will definitely affect the result of the interview, it can emphasise certain topics more than others and it can give space for unexpected conversations. This is a great solution when you feel like taking full control over the situation…and as they always say, food is the best way to share moments with people!
 
The downside of this approach is the fact that the editorial team has to deal with buying food or drinks, so it runs on personal budget! However, with a bit of creativity and motivation an economical lunch or dinner is never hard to obtain.
 
==Silent Interviews==
If your intention is to step out of the expected behaviour a silent interview is definitely something to try out. This experimental approach will allow you to put the alumni in a unexpected situation which was not previously informed. The interesting outcome of this type of interview is the reaction of the alumni. By tying to cross the boundaries of tradition you can encounter very funny results or on the other hand quite unfortunate reactions…but you know, no risk no fun!
 
==Museum Tours==
Who doesn’t enjoy visiting museums? Most of the alumni,wether they are still active artists or designers or not will probably love a visit to a museum! We all come from art school and the passion for creativity probably remains all the way! This is a perfect chance to focus the interview on current art or design issues or maybe on a more historical view. Either way the result can be some extremely interesting content of exchange of opinions and knowledge related to the art world.
 
The downsides of this approach are the museum tickets, not so cheap normally, unless you have a museum card and finding a time and date that suite both the editorial team and the alumni, normally going to a museum takes a minimum of two hours.
 
==Skype Conversations==
Skype conversations are not the ideal way of initiating a dialogue with someone but in some cases it’s the only solution. This approach is very suitable for interviews with alumni that have left the country and live elsewhere or for situations when a physical meeting is not possible due to differences in schedules.
 
The good point of this approach is that it’s very time effective as it can be done from anywhere where a computer is available but on the other hand the interview will probably stay at a more formal level affecting the final content.
 
==Switching Roles==
Through are experimentation on new forms of interviewing we tried out a switch of roles. This particular method is a great way of breaking the ice. It allows the interviewee to take the leading role and by asking questions of his/her interest the sharing of information flows on both directions.
 
This approach makes the meeting less formal and serious allowing more personal topics to emerge. This can be interesting when the editorial team is trying to generate content that isn’t only related to the actual profession of the artist or designer.
 
The benefits of this approach are that it can be combined with almost any other method of interviewing, adding another layer to structure of the interview.
 
We tried this out when we visited the studio of Nonstopcollective and it lead to some interesting facts about our taste on music and our favourite places to go out which lead us to find similar interests between us.
 
==Confrontation==
The confrontation method is something we still haven’t tried out, however we believe it’s full of possibilities. Meeting up with two alumni at the same time can benefit the interview by making it more dynamic. The alumni that you choose to interview simultaneously can have very different approaches to their profession. This would create an interesting dialogue about the differences in their work and the reasons for their particular approach. Depending on who you are interviewing, this can also lead to certain confrontations which can also be interesting. But remember, if this is where you want to take the interview you must keep in mind the downsides and know how to re-direct the conversation if something goes wrong.
 
==Visual Interview==
A visual interview is a creative approach when trying to create a dialogue. Communication occurs in many forms that don’t have to include write or spoken language. By exchanging visual material one can reach unexpected results which can also conclude on beautiful pieces. This approach can be an option when a physical meeting is not possible due to differences on schedules or when the alumni lives in a different country.

• Brunch/lunch/dinner by the editorial team

Inviting the alumni for a meal gives the editorial team a more active approach towards the meeting. This gives the interviewers more control over the situation deciding on a location, the time of the interview, the type of food etc. All these factors will definitely affect the result of the interview, it can emphasise certain topics more than others and it can give space for unexpected conversations. This is a great solution when you feel like taking full control over the situation…and as they always say, food is the best way to share moments with people!

The downside of this approach is the fact that the editorial team has to deal with buying food or drinks, so it runs on personal budget! However, with a bit of creativity and motivation an economical lunch or dinner is never hard to obtain.

• Silent Interviews

If your intention is to step out of the expected behaviour a silent interview is definitely something to try out. This experimental approach will allow you to put the alumni in a unexpected situation which was not previously informed. The interesting outcome of this type of interview is the reaction of the alumni. By tying to cross the boundaries of tradition you can encounter very funny results or on the other hand quite unfortunate reactions…but you know, no risk no fun!

• Museum Tours

Who doesn’t enjoy visiting museums? Most of the alumni,wether they are still active artists or designers or not will probably love a visit to a museum! We all come from art school and the passion for creativity probably remains all the way! This is a perfect chance to focus the interview on current art or design issues or maybe on a more historical view. Either way the result can be some extremely interesting content of exchange of opinions and knowledge related to the art world.

The downsides of this approach are the museum tickets, not so cheap normally, unless you have a museum card and finding a time and date that suite both the editorial team and the alumni, normally going to a museum takes a minimum of two hours.

• Skype Conversations

Skype conversations are not the ideal way of initiating a dialogue with someone but in some cases it’s the only solution. This approach is very suitable for interviews with alumni that have left the country and live elsewhere or for situations when a physical meeting is not possible due to differences in schedules.

The good point of this approach is that it’s very time effective as it can be done from anywhere where a computer is available but on the other hand the interview will probably stay at a more formal level affecting the final content.

• Switching Roles

Through are experimentation on new forms of interviewing we tried out a switch of roles. This particular method is a great way of breaking the ice. It allows the interviewee to take the leading role and by asking questions of his/her interest the sharing of information flows on both directions.

This approach makes the meeting less formal and serious allowing more personal topics to emerge. This can be interesting when the editorial team is trying to generate content that isn’t only related to the actual profession of the artist or designer.

The benefits of this approach are that it can be combined with almost any other method of interviewing, adding another layer to structure of the interview.

We tried this out when we visited the studio of Nonstopcollective and it lead to some interesting facts about our taste on music and our favourite places to go out which lead us to find similar interests between us.

• Confrontation

The confrontation method is something we still haven’t tried out, however we believe it’s full of possibilities. Meeting up with two alumni at the same time can benefit the interview by making it more dynamic. The alumni that you choose to interview simultaneously can have very different approaches to their profession. This would create an interesting dialogue about the differences in their work and the reasons for their particular approach. Depending on who you are interviewing, this can also lead to certain confrontations which can also be interesting. But remember, if this is where you want to take the interview you must keep in mind the downsides and know how to re-direct the conversation if something goes wrong.

• Visual Interview

A visual interview is a creative approach when trying to create a dialogue. Communication occurs in many forms that don’t have to include write or spoken language. By exchanging visual material one can reach unexpected results which can also conclude on beautiful pieces. This approach can be an option when a physical meeting is not possible due to differences on schedules or when the alumni lives in a different country.
